Session Overview
Reimagining Legal Matter Management: Unlocking the Full Power of SharePoint + AI
Today’s legal departments are being asked to deliver more value, adopt new technologies and manage risk with fewer resources. Many teams assume they need to invest in costly, standalone matter management platforms to keep up. But the truth is, you may already own the solution.
Your Microsoft 365 ecosystem, when configured effectively, can provide nearly every capability of an advanced matter management system: secure document storage, matter-centric workspaces, version control, automation, workflows, reporting and knowledge sharing. Better yet, because it’s all part of your Microsoft investment, no additional infrastructure and very little or no extra licensing is required
But the advantages go beyond cost savings. By consolidating your legal content in Microsoft’s ecosystem, you create the foundation to leverage generative AI tools securely. With matters, documents and institutional knowledge in one place, your team can ask better questions, find faster answers and unlock insights, knowing that data is protected within Microsoft’s compliance and security framework.
Using examples from our experience working on large and complex matter and practice management solutions for law firms, as well as being part of the development of HiveLaw (an innovative practice management platform developed by LawLabz to service University Law Clinics and improve legal services to the under-serviced segments of South Africa), we’ll demonstrate how we have helped forward-thinking legal teams to transform the way they work by:
Reimagining Microsoft 365 as a powerful, modern matter management solution.
Driving efficiency and secure collaboration without adding overhead.
Unlocking AI-driven insights across their content securely and with confidence.
Positioning their departments for the future of digital legal work.
Don’t let outdated assumptions hold your team back. The tools for secure, compliant and AI-ready matter management are already at your fingertips—it’s time to put them to work.
Three Tangible Learnings
How to configure Microsoft 365 as a true matter, document- and practice- management solution—including practical approaches for matter-centric workspaces, document control and collaboration.
Ways to securely leverage Copilot across legal content—ensuring compliance while unlocking new efficiencies and insights.
How to maximise the Microsoft investment you already have—avoiding unnecessary spend on standalone systems while improving productivity and scalability.
