Legal Sector Document Management Software

Why Does The Legal Sector Use Our Software?

Streamline case management by centralising document review, ensuring all relevant files are easily accessible in one secure location. Legal teams can access information both on-site and remotely, with full compliance and data security. This flexibility supports hybrid working while maintaining confidentiality and regulatory standards.

Reducing paper-based processes improves efficiency and minimises the risk of lost or misplaced documents. Automated workflows enable smoother collaboration across departments, supporting faster case progression and reducing administrative overhead.

All document types—including contracts, evidence, ID, and legal filings are stored digitally, with robust version control to track edits across users. This ensures that teams are always working from the most current version, maintaining accuracy and accountability in sensitive legal matters.

Documents are automatically assigned to the correct case using barcodes or case numbers, whether received electronically or in paper form. This intelligent indexing speeds up document processing and enhances consistency across case files, reducing the potential for human error.

With a digital document management system in place, firms can simplify audits, accelerate information retrieval, and improve responsiveness to client and court requests. The result is a more agile and resilient legal practice equipped to handle high volumes of documentation with confidence.Book a Discovery Call

Digital Signatures

Adopting digital signatures ensures compliance with legal standards and audit trails, providing verifiable proof of signing for all parties involved. This streamlines workflows, reduces turnaround times, and minimises the risk of errors or document loss, making them an essential tool for modern legal practices.

Specific document types commonly signed with digital signatures in law firms:

Contracts
Sales contracts, partnership agreements, franchise agreements, distribution contracts, and other commercial contracts. 

Wills and Trusts
While some jurisdictions may still require wet signatures for wills, digital signatures can be used for other documents related to estate planning.

Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)
NDAs are frequently used to protect confidential information in various legal contexts. Learn More About Digital Signatures
