Legal matter management with M365

Make knowledge centrally available with a solution that integrates your legal department into M365.

Matter management that fits your M365 environment

Too many tools, too little overview: matters are managed across different systems, including sensitive documents, tight deadlines and complex coordination. This leads to media disruptions, a lack of transparency and high coordination effort. 

With the novaCapta Legal Matter Hub, you bring the entire matter process together directly in Microsoft 365. From intake and processing to knowledge management. Without system changes, without isolated solutions.

Why legal departments still lose time despite digitalization

Scattered matter data

Matter and case data is distributed across email inboxes, SharePoint and file storage systems. There is no central overview.

Manual deadline management

Deadlines are tracked manually. This increases the risk of appointments being overlooked or handled too late.

Lost case knowledge

Knowledge from completed or ongoing cases is not systematically secured and gets lost.

Complicated collaboration

Collaboration often requires manual coordination, media disruptions and time-consuming workarounds.

Isolated legal software

Existing legal software is not integrated into the M365 environment. This leads to media disruptions, a lack of transparency and additional compliance risks.

The result: loss of time, lack of transparency and increased compliance risks.

The novaCapta Legal Matter Hub: matter management in Microsoft 365

Our Legal Matter Hub brings together all phases of matter processing in your existing Microsoft 365 environment, from intake to closure

  • Central file management in SharePoint with business-specific navigation

  • Automated intake via configurable forms

  • Email filing directly from Outlook via add-in

  • Deadline monitoring with automated notifications

  • Permission-based collaboration, including with external parties

  • AI-supported document analysis and contract recognition

How the Legal Matter Hub supports the CLOC matter lifecycle

Intake

Capture requests in a structured way and automatically forward them to the right people. This ensures every matter starts with clear information and a traceable status.

Planning

Set up matters cleanly, define responsibilities and make the next steps plannable. This creates greater transparency around effort and priorities from the start.

Processing

Process matters centrally in Microsoft 365, store documents in a structured way and keep track of deadlines. This reduces media disruptions and makes collaboration easier.

Closure

Close matters cleanly, store information in an audit-proof way and secure relevant knowledge for future cases. This ensures that no know-how is lost when a case is closed.

Manage Legal Matters more efficiently and reduce licensing & training effort

What Schwäbisch Hall achieved with the Hub

With the Legal Matter Hub, Schwäbisch Hall creates a central foundation for faster coordination, reliable documentation, and long-term access to case knowledge. Existing Microsoft 365 licenses and familiar applications help keep training, licensing, and system requirements to a minimum.

With the Legal Matter Hub, we now have a solution that structures our matter management, preserves knowledge for the long term, and significantly simplifies collaboration across our legal department. What is particularly valuable for us is that everything is integrated within the familiar Microsoft environment.
