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 that are 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.
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 it is filed with its expiry date recorded. At any moment you know which step it is on and whose desk it is on.
Deadline alerts
It works out the due dates using the rules your team defines — working days, local holidays, terms that are suspended — and warns you in advance by email or in the calendar they already use. Every alert is logged, so follow-up does not depend on someone remembering.
Conflict checks
Before taking on a matter, it cross-checks the parties involved against your client portfolio and against closed matters, and flags any conflict or relationship worth reviewing. The check is recorded, which is what you will be asked for if anyone questions it.
Which matters leave a margin
It 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 continuing to take on and what should be quoted differently.
How much work each person has
How many matters each lawyer is carrying, what stage they are at, and which fall due soon. It lets you assign new work with judgment, see who is overloaded before it shows up in the deadlines, and back a hiring decision with figures.
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 has had access to their information, the answer is on record.
Finding any document
Search by what the document says — a clause, a name, an amount — even if you do not remember which folder it ended up in or what it was called. The result tells you which matter it belongs to and which version it appears in, scanned documents included.
Templates and clauses kept current
A single library holding the templates and clauses the firm has approved, so everyone drafts from the latest version. When a clause changes it is updated in one place, and the two-year-old version stops circulating by email.
First contact with new clients
It takes the details from whoever gets in touch, by phone, email, or web: what has happened, which deadlines are already running, and what documentation they hold. It hands them to the lawyer in order and classified by area, so the first real conversation starts with context.
Answers for clients at any hour
It answers the questions that keep coming up — how is my matter going, which document is missing, when is the next date — by consulting the actual file. When a question calls for judgment, it stops answering and alerts the lawyer with the context of the conversation.
