Book A Demo

Arrange a guided walkthrough of document assembly, matter flow and review tools for your firm. The session covers practical setup points for South African legal teams working across matters, templates and evidence.

What the demo covers in practice

This walkthrough is built around the way a busy firm works in Sandton, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban or Bloemfontein. We look at matter intake, document assembly, review queues and the controls that keep files organised when several people touch the same matter.

The session also shows how templates can be set up for cleaner drafting, how matter stages can be mapped to your internal process, and how evidence can be grouped for review without leaving it scattered across shared drives. POPIA aware handling and access control are covered in general terms, with the focus on practical day to day use.

How to set up the session

Use the enquiry form on our contact page and include the firm name, the city or branch area, and the modules you want to see. It helps to mention whether the team wants a broader overview or a more detailed look at templates, permissions, hosting or evidence workflows.

  • Tell us how many users will attend.
  • List the practice areas that need templates.
  • Share any current file handling pain points.
  • Note if you want operational or admin staff included.

If the firm has a mixed setup, such as attorneys in Johannesburg and support staff in Centurion or Rosebank, that can be reflected in the session so the flow makes sense for each role.

A guided path through the screens

The demo opens with matter management, then moves into templates and review queues so the team can see how each part connects. We keep the walkthrough practical, showing where a matter is created, how documents are assembled, and how users find evidence or notes later on.

There is space to ask about permissions, audit trails, version control and secure access for different roles. That matters when a firm wants attorneys, paralegals and operations staff to work in the same system without stepping on each other’s files or seeing more than they should.

If your team needs a fuller technical view

Some firms want more than a product walk-through. In those cases, the session can include secure hosting setup, data migration planning, template builds, workflow configuration and evidence imports. That is often useful where a firm is moving from a patchwork of folders, message trails and manual trackers.

  • Data migration planning for existing matter records.
  • Template builds for common documents and repeats.
  • Workflow configuration for matter stages and handovers.
  • Permissions setup for role-based access.
  • Evidence imports and searchable review structures.

If your team works with heavier file volumes or sensitive documents, the security discussion can include how access is separated and how records are kept organised for internal control.

Who usually sits in on the booking

The strongest sessions usually include a mix of users rather than just one person. Attorneys often want to see the drafting flow, while paralegals focus on the steps that reduce manual rework. Practice managers and ops teams usually want to see how matters move, how approvals are handled and what administration looks like once the system is in use.

For firms with multiple offices, the booking can be shaped around the branch that carries the heaviest workload. A central team in Sandton may want one view, while a Pretoria or Durban office may need a different emphasis on review queues, evidence handling or document control.

What happens after the walkthrough

After the session, firms often use the notes to decide which modules fit their current process and which ones need adjustment before rollout. That may include template refinement, user permissions, matter stage mapping or a tighter evidence structure for litigation work.

For teams that are ready to move ahead, the next practical steps usually involve implementation planning, training, admin setup and any cleanup needed before matters are loaded. The aim is to keep the system steady for daily use, not to overload the firm with features it will not use.

Questions we get asked

Can the demo be shaped around our firm size?

Yes. The walkthrough can be adapted for a small practice, a multi-office firm or a larger team with separate legal and admin roles.

Do we need to prepare documents before booking?

It helps to have a few sample matters, common document types and a short note on your current workflow so the session matches real use.

Can the demo cover both legal users and operations staff?

Yes. The session can include both groups so document drafting, matter handling and admin control are seen together.
