Looking For An Alternative?
Many corporate legal teams adopt Cubed by Law Squared because it is built on Microsoft 365 and offers a familiar environment. As legal teams grow, however, they often require more advanced workflow automation, stakeholder collaboration, reporting and legal operations capabilities.

If you are considering an alternative to Cubed, this guide explains what to look for in a modern legal operations platform, how to approach migration and what capabilities organisations commonly seek when replacing Microsoft-based legal management solutions.

Why Organisations Are Moving From Cubed
As legal teams take on more work and face greater expectations from the business, many are looking for platforms that provide stronger automation, sophisticated reporting and an intuitive user experience.
Customized Notifications
Automated Workflow Notifications
Timely notifications are critical for legal work. Many organisations want automated notifications when new matters are submitted, tasks are assigned, approvals are required or deadlines change. Without proactive notifications, matters can remain unnoticed, increasing operational risk for time-sensitive legal work.
OnBoarding
Keeping Business Stakeholders Informed
Business teams increasingly expect visibility into the legal work they have requested. Modern legal operations platforms allow stakeholders to submit requests, check progress and receive automated updates without needing to email the legal team for status reports.

Flexibility
Intuitive User Experience
User adoption depends on simplicity. Legal teams and their internal stakeholders increasingly look for intuitive interfaces that reduce clicks, simplify navigation and make common tasks quicker for lawyers, business users and external legal providers.



Customizable Data Fields
Regulatory Deadline Management
Many legal teams now manage Freedom of Information requests, Right to Information matters, privacy requests, regulatory investigations and other statutory processes. Modern legal operations platforms can automatically calculate regulatory deadlines, generate tasks, send alerts and maintain a complete audit trail.
Automate Workflows
Greater Automation
As legal workloads increase, teams look to automate intake, approvals, reminders, document generation, reporting and legal spend management to reduce administration and improve consistency.





reporting
Sophisticated Reporting
Legal leaders need timely visibility into matter volumes, turnaround times, legal spend, workloads and regulatory deadlines. Modern legal operations platforms provide configurable dashboards and real-time reporting that help teams identify trends, manage resources and communicate performance more effectively.


What Is Legal Document Management?
When Microsoft 365 Alone Is No Longer Enough
Microsoft 365 provides an excellent collaboration platform and is readily available across the enterprise, however many legal teams discover they require functionality specifically designed for the legal function. Legal specific requirements often include the demands for confidentiality, legal professional privilege, access controls, external counsel or managing legal budgets and matters.

Rather than adapting general collaboration tools, organisations increasingly seek platforms purpose-built for managing legal matters, legal workflows, legal spend, external counsel, statutory deadlines and AI capabilities within a secure system of record.
