Transform the way you work

Transform the way you work

As your organisation scales, it’s tough to keep track of hundreds of matters across multiple systems, while managing the needs of different internal teams and external partners.

  • Are you currently switching between systems to understand what’s going on?
  • Are all your emails and documents synced to your matters?
  • Do you struggle to stay on top of deadlines?
  • Do the right people have access to the information they need to get the job done?

If any of the above sounds familiar, our solution can help. It lets your legal team or law firm take control, with greater visibility of your workload, connectivity between matters, and improved communication across your team.

Transparency

Transparency

Get complete oversight of everything that matters, from who’s involved to what’s happening when and all the latest updates. Leverage reporting capabilities to stay on top of deadlines and keep stakeholders informed.

Connectivity

Connectivity

Join the dots by linking related things together to get a clearer picture. And make sure all the right people, companies, and tags are connected to each case for a true network of all your activity.

Communication

Communication

Keep everyone in the loop with our comprehensive suite of built-in communication tools. You get instant messaging, status memos, email integration, and notifications, so you never forget tasks, miss deadlines, or have to context switch to find out more. And you always stay in control.

Organisation

Organisation

Forget switching tools and searching through email chains for documents. We give you all the information you need, right where you want it. Clearly organised, easy to filter and find what you need, so you can get on with what you do best.

Workflows

Workflows

Built in workflows, automations, and template documents help drive efficiency and consistency in your team. And we’re with you every step of the way, learning how you like to work and showing you how to supercharge your efforts.

We’ve designed our intangible asset management platform to be as simple to use as possible. It’s super flexible too – when you get set up, we configure the system to work just the way you want it. Our platform is built by people who understand the challenges – we can help you find the right solution.

Dashboard
This is where you can view your recently accessed records and legal matters, get an overview of team deadlines and messages, and check your own to-do list. We can customise the look and feel of your dashboard to match your brand, so it feels like home.

Tasks
All your deadlines and reminders in one place. Whether that’s a deadline to file evidence or a reminder to make sure you do it. Add and assign tasks to yourself or others, search tasks by responsibility, due date, or task status, and set up automatic emails of your daily deadline list so you never miss a date. 

Events
This is where you can build a timeline of key events for each matter, like a contract start date or registration date. You can see all your events in one place in this tab or switch to a specific matter to see its individual timeline. With events set, you can trigger task automations, like creating a deadline a set number of days after an event has occurred. 

Contacts
Manage all your contacts in a connected way, from owners and opponents to internal team members and external counsel. We connect every single contact to all related matters so you always know who to ask when something comes up.
Think of it as the ultimate address book where you can search using filters, find out who’s connected to what cases, and automate emails and notifications. You can also add tags, set up legal owners automatically, and group issues by contact type, making reporting a breeze.

Matters
The ‘Matters’ tab is where you can find existing matters and set up new ones. There’s also the ability to generate, export, and schedule reports based on your chosen parameters and filters.
At Obviously, your matters can be anything, including trademark and patent registrations, settlement agreements, domain names, customs seizures, investigations, litigation, and disputes. Our platform is made-to-measure. This means if you have a special way of keeping track of clearance searches or managing licensees, we can set up the system to suit your needs.

Budget and billing
We support law firms and in-house teams to manage and track all things financial. Use Obviously Manage to align with your accounts payable people, rather than constantly cross-referencing between multiple systems.

Stay in touch
Use ‘Talk to your team’ to message instantly right in the platform or use the email browser to write to external counsel and get the updates you need. And with ‘Zoning’ you can set up teams and collaborators to make sure the right people have access to the right information.

Documents
Any documents attached or received via email or instant message will be automatically saved to the relevant documents folder for that matter. You can control who has access to these folders too.

Status memos
Use this feature to give or receive quick updates of what’s going on. These can be private, for your eyes only, or shared with your team and outside counsel. These status memos will stay connected with your matters, meaning you can export them as part of your reporting too.
