Legal case management software

Every case, from opening to closure.

Legal case management software built around the matter: parties, issues, court dates, filings, documents, and deadlines, with an audit trail on every action and AI that reads the file alongside you.

The case file

One record that holds the whole matter.

A case is not a folder. It is a set of parties, a procedural history, a schedule that moves, and a body of documents that must stay consistent. ModulawAI models each of those explicitly, so nothing depends on someone remembering where they filed it.

Parties and roles

Clients, opposing parties, counsel, experts, and witnesses, each linked to the matter with their own contact history.

Deadlines and court dates

Hearings, filing windows, and limitation dates monitored continuously, with reminders that escalate if nothing happens.

Documents and versions

Pleadings, evidence, and correspondence with version history, secure sharing, and a record of who opened what.

Tasks and delegation

Work assigned with priority and due dates, visible to the supervising partner without asking for an update.

In depth

What AI changes about a case file.

Bulk review

Ask one question across two hundred documents.

Tabular review puts the documents down the rows and your questions across the columns, then fills the grid with cited answers. Governing law, termination rights, indemnity caps, notice periods, extracted across an entire disclosure bundle rather than one file at a time. Every cell links back to the passage it came from.

Case watchers

Agents that check the file when nobody is looking.

Background agents run against your matters on a schedule: flagging a deadline nobody has actioned, noticing a contract clause that conflicts with an earlier one, or summarising what moved on a case this week. They raise the issue in the matter, not in a separate inbox. See workflows and agents.

Research in the file

Authority attached to the matter it supports.

When research happens inside the case rather than in a separate database, the authority you relied on stays with the argument it supports, the time is captured against the matter, and the associate who picks the file up in six months can see why you took the position you did.

FAQ

Questions, addressed.

What is legal case management software?

Legal case management software organises everything attached to a single legal matter: the parties, the procedural history, court dates and deadlines, documents and evidence, tasks, notes, and the time recorded against it. It is the operational record of how a case was run, and it is what firms rely on when a file changes hands.

How does it differ from document management?

Document management stores files. Case management stores the matter, of which documents are one part alongside parties, deadlines, tasks, billing, and correspondence. ModulawAI includes document management inside case management rather than as a separate system.

Can it monitor limitation periods and court deadlines?

Yes. Deadlines are tracked against each matter with configurable reminder cadences, and unactioned deadlines escalate to a supervising fee earner rather than expiring quietly.

Does it support litigation and transactional matters?

Yes. Matter types are configurable with their own custom fields and stages, so a litigation file, a corporate transaction, and a conveyance each behave the way that work actually behaves.

Can we import our existing case files?

Yes. Matters, parties, and documents import from CSV, Excel, and common practice management exports as part of onboarding.
