Our take
Managing legal operations can be a complicated matter, requiring expensive consultation, repetitive processes, and antiquated legal software. Whilst more modern legal software solutions make use of AI to automate some processes, these usually specialize in a specific area, leading legal departments and firms to juggle a convoluted stack of fragmented legal software tools.
Brightflag provides an all-in-one cloud-based legal operation management platform for the management of legal matters and requests, as well as invoicing, reporting, accruals and documents. The software leverages AI to provide intelligent insights on spending and legal management, whilst also capturing requests, providing human-interrupted legal expertise, and using AI-driven automated workflows to save time and money.
Whilst legal operation management software is not a unique concept, Brightflag has taken a unique position by integrating all necessary legal operation management tools into a single platform, preventing the need for convoluted software stacks. The company continues to innovate, adding more advanced AI capabilities to the platform, and has gained recognition as a leader in the space.
