From Briefs to Bots: How Law Firms Are Embracing Legal Tech to Work Smarter
Local law firms are under growing pressure to modernise. Clients increasingly expect clearer pricing,
especially for legal work that can be standardised or commoditised. At the same time, law firms must stay
competitive, deliver high-quality work efficiently, and maintain strong data security and governance
standards.
To keep up, firms need to move beyond simply storing knowledge and reusing out of date precedents.
The next step is automation—streamlining repetitive tasks so lawyers, paralegals and support staff can
focus on higher-value work. This not only improves productivity but also frees up time for better client
service and strategic thinking.
Helping Law Firms Work Smarter
At Clarity, we support this shift by helping law firms manage their information more intelligently. Our tools
include document automation, digital workflows, and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI). Two
keyways’ firms are benefiting are:
(a) Using AI to get more out of their data and boost profitability; and
(b) Improving client service through secure, real-time collaboration.
1. Using AI to Unlock Your Data
Our M-Files platform includes an AI assistant called AINO, which helps users find and understand
information more easily, just by using everyday language.
Here’s how AINO can help legal teams:
Summarising long documents: AINO can instantly summarise case files, contracts or legal texts, helping
you get the key points without reading everything. This saves time and speeds up decision-making.
Filling in key details: When a new document is added, AINO can automatically pick out key information
like client names, dates or case numbers. This reduces manual entry and keeps records consistent and
easy to find.
Answering questions: Instead of searching through folders, you can ask AINO things like, “Where is
‘change in control’ mentioned in the Facility Agreement?” or “What are the key findings in this case?”
AINO understands your question and finds relevant answers, while respecting all access controls and
security rules.
In short, AINO helps legal teams work faster, reduce errors, and make better use of the information they
already have in their DMS.
2. Improving Client Collaboration
File-sharing platforms and data rooms aren’t new, but many still involve sending documents outside your
firm’s control, which can increase risk, especially for sensitive data.
M-Files Hubshare takes a different approach. It keeps everything within your secure environment, so
there's no need to duplicate files or use third-party platforms. Clients and colleagues can work on the
same version of a document at the same time—safely and efficiently.
Key Benefits of Hubshare Include:
Real-time collaboration: Everyone works on the latest version, with no confusion over updates.
Secure and professional portals: You can create branded, customised workspaces for each client or
project.
Compliance and control: With full audit trails, encrypted transfers and detailed access controls, you stay
in charge of your data at all times.
Built for modern working: Hubshare works on any device and supports hybrid and remote teams.
It also includes workflow tools to automate approvals and track progress, helping you keep matters
moving smoothly.
Smarter Information, Better Results
Managing information better, helps law firms run more efficiently, reduce risk, and improve client service.
Whether you want to speed up workflows, keep documents well organised, or give your teams faster
access to the information they need, Clarity can help.
By embracing automation and secure collaboration tools, your firm can cut down on manual work, stay
compliant, and deliver a better service, now and into the future.
