Why MatterWorks

The gap most
legal teams
are stuck in.

Off-the-shelf software rarely fits the way your team actually works. Building something custom requires a technical product team most firms don't have. And translating a legal problem into a technology solution takes a kind of fluency that's hard to find.


That's the gap we close.

01
Large SaaS solutions don't fit.
Off-the-shelf platforms are built for everyone, which means they're optimized for no one. Legal teams overpay for software that covers 60% of their needs. You're paying to drive a Ferrari when you need a Camry.
02
Custom requires a team you don't have.
Building the right solution requires a competent technical product team. Most law firms and in-house legal departments don't have one and are already resource constrained. Finding people who know both legal and tech is like looking for unicorns.
03
Translating legal to tech is hard.
You know exactly what you need operationally. Turning that into a technology spec, into design, into functioning technology requires fluency in both legal operations and engineering.
Who we help

Who is this
right for?

We work with legal teams and law firms who are stuck in the gap between what they need and what exists.

In-house legal teams at large enterprises
You have complexity, volume, and cross-functional dependencies. Off-the-shelf CLM, matter management, and workflow tools cover the basics but miss what your team actually needs.
Enterprise Legal Ops
In-house legal teams at mid-market companies
You're growing fast, your legal ops are getting more complex, and you don't have the budget for enterprise vendors — but you need solutions that actually scale with you.
Mid-Market Legal
Law firms of all sizes
BigLaw modernizing internal operations, mid-market firms differentiating through technology, and boutiques building client-facing tools their competitors don't have yet.

What we do

From legal problem
to working solution.

Every engagement starts with understanding your unique operation and ends with deployed software that solves a real, defined, measurable problem for your organization.

01
Technology Assessment & Strategy
We map your legal operations, audit your current tools, and identify exactly where technology can do more. You get a clear picture of what to build, buy, or replace — and why.
→
02
Custom Software Development
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we build. From workflow tools to client-facing applications, we design and engineer software around how your team actually operates.
→
03
Systems Integration
Most legal teams already have the right tools — they just don't talk to each other. We connect your existing platforms into a cohesive, automated ecosystem.
→
04
Workflow Automation
We identify the manual, repetitive work inside your legal operations and eliminate it — building automations that save time without sacrificing control or compliance.
→
05
AI & Emerging Technology
We cut through the noise. Whether it's document intelligence, contract review, or legal research tooling, we help you identify where AI genuinely moves the needle — and implement it responsibly.
→
06
Microsoft 365 Engineering
Most legal teams live inside Microsoft 365. We make it work harder — building custom integrations, automations, and tooling across Teams, SharePoint, and Power Automate tailored to your legal workflows.

Case study
Custom CLM - moving off a legacy vendor
A leading global pharmaceutical manufacturer was locked into an industry-standard CLM vendor that no longer fit their contract complexity or team workflows. The platform was expensive, rigid, and required significant manual workaround. We assessed their legal operations end-to-end, identified the gaps, and built a custom contract lifecycle management solution - integrated directly into their existing enterprise environment and tailored to their specific approval chains, jurisdiction requirements, and reporting needs.
The result: $1.5M in annual savings and a legal ops team that finally had a system built for them.

Case study
SharePoint & M365 optimization for a mid-size UK law firm
A mid-size UK law firm was running their legal operations on a SharePoint environment that had grown organically over years - inconsistent document structures, poor metadata, and no real matter management to speak of. The team was spending significant time navigating the system rather than doing legal work. We audited their Microsoft 365 environment end-to-end, redesigned their SharePoint architecture, and built custom tooling on top of the ecosystem to bring document management, metadata, and matter management into a single coherent workflow.
The result: a 23% increase in operational efficiency - measured over three months post go-live - and a legal team that actually enjoys using their own systems.
