M-Files for Legal Departments
Automate legal department management
Short Overview
Automate Routine Tasks of Lawyers
The legal department protects the interests of the company and works to maintain and increase its value. For the effective operation, a well-developed structure of departments is important, as well as well-tuned tools for automating everyday tasks of lawyers and for communication between departments.
Every day, the company’s lawyers work with different documents: claims, lawsuits, contracts, powers of attorney, licenses, statutory and permit documents. Processing and approval of documents, search for information and coordination between departments require a lot of time and labor. If the company lacks an information management solution, lawyers will start using an unauthorized storage and personal file sharing tools, which can result in leaking sensitive information, communication failures, and missed deadlines.
M-Files helps to classify all types of documents, set up a quick search and launch an efficient approval workflow. With the system, legal departments can improve document management and meet deadlines, coordinate document exchange and communication between departments and teams, set up quick search for documents and files, speed up and simplify operational activities using artificial intelligence.
