Legal software, often referred to as Legal Tech, is a category of technology designed to simplify, streamline, and automate legal processes for businesses. These tools make legal tasks more accessible and affordable, particularly for companies without a dedicated in-house legal team. A primary function is contract lifecycle management, which includes generating contracts from pre-approved templates (like NDAs or service agreements), managing negotiations, facilitating secure e-signatures, and storing executed documents in a centralized, searchable repository. This ensures consistency and compliance while dramatically speeding up the sales and hiring cycles. Other features may include tools for managing corporate governance, tracking regulatory compliance, or providing a secure data room for due diligence. By digitizing these workflows, legal software minimizes risk, reduces reliance on expensive legal counsel for routine tasks, and enhances operational efficiency.
