Legal Matter Management or Matter Management is comprehensive project management of legal matters within an in-house legal department. Matter management software systems help corporate and government legal departments and their staff manage the day-to-day complexities involved in managing legal matters. This includes tracking People, Issues, Documents, Budgets and Invoices associated with each particular legal matter. These systems can help manage in-house staffs as well as outside counsel law firms and other legal service providers. Matter management systems provide excellent communication and collaboration platforms to organize and distribute information.
These systems involve the processing and storage of confidential and privileged legal matter data, and major considerations may include:
- Level of customization
- Installation behind corporate security and firewalls
- Hosting as an Internet-based ASP application
- Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA security and audit compliance mandates.
