AI-native matter management for law firms that have outgrown SharePoint

SharePoint is folder-based: documents float in trees that everyone names differently and nobody can search. WorkiDoc Legal is matter-centric: every document, email, note, and approval is anchored to a specific Client/Matter and profiled with metadata (Document Type, Author, Status, Privilege) at save. Search runs across the body of every file, OCR’d PDF, and email — with matter, party, and date filters no SharePoint setup can match. And we don’t require a SharePoint admin to maintain it.

Those tools are practice management systems — they run intake, billing, time tracking, and trust accounting. They attach documents to a matter, which sophisticated firms know is not the same as document management (no profiling, weak search, no ethical walls, limited versioning). WorkiDoc Legal is a true DMS that complements your PMS. Integrations with Clio and Centerbase keep matters and contacts in sync; we don’t replace your billing system.

iManage and NetDocuments are the BigLaw incumbents — deep, configurable, and expensive to deploy. Typical mid-size firm: 8–16-week implementation, £8k–15k migration, $50/user/month plus add-ons. WorkiDoc Legal is AI-native rather than AI-bolt-on: classification, summarisation, and audit-grade governance are core, not optional modules. We’re built for firms that have outgrown SharePoint but don’t want the BigLaw price tag or implementation overhead.

We operate under zero-retention agreements with model providers. Your matter data is never used to train shared models. Every AI prompt, retrieval set, and output is logged in your firm’s audit trail — so when partners ask “what did the AI see, and what did it produce?”, the answer is one click. Enterprise customers can route AI through their own Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, or self-hosted endpoint. This addresses ABA Rule 1.6(c) and the trust-and-verification requirement in Formal Opinion 477R.

We don’t do court-rules docketing (Aderant Milana and American LegalNet eDockets are excellent at it — we integrate, we don’t compete). We don’t do trust accounting or time-and-billing — those stay with your practice management system. We focus on documents, emails, approvals, and audit: the parts of the legal workflow that current tools handle worst.

Most firms are operational in 3–7 days. Day one: connect Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace via OAuth and AI auto-classification begins on incoming mail. Day two–five: bulk import from SharePoint, OneDrive, Dropbox, or network drives — with AI-assisted matter mapping. Day five–seven: configure approval workflows and practice-group permissions. No five-figure migration quote, no implementation tax. Enterprise firms with custom requirements get a dedicated success engineer.
