Description

Legal workflow automation is becoming a core driver of transformation within corporate law departments, particularly across the United States and Europe. Rising operational demands, expanding regulatory obligations, and sustained pressure to increase efficiency are accelerating the adoption of platforms that streamline matter management, contract workflows, billing processes, and risk detection. Advances in artificial intelligence—ranging from automated contract analysis and generative drafting to predictive analytics for spend and workload—are amplifying these gains. At the same time, no-code workflow tools are empowering legal operations teams to digitise and optimise processes independently, reducing reliance on IT and enabling faster, more consistent delivery of legal services.

The market landscape continues to evolve as integrated enterprise legal management providers such as Onit and Mitratech compete alongside specialised leaders including Litera, Ironclad, and Icertis. Strong market fundamentals support continued growth through 2030, fuelled by expanding legal tech budgets, the onboarding of late adopters, and increasing convergence between legal, compliance, and risk functions. Consolidation through acquisitions is accelerating as vendors broaden their capabilities, while emerging regulations—especially in AI governance, data privacy, and cloud residency—shape platform design and deployment. Collectively, these forces position workflow automation as a strategic enabler for more data-driven, scalable, and risk-aware legal departments in the decade ahead.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
