Delivering measurable value
Lawcadia captures data and efficiently controls the process through each stage of the
procurement lifecycle.
Logic-based legal procurement
Introduce workflow automation and machine logic to the way the entire organisation procures legal services to ensure consistent processes, excellent instructions, and compliance with internal procurement policies.
Instructions & engagement
A streamlined process ensures provision of appropriate instructions, conflict checks, scope of work and budget agreed upfront, a structure for managing alternative fee arrangements, ensuring the right firm is engaged for the right matter every time.
Managing scope changes
Create clear boundaries around what is in and out of scope, including identification of assumptions, control scope creep, track and manage change requests, and establish efficient approval processes prior to the completion of work.
Matter RFPs & tenders
Utilise built-in RFP workflows to leverage competitive tension and demonstrate value by briefing a selection of your panel firms for selected matters. Visual comparison tables, customised questions, and messaging capability makes it easy to use.
Customised approvals
Maintain oversight of the legal function through custom approval workflows mapped to your unique business rules and internal approval criteria, such as work allocation, law firm engagement, change of budget, invoice approvals and more.
Spend management
Forget Excel spreadsheets and manage your legal spend by automatically tracking invoices, actual spend, forecast spend and work-in-progress, monitor budget creep, and track and manage change requests in the one central and secure location.
Law firm management
Build strategic relationships with data driven insights that inform how the organisation is instructing law firms, how law firms are performing and adhering to billing guidelines, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and consistency.
Reporting & analytics
With customiseable reporting options on external spend and law firms behaviour, legal departments can easily gain insight into provider relationships and performance with detailed quantitative and qualitative data analytics.
