LegalOn Technologies, a legal technology company that until now has focused on AI-driven contract review, said today that it is expanding into matter management with a major upgrade to its platform that allows legal departments to manage the intake and execution of legal requests. 

“We want to help legal teams solve the problems that slow business, create risk and plague contracting,” said Daniel Lewis, US CEO of LegalOn. “Contract pain is acute when reviewing agreements, but it includes steps before and after, which is why we’ve expanded to matter management. Now we can help legal teams intake, respond to and track all sorts of requests from the business, not just contracts.” 

According to the company, its new Matter Management organizes and tracks legal work, speeding up the work of legal teams and improving collaboration with business stakeholders, including sales, marketing, HR and finance. 

The new feature includes capabilities to:

  • Intake legal requests for all matters — not just contracts — from Slack, email, web forms or direct entry.
  • Filter and assign matters by status, team or requester, all viewable through a dashboard with real-time notifications for status changes and mentions.
  • Track and collaborate on all work, including the ability to see what is in progress or overdue and who is responsible.
  • See the full record of every matter, including the ability to maintain an audit trail and link matters to files, templates and clauses.
  • Save time with AI that offers suggestions based on past requests and other relevant materials.

New Interface and Updates

In addition to launching this new Matter Management feature, LegalOn also unveiled a new interface and platform-wide updates, including enhancements to Review, its AI contract review tool that identifies contract risks and suggests revisions based on attorney-built playbooks and each organization’s unique legal standards.

The company said that key benefits of the new interface and feature updates include: 

  • Review redlines to first-party paper. AI reviews counterparty redlines to first-party contracts, like sales contracts and NDAs, to assess if they meet a team’s playbook for acceptable fallback positions, not just preferred language.
  • Translation across 28 languages. Contracts written in 28 languages can be automatically translated into English for review, then translated back into the original language when edits are complete.
  • AI knowledge management. LegalOn’s Knowledge Core transforms a company’s contracts, matters and templates into a source of intelligence that constantly learns to help users search, compare and apply past knowledge to contracts, drafting, matters and more.
  • Expanded AI Assistant. From intake to contract review to matter resolution, LegalOn Assistant now provides help in more ways and with more tasks, the company says. Users can now ask questions about an individual contract or across their entire repository, summarize contract terms and redlines, draft clauses, find precedents, translate contracts and more.

All of this is integrated within a single platform, and organizations can adopt some or all of these products, with the flexibility to expand as their needs grow. 

When it expanded to the U.S. in 2022, LegalOn was already one of Japan’s largest providers of AI contract review technology. In 2023, it opened commercial availability in the U.S. Last year, it released its generative AI assistant, LegalOn Assistant, and earlier this year, it expanded its contract review platform with a feature to create custom playbooks.
