What is matter management?

Helps in-house legal departments to become profitable and not seen as a cost center

With the wide variety of matters that corporate legal departments have to manage, a legal matter management system is essential for process standardisation and efficient service delivery.

Corporate inhouse legal departments work load is largely dictated by the type of business they represent.  Rome can’t be built in a day, so we often start with one of the most time onerous projects to reduce the impact on the legal team, irrelevant of their size which, is the legal request process.   Lawyers waste hours dealing with legal requests, providing updates and managing tasks that take them away from what they should really be doing to add value to the business.
