The information management features allows organizations to gainfully discover and see more into the process around a legal matter which helps unlock valuable MI which was pretty much unknown before. The system offers live-status reports and real-time monitoring of the entire legal workload. Combined with optional plugin that hooks into Outlook allowing users to forward e-mails directly from their inbox straight into a LawVu matter, makes collaboration seamless with all external legal providers.

One of the key aspects to the software is how it allows in-house legal departments to engage with internal clients and all their external advisors in one cloud-based system that offers full, or partial, visibility to the relevant parties on the matter. This means that parties are always on the same page when it comes to the scope, status and next stepson a legal matter.

“We provide one platform which is browser-based, this makes it easy for law firms to access the system as well. It’s a very low-touch solution that doesn’t require dedicated efforts of IT teams to get everyone hooked in.”

“The enterprise software market is currently filled with a lot of complicated and very costly technology solutions, we are aiming to shake this up and enable change and help improve the way legal departments function,” Kidd continued.

The company has recently and successfully demystified the activities of the legal department for one of its clients. The client, a large organization, had been unable to easily gain a total overview into it’s on-going legal work.

Engaging with LawVu provided them with a suite of solutions straight out of the box, converging all communication in and out of the department, allowing them to see which matters are being looked after by which service providers, combined with seeing what work remained in-house. They have been blown away with how easy it was to setup and more importantly, how fast it unlocked insight and metrics that had previously been difficult to obtain.

LawVu believes that the market for legal software still has a hard road ahead because there is a large number of point solutions and technology being introduced into the legal world. There is also a lot scare mongering going on in legal tech at the moment causing a lot of enterprises and legal firms to stall.

Change doesn’t have to be scary or complicated, the company continues to engage with law firms and enterprises to educate them on the importance of collaborative legal software. Next year, the company wants to expand its horizons and is already in talks to offer its services outside New Zealand and to become an international player in specialized legal software market.
