Workflow mapping before software
We start with interviews and matter-path mapping: which stages matter, who reviews what, which templates and playbooks govern drafting, and where attorneys need approval before export or service.
Legal AI software
Legal AI software for small and midsize law firms
Nexum helps small and midsize firms turn matter files into review-ready work product. A dedicated implementation team maps how your matters move, then configures the workbench around your templates, documents, stages, review gates, and approval model.
Evaluate one representative workflow with the working team before rollout. Then a dedicated software engineer and legal workflow support configure Nexum around how your attorneys and staff already practice.
How Nexum configures to your firm
Configure the workflow around your firm's standards.
AI legal workflow automation
After mapping, Nexum configures document review, discovery workspaces, drafting assistance, deadline tracking, and matter intelligence around your firm's vocabulary and supervision rules.
Litigation, transactional, and review workspaces
Litigation teams get case files, discovery, strategy, drafting, med chron, and deadlines. Transactional teams get client-to-matter workspaces, templates, contract review, redlines, and renewal or closing workflows. Document review sits across both.
Attorney review stays central
AI assists with extraction, analysis, and drafting. Attorneys remain in control through review gates, export confirmation, and explicit supervision points before work leaves the firm.
Firm fit
Who Nexum fits — and where it does not
Firm size alone does not decide fit. The practical questions are whether staffing can support a named workflow owner, whether workflow configuration has a concrete target, and whether attorney supervision and rollout decisions are clear.
A practical fit when
Staffing has a workflow owner
A partner, practice lead, or senior staff member can own the pilot while the implementation team handles workflow configuration with the firm.
The work has a repeatable path
The team can point to a matter type, source documents, templates, handoffs, and review points that should work the same way from matter to matter.
Attorney supervision is explicit
A supervising attorney can decide which outputs require review, what can be exported, and which work stays in draft.
Probably not a fit when
The goal is unsupervised legal work
Nexum is designed around attorney review and approval, not autonomous legal judgment or work product that bypasses supervision.
No one can map the current workflow
Configuration needs a firm-side owner who can explain the documents, stages, templates, exceptions, and approval model.
The firm wants a broad rollout before a pilot
The practical path starts with one matter workflow, tests it with the working team, and expands only after the firm approves what it sees.
Implementation and pilot
A concrete path from workflow to pilot
Start narrow enough for the people who do and supervise the work to inspect the configured path before any broader rollout decision.
- 01
Choose one matter workflow
Select a repeatable litigation, transactional, or document-review path with a clear problem and a named firm-side owner.
- 02
Map the current process
Document the people, source materials, templates, stages, handoffs, review gates, and approval decisions the workflow requires.
- 03
Configure templates and review standards
Set up the mapped workflow around the firm’s templates, cited outputs, drafting steps, permissions, and supervision points.
- 04
Validate against realistic matters
Attorneys and staff test the path with representative materials, identify gaps, and confirm where review, revision, and export controls belong.
- 05
Deploy and refine with the firm
The supervising team approves the working path, launches it for real matters, and refines it with Nexum as the firm learns.
Attorney review and supervision
Attorneys stay in control.
Nexum is legal AI for law firms that need supervision, not autopilot. Generated documents, discovery exports, and AI-assisted drafts pass through review gates your firm defines. Partners and supervising attorneys decide what ships, what gets revised, and what stays in draft.
FAQ
Questions firms ask before a pilot
What makes Nexum different from generic AI legal tools?
Nexum focuses on firm-specific workflow configuration. We meet with your firm, map how matters move, and build AI legal workflows around your playbooks instead of asking attorneys to adapt to a one-size-fits-all product.
Is Nexum legal AI software for litigation and transactional teams?
Yes. Nexum supports litigation workflows such as pleadings, discovery, motions, and trial prep, plus transactional workflows such as contract review, diligence, redlines, and closings. Each lane is configured around your firm's stages and review model.
Do attorneys stay in control of AI output?
Yes. Review gates, export confirmation, and supervision checkpoints are part of the workflow design. AI assists with analysis and drafting; attorneys approve what moves forward.
How do we evaluate Nexum against other best legal AI software options?
Start with a workflow conversation. Tell us which matter types, documents, and review steps matter most. We map those first, then show how Nexum would configure document review, discovery, drafting, and matter intelligence around your firm.
