Legal operations, coordinated.

Matter intake, conflict checks, document classification, time capture, and approval routing inside the firm.

One new matter touches four systems and three inboxes before the engagement letter goes out.

Clio or MyCase for practice management. iManage or NetDocuments for the documents. Outlook for the decisions, and a time and billing system nobody updates in real time. The tools are fine. The coordination between them is where billable hours leak.

The operating model

Every record enters once. The layer does the walking.

Today each of these systems is wired to the others by a person: re-keying, forwarding, chasing. Navon sits underneath as one coordination layer. A matter inquiry, a pleading, or a time entry enters once, routes itself, and lands in the system that owns it, with the hand-offs logged.

Your systems stay. The re-keying goes.

How the matter moves

The matter lifecycle.

Inquiry to invoice. Five stages that today sit in five systems, owned by five people, updated by hand.

With Navon, one record carries the matter end to end. This is where we start.

Advisory-led

What an engagement deploys in legal.

An operational audit comes first. From the findings, we deploy a scoped mix built for how the firm runs: routed intake, automations, and managed AI agents, each working inside an approval path.

  • Intake from email, web form, or referral; clients and staff install nothing
  • A scoped mix of automations, routed intake, and managed agents, each with a named owner
  • Clio, MyCase, iManage, and NetDocuments stay the systems of record

Advisory engagements are live across legal operations today. The platform extends here by design.

Where automation lands

Six workflows we automate first.

Identified by the teams running the work today. Each one replaces something a person is doing manually. We build them as discrete engagements, in priority order. Pick one to see it as it runs.

Matter intake routing

New matter inquiries arrive via email, web form, and referrals. Navon classifies the practice area, runs the initial conflict screen, and routes to the responsible partner with the relevant context attached.

Where Navon fits

Advisory leads. Automations do the work. The platform hosts it.

For legal specifically, here is what each practice line looks like.

Advisory

We start inside the matter flow.

Time with partners, paralegals, and the firm administrator. Walk-throughs of intake, conflict screening, document filing, time capture, and approval chains. Written findings, phased plan, ethics review, partner sign-off before anything gets built.

AI automations & agents

Intake, classification, capture.

Matter intake routing. Conflict pre-screening. Document classification across pleadings, contracts, discovery, and correspondence. Time capture from email and calendar. Each one scoped discretely, sequenced by what moves the most billable time back into the day. Where the work justifies it, managed agents carry a flow end to end, always inside an approval path with a named owner.

Platform

The layer it grows into.

As the automations compound, the platform consolidates them into one governed layer: matters, documents, time entries, approvals, and conflict records in one place with structured ownership, and Nova, the operations assistant, working inside it. It is live in construction operations today and architected to extend here. Runs in your cloud, your VPC, or fully local. Your existing systems stay.

FAQ

Legal-specific questions.

The operational questions law firm buyers ask before the first call.

How do you handle privilege and confidentiality?

Privilege boundaries are mapped during the audit phase on every engagement. Matter data is segregated by matter and by access role in any deployment scope. We work with your information security and ethics partners to confirm the design honors privilege and confidentiality obligations before anything ships.

Does this replace our practice management system?

No. Clio, MyCase, NetDocuments, iManage stay as systems of record for matters and documents. Navon sits alongside them and removes the coordination work between matter intake, document filing, time capture, and partner approvals that lives in email today.

Can it actually run conflict checks reliably?

The automations run the initial screen across your existing matter and contact lists and surface hits with source records linked. They do not replace the conflicts attorney's final clearance. The goal is to remove the lookup work, not the legal judgment.

What about document retention and discovery obligations?

Retention schedules and litigation holds are part of the deployment scope. The platform records every classification, filing, and access event against the matter so the audit trail is intact when it is needed. Specific retention rules are configured per practice area during advisory.

What does the first engagement usually look like?

An operational audit. We spend time with partners, paralegals, and the firm administrator. Walk through matter intake, the conflict process, document filing, and time capture. At the end you get written findings and a phased plan for what to automate first. Usually two to three weeks.

Where does our data live?

Wherever it has to. Clio, MyCase, iManage, and NetDocuments stay the systems of record where they are today, and privilege-sensitive material never leaves your environment. The Navon layer runs in your cloud, in your VPC, or fully local, depending on your requirements, and that is decided during the evaluation, not retrofitted later.
