SimpleLegal
Automate legal workflow, track progress, collaborate with teams, and securely manage data with advanced analytics.
What is SimpleLegal?
SimpleLegal is a legal workflow management platform designed to help in-house legal teams automate routine tasks, track matters and deadlines, and collaborate on documents and approvals. The tool sits between your existing systems and your team, handling administrative overhead so lawyers can focus on higher-value work. It offers task automation, progress tracking, team collaboration features, and secure data management with built-in analytics. The freemium model means small teams or those testing the software can start for free, whilst larger organisations pay for additional capacity and features.
