Legal Services.
A law firm or an in-house legal team handles a lot of documents and a lot of deadlines. At SUMāTO we apply AI, automation, and analytics to take the repetitive work off your desk, while keeping careful control of who can see what.
Finding a document, comparing two versions of a contract, or chasing a signature takes hours and calls for no legal judgment. We are a consultancy: we look at how your team works today and hand those tasks to technology, starting with the ones that cost you the most time.
12 ways Legal Services leverages our portfolio.
Contract review
Reads the whole contract and compares it against the model your firm uses. It flags the clauses that differ, the ones missing and the ones that depart from what you usually accept, pointing to the paragraph each sits in. You review what is flagged instead of reading it all again.
Summaries of long case files
From a file of thousands of pages it pulls out the timeline, who is involved and the facts each position rests on. Useful for picking up a case that stalled months ago, or for a colleague to get up to speed without giving it a whole afternoon.
Which matters leave a margin
Cross-references hours spent against what was billed, by type of matter and by client. It shows which work covers its cost and which runs longer than expected, so you can decide what is worth taking on and what should be quoted differently.
Workload and contractual risk
How many matters each lawyer carries and which fall due soon, and what exposure the portfolio accumulates by clause type. It lets you assign with judgment and see where risk concentrates, rather than reviewing contract by contract.
Contracts end to end
The contract moves on its own: whoever needs it requests it through a form, it goes to whoever must review it depending on the amount, it is signed and filed with its expiry recorded. At any moment you know which step it is on and whose desk it is on.
Deadlines, conflicts and billing
Works out due dates using the rules your team defines and warns in advance; cross-checks parties against the portfolio before taking a matter; and assembles billing by matter from recorded time. Every check keeps its date.
Capacity without a server in the office
The document archive and the review tools keep growing, and a law firm should not be running servers. Capacity expands when needed, and backup stops depending on someone verifying it every week.
Who can see each file
Permissions are granted per person and per matter, not per folder, so each lawyer sees only what they are working on. Every consultation is logged with a date: if a client asks who accessed their information, the answer is on record.
The lawyer's desktop anywhere
The lawyer opens their desktop from the office, the court or home, with the same systems and no case file left on the laptop. A lost machine stops being a confidentiality breach and becomes just a lost machine.
Running the firm's systems
Document manager, matter system and email watched continuously, with incident handling and maintenance outside working hours. An outage on a filing deadline is resolved before it becomes a missed deadline.
Putting the firm's technology in order
We define what is modernised, what is integrated and in what phases, with each stage's cost visible and confidentiality as a design criterion. The output is a plan the partners can approve, not a purchase of disconnected tools.
Whether the firm can use AI on its case files
We review how the firm's knowledge is organised, how searchable the case file actually is, and what client confidentiality demands. It ends by saying what can be used now and what should be put in order before touching a client document.
Firm knowledge management
Makes what the firm has already written searchable: templates, opinions and its own precedents. The lawyer starts from what the house has already resolved instead of drafting from scratch what a colleague did two years ago.
Enforceable confidentiality and privilege
Professional privilege is upheld by demonstrating who could see each file, not by asserting it. Access is tied to the matter and the assigned team, with a queryable record of every look at a client document.
