From intake, matters and contracts to AI-assisted drafting, legal spend, collaboration and 
reporting.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For General Counsel • Corporate Legal Departments • Legal Operations • In-House Counsel
Publication-ready feature guide | 2026 edition
THE OPERATING REALITY
Legal work rarely arrives in a neat queue.
Requests come through email and chat. Contracts sit in shared drives. Deadlines live in 
personal calendars. Outside counsel sends invoices in one place and status updates in 
another. The legal team is expected to see the whole picture anyway.
For a growing corporate legal function, the real problem is not a lack of effort. It is fragmentation. Every handoff 
creates another place to check, another version to reconcile, and another chance for an important detail to 
disappear from view.
MatterSuite is designed to bring the core pieces of legal work into a connected environment: intake, matters, 
contracts, documents, litigation, tasks, calendars, spend, collaboration, legal AI and reporting. The value is not simply
having more features. It is being able to move from a request to an accountable workflow without rebuilding the 
context at every step.
What this guide does
Rather than treating MatterSuite as a list of software 
functions, this guide explains how the capabilities fit the 
working day of an in-house team — and where they can 
reduce administrative drag, improve visibility and support 
better legal decisions.

WHO IT IS BUILT FOR
Different roles need different answers 
from the same system.
A useful legal platform should give each person enough detail to do their work without 
forcing everyone into the same view.

A practical design principle
The same matter should support operational detail for the 
working team and concise oversight for leadership. That is 
where centralized legal management becomes more 
valuable than a collection of standalone tools.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 3
01 • LEGAL AI
Use AI for the first mile of legal work — 
not the final judgment.
MatterSuite’s current product positioning includes AI document drafting, AI NDA 
generation and AI-supported legal research for in-house teams. The practical advantage is 
speed at the beginning of work, while review, validation and legal responsibility stay with 
counsel.
AI Document Drafting
Starting from a blank page is rarely the highest-value use of a lawyer’s time. AI Document Drafting can help prepare 
a first draft of common legal documents, clauses, letters or matter-specific materials from structured input or 
templates. For in-house teams, the benefit is consistency and momentum: the lawyer begins with something to 
review, revise and negotiate rather than assembling standard language from scratch.
•  Useful for repeatable document types where the team already has preferred language, clause positions or templates.
•  Can shorten the gap between a business request and the first legal response.
•  Should sit inside a review process; generated text still needs legal, factual and jurisdictional validation.
AI NDA Generator
NDAs are frequent, time-sensitive and often interrupt higher-value work. An AI NDA Generator can turn basic deal 
inputs — parties, purpose, confidentiality scope and commercial context — into a draft that is ready for legal review.
When paired with e-signature, document management and renewal tracking, the NDA becomes part of a managed 
workflow rather than a one-off attachment in email.
Where this helps
Vendor onboarding, early-stage commercial discussions, 
outside counsel onboarding, internal collaboration 
involving sensitive information, and other situations where 
an NDA needs to be created quickly but still controlled.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 4
LEGAL AI CONTINUED
AI Legal Research
Research is more useful when the result can stay connected to the matter that prompted 
the question.
MatterSuite’s AI Legal Research capability is positioned to help legal teams search for relevant authorities and legal 
information, then keep research alongside the matter. In an in-house setting, this can be especially useful when a 
question needs to be answered quickly but also needs a traceable research record for later review.
Ask a focused legal question Keep research with the matter
Use natural-language queries to narrow the starting point for Store useful research, summaries or notes where the legal 
case law, statutes, regulations or jurisdictional issues. team can find them again, rather than leaving them in an 
individual browser history.
Compare and brief Review before relying
Use research outputs as working material for internal advice, AI can accelerate discovery of relevant material, but citations,
issue spotting, briefing notes and matter strategy. currency, applicability and legal conclusions still require 
professional verification.
A sensible AI governance approach
1 Define approved use cases
Decide where AI is appropriate — for example first drafts, research triage or summarization — and where human-
only review is required.
2 Protect confidential information
Use role-based access, matter permissions and internal policies to control which information can be used in AI-
assisted workflows.
3 Verify the legal output
Treat AI-generated language and research as working material. Counsel should confirm facts, authorities, citations, 
jurisdiction and final advice.
4 Keep the record
Where AI materially contributes to a document or research task, preserve the resulting work product in the same 
matter or document repository as the rest of the legal file.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 5
02 • MATTER INTAKE & OVERSIGHT
Matter Management starts before a 
matter is opened.
The quality of the matter record depends on what is captured at the beginning and how 
consistently the team updates it afterwards.
Matter Management
Matter Management provides the central record for legal work from intake through closure. A well-maintained 
matter can hold the request, issue type, business owner, responsible attorney, outside counsel, documents, tasks, 
deadlines, financials, communications and status in one place. That gives the working team context and gives 
leadership a dependable view of the portfolio.
Matter Intake Forms Client Intake Forms
Standardize internal legal requests so the team receives the Where external or client-style intake is part of the operating

up front. information before work begins.
Contact Management Conflict Check

Tagging Multi-location Management
Apply consistent tags to matters, cases and documents so Coordinate matters across offices, regions or distributed legal
teams can filter by business unit, risk type, jurisdiction, teams while maintaining a centralized management view.
project or another internal taxonomy.
For LegalOps
Intake is one of the best places to standardize the legal 
operating model. A good form reduces clarification emails, 
improves reporting fields and makes routing rules possible.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 6
03 • LITIGATION & DISPUTES
Keep litigation work attached to the 
dispute, not scattered across tools.
Litigation produces a dense mix of deadlines, filings, evidence, discovery material, 
communications, research and outside counsel activity. MatterSuite’s litigation capabilities
are intended to keep those elements connected.
Litigation Management
Litigation Management can provide a working record for disputes, from early assessment through hearings, 
settlement activity and closure. The team can track matter status, assigned lawyers, external counsel, deadlines, 
documents, tasks and spend without building a separate project tracker for every case.
Legal Calendaring Task Management
Track hearings, filing dates, internal milestones, contract Assign actions with owners and due dates, then make 
dates and other legal deadlines in a calendar tied to the responsibility visible instead of relying on email follow-up.

Outside counsel relationships
When external counsel is involved, a shared matter record 
makes it easier to align updates, documents, deadlines and 
billing with the internal legal team’s reporting expectations.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 7
04 • CONTRACTS
Contract Lifecycle Management should 
connect the request, the document and 
the obligation.
A contract process is more than storing the signed PDF. Legal teams need a repeatable 
path from request and drafting through review, approval, signature, renewal and retrieval.
Contract Lifecycle Management
MatterSuite’s Contract Lifecycle Management capability can bring contract work into a controlled lifecycle. Requests 
can be captured, documents drafted and reviewed, approvals routed, signatures collected and important dates 
retained for follow-up. The practical gain is visibility: LegalOps can see what is waiting, counsel can see what 
changed, and the business can receive a clearer status than “it is with legal.”
1 Request
Capture the business need, contract type, counterparty, owner, timing and supporting documents through a 
structured intake process.
2 Draft & review
Use templates or AI-assisted drafting, store versions centrally and collaborate on changes in real time.
3 Approve
Route work through the appropriate legal, finance, procurement, security or business approvals using workflow 
automation.
4 Sign
Use E-Signature to move an approved agreement to execution without breaking the document trail.
5 Manage
Track renewal or expiry dates, obligations, related communications and the final agreement in the legal document 
repository.
Why General Counsel cares
A managed contract lifecycle gives leadership better answers on volume, bottlenecks, renewal exposure, 
turnaround time and the legal team’s workload — without asking the team to build a spreadsheet after the 
fact.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 8
05 • DOCUMENTS & KNOWLEDGE
A legal document is useful only if the right 
person can find the right version.
Document management is the connective tissue between matters, contracts, litigation, 
research and reporting.
Legal Document Management
Legal Document Management provides a structured repository for legal files and matter-related documents. Instead 
of treating storage as a final destination, the stronger model is to attach documents to the work they support, 
preserve version context, use tags for retrieval and control who can view or edit sensitive content.
Real-Time Editing / Updating Tagging — documents, matters & cases
Collaborate on current working content and reduce duplicate Create a retrieval layer that reflects the legal department’s 
“final_v7” files circulating by email. own categories, jurisdictions, risk areas, entities or business 
units.
Evidence Repository eDiscovery Repository

organized source of truth for the legal team. repository support is sufficient for the team’s use case.
Multilingual Support White-Labelling

A small operational habit with a big payoff
Agree a naming, tagging and matter-closing standard 
before migration. Technology can make information 
searchable, but a shared taxonomy makes it consistently 
useful.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 9
06 • COLLABORATION & WORKFLOW
Legal work moves faster when status is 
visible without another meeting.
The goal is not to eliminate communication. It is to stop using communication as the only 
record of what is happening.
Workflow Automation Task Management
Route intake, reviews, approvals, reminders and repeatable Turn a matter update into a clear action with an owner, due 
handoffs according to the legal department’s process. date and visible completion status.
Legal Calendaring Client Communication
Keep legal dates and operational deadlines connected to Maintain communications in a more structured context so 
matters and visible to the people responsible for them. important updates are not lost in personal inboxes.
Client Portal Real-Time Updating
Provide a secure area for appropriate external participants to Allow the legal team to work from current status and current 
share files, receive updates or collaborate, depending on the documents rather than periodic manual reconciliations.
deployment.
A simple workflow example: a business request
1 Intake arrives
A business user submits the required facts and attachments through a form.
2 Matter is categorized
Rules or LegalOps assign the matter type, responsible lawyer, priority, tags and required approvals.
3 Work is coordinated
Tasks, deadlines, documents, communications and research remain linked to the matter as it progresses.
4 Stakeholders get status
The business or approved external participants can receive updates without creating a parallel tracker.
5 Data becomes reportable
Because the same fields were captured consistently, LegalOps can report on volume, turnaround, workload and 
outcomes later.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 10
07 • SPEND, BILLING & ACCOUNTING
Legal spend makes more sense when the 
invoice is viewed beside the matter.
Financial oversight is strongest when budgets, time, expenses and invoices are connected 
to the legal work that generated them.
Time and Expense Tracking Billing and Invoicing
Record internal time or matter-related expenses where the Manage invoices and billing information in the legal workflow

What LegalOps can do with connected spend data
•  Compare budget and actual spend by matter, practice area, business unit, region or outside counsel relationship where
the configured data supports it.
•  Review invoices with the context of matter status and current work, rather than treating billing as an isolated finance 
exercise.
•  Use consistent billing data and reports to support outside counsel conversations, forecasting and management 
reporting.
A procurement question worth asking
If LEDES, e-billing rules, approval paths or finance 
integrations are important, validate the exact configuration,
supported formats and exception-handling process before 
rollout.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 11
08 • REPORTING
Turn legal activity into management 
information.
General Counsel does not need more raw data. Leadership needs a concise view of what is
open, what is changing, where risk is concentrated and where time or money is being 
consumed.
Advanced Reporting
Advanced Reporting can bring together matter, contract, workload and financial information into recurring reports 
and dashboards. For LegalOps, the value is consistency: the same definitions can be used from month to month 
instead of rebuilding the report from ad hoc spreadsheets.
Case Analytics
Case Analytics adds a more focused view of disputes and case activity. Depending on the data captured, teams can 
examine trends in case volume, matter stage, duration, outcomes, assigned resources, spend or other operational 
measures. The quality of the analytics will always depend on the quality and consistency of the underlying matter 
data.
GC dashboard LegalOps dashboard
Open high-risk matters, major deadlines, top spend, portfolio Intake volumes, workload, cycle time, workflow bottlenecks, 
movement and issues requiring executive attention. data quality, outside counsel spend and team capacity.
Contract dashboard Litigation dashboard

dates, turnaround and contract types. status, exposure fields and outcome trends where 
configured.
Reporting principle
Decide the management questions first, then configure 
fields and dashboards. Capturing data “because the system 
can” usually creates more maintenance than insight.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 12
09 • INTEGRATIONS
Keep legal connected to the tools the 
business already uses.
A legal platform becomes harder to adopt when it forces people to abandon every familiar 
tool. MatterSuite lists integrations with common productivity, finance, storage and 
payment services; the exact integration depth should be confirmed for the chosen 
deployment.
Google Workspace / G Suite Microsoft Outlook
Connect legal work with familiar Google productivity and Bring calendar or email-related workflows closer to the legal 
calendar workflows where supported. matter environment where the configured integration allows.

Microsoft OneDrive LawPay
Support Microsoft cloud storage as part of the document Connect legal payment workflows where LawPay is part of 
ecosystem. the organization’s operating model.
PayPal
Support payment-related workflows where PayPal is used 
and the relevant integration is enabled.
Integration questions for IT and LegalOps
•  Is the integration one-way or two-way, and which objects actually synchronize?
•  How are permissions, deletion, retention and versioning handled across systems?
•  What happens when a user changes, a connection expires or data conflicts?
•  Which integrations are standard, which require configuration, and which may require custom work?
Why this matters
“Integrates with” can mean very different things. Document
the expected workflow for each connected application 
before treating the integration as a solved requirement.

MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 15
HOW THE PIECES FIT
Three everyday workflows
The usefulness of a legal platform is easier to see in a workflow than in a feature list.
Scenario 1 — A vendor contract needs legal review
A procurement or business user submits a structured request. The matter or contract is categorized and routed to 
the right lawyer. The team starts from a template or AI-assisted first draft, collaborates on the document, assigns 
approvals, gathers an e-signature and stores the executed agreement. Renewal dates and follow-up tasks remain 
visible, and the contract can later appear in reporting without a separate spreadsheet.
Scenario 2 — A new dispute is escalated
The legal team opens a matter, links key contacts and outside counsel, stores pleadings and evidence, records 
deadlines in the legal calendar and assigns tasks. Discovery materials can be kept in the matter repository, while 
communications, research and spend remain attached to the case. LegalOps can report on status and cost without 
asking counsel to rebuild the history manually.
Scenario 3 — The General Counsel prepares for a quarterly business review
Instead of collecting status slides from every lawyer, the GC and LegalOps team use matter and reporting data to 
identify high-risk work, important deadlines, contract volume, outside counsel spend, workload and emerging 
trends. The discussion can focus on decisions and resource priorities rather than reconciling numbers.
The common thread
Structured intake creates better matter data. Better matter 
data improves workflows. Better workflows create cleaner 
reporting. The platform is most valuable when those pieces 
are designed together rather than implemented as 
separate modules.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 16
ROLE-BASED VALUE
What each stakeholder should expect to 
improve
A good implementation should be judged by changes in the working experience, not by 
the number of features switched on.
General Counsel LegalOps Director
Faster access to portfolio status, risk, major deadlines, A configurable operating layer for intake, workflows, 
legal spend and workload. Fewer manual status requests. matter data, reporting, billing processes and legal 
More confidence that the underlying information is technology governance. Better leverage from standards

LegalOps Manager In-House Counsel & Legal Staff
Less chasing for intake details, task owners, deadline Less time searching across folders and inboxes. Easier 
updates, invoice context and report fields. A clearer access to matter history, current documents, contacts, 
place to manage exceptions and keep daily work moving. deadlines, research and assigned work.
Outside Counsel Collaboration Business Stakeholders

status and billing information when portal or collaboration with less uncertainty about who owns the work and what
access is configured. information legal still needs.
Implementation target
If the new platform does not reduce duplicate tracking, 
status-chasing and manual reporting, revisit the process 
design before adding more configuration.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 17
ROLLOUT CHECKLIST
Questions to answer before configuration 
begins
The most successful legal technology projects usually make process decisions before the 
system is asked to automate them.
01  Which types of legal work will become a “matter,” and 02  What information is mandatory at intake for contracts, 
which requests should stay lightweight? disputes, compliance, claims or advisory work?
03  Who can see sensitive matter, document, billing and 04  Which workflows are repetitive enough to automate, 
contact data? Define a permission model before migration. and where does legal judgment require a flexible path?
05  What are the five to ten metrics General Counsel and 06  How will outside counsel submit updates and invoices, 
LegalOps actually need every month or quarter? and which LEDES or billing rules are required?
07  Which document repositories should be migrated, linked 08  Which Google, Microsoft, accounting, storage or 
or retired? Agree tagging and naming conventions. payment integrations are essential on day one?
09  Do multi-location or multilingual teams need different 10  What is the policy for AI-assisted drafting and research, 
forms, fields, permissions, workflows or reporting views? including validation, confidentiality and recordkeeping?
Start smaller than the feature list
Choose a few high-friction workflows with clear owners and
measurable outcomes. A focused rollout often creates 
better adoption than trying to redesign every legal process 
at once.
MATTERSUITE Feature Guide for In-House Legal Teams 18
CLOSING PERSPECTIVE
Bring legal work into one operating view.
In-house legal teams are asked to move quickly, protect the organization, manage outside 
counsel, control spend and give the business clear answers. That gets harder when the 
underlying work is split across inboxes, spreadsheets, file shares and point solutions.
MatterSuite brings together the core building blocks of a modern legal operation: matter and litigation management,
contract lifecycle management, document control, intake, calendaring, tasks, communication, financial workflows, 
analytics, reporting, integrations and AI-assisted legal work.
The strongest use case is not “one more system.” It is a working environment where the matter becomes the shared 
context for the legal team — and where LegalOps can turn that context into repeatable process and reliable 
management information.
A useful next step
Map one real workflow from request to closure. Identify 
every handoff, spreadsheet, inbox, document store, 
deadline and report involved. Then evaluate how much of 
that workflow MatterSuite can bring into a single, 
accountable path.
