Optimize how your legal team manages email with LawVu

Email works well for communication but falls short when it comes to storing and managing legal work. Conversations sit across individual inboxes, attachments get buried, and there’s no shared visibility across your team. Finding past communication often means asking around or starting another email thread. And this is assuming you even know the conversation exists.

For in-house legal teams handling high volumes of complex work, this unsystematic approach creates real risk. Work is fragmented, context is lost, and time is wasted chasing information instead of progressing matters.

“Why is it that every other function – sales, marketing and finance – has such great tech to drive efficiency and transform service delivery but the legal team might just get given email and a notebook. You can’t produce much at scale with that.”  Seshani Bala, KPMG

The reality of email for in-house legal

Legal teams are constantly managing a high volume of emails, often with limited visibility into what others are working on. Without a centralized system, this leads to:

• Email overload: Important conversations and files are hard to find and reuse
• Poor organization: Emails and attachments are scattered across inboxes
• Limited visibility: No clear view of matters, progress, or ownership
• Manual processes: Filing and tracking emails is time-consuming and duplicative

Bringing email into your legal system of record

LawVu integrates with your email to capture, track, and centralize important conversations and attachments in one place. Instead of living in inboxes, emails become part of your shared legal workspace – organized, accessible, and connected to the work they relate to.

This gives your team:

• Centralized records: A secure, real-time view of relevant emails and files
• Shared visibility: Clear understanding of who is working on what
• Reduced duplication: No need to re-save or re-send information
• Better context: Conversations are linked to matters and contracts
• Faster access to information: Easy to find and reuse past work

Before LawVu, there was a significant risk around documentation – it was scattered throughout emails. I now have a much more robust record of what’s happening, and LawVu has reduced our exposure for not having complete matters.” Andrew Hay – Head of Operations, Legal & Secretariat – Co-op

Working seamlessly in Microsoft Outlook and Gmail

LawVu’s Outlook and Gmail add-ins bring your legal workspace directly into your inbox, so you can manage email alongside your legal work without switching tools.

Your team can:

• Save emails and attachments directly to matters or contracts
• Track conversations so future replies are captured automatically
• Create new matters or contracts from incoming emails
• Maintain a complete, shared record of communication across the team

The result is a consistent way to manage email across your team, while keeping all relevant information connected to your legal work.

Turn email into a structured, shared asset

“What ends up happening if you’re just using Outlook, or if you don’t have a centralized approach, is there’s no visibility across the team as in who is working on what, what’s going on, and how much time you’re spending on issues. LawVu has genuinely allowed us to have more visibility across the team and to manage the steady flood of issues that pop up in a corporation in an organized way.” Scott Millea – General Counsel at Northern Tool

Centralizing email management gives legal teams a clear, shared view of their work – what’s happening, where things stand, and who’s involved. Instead of inboxes acting as silos, email becomes part of a connected system that supports how legal teams track, manage, and deliver work together.
