Master spend management with LawVu webinar

In case you missed it, we recently hosted the Master Spend Management with LawVu webinar, showing key spend management capabilities, best practices and valuable new features recently shipped.


InView Community news

Our recent InView Connect conference in Sydney was a huge success! There’s nothing better than getting our community together in person for a day of learning, sharing and connecting. This year, we debated the future of in-house legal amidst the advancement of AI, explored topics from legal leadership to the evolving impact of technology on showcasing our value, and took part in workshops on legal ops, how to prepare your team for AI and more.

We’ve already started to dream up what next year's conference will look like – so watch this space, as details on our 2025 conferences will be coming soon.

If you would like to attend our 2025 London conference, you can register your interest now.

Easily manage Spend totals from the matter invoice tab

For better accuracy and visibility in budgeting, you have the option to adjust the displayed value in Matter invoice totals on the Matter invoice grid. This adjustment allows you to include or exclude Tax and Disbursements from the total value displayed.

Follow these easy steps to adjust the values shown in your invoice totals according to your preferences:

  • Navigate to Settings.

  • Go to Company Information.

  • Use the toggle switches to include or exclude Tax and Disbursements.


Access your last viewed grid view with a single click

If you're a legal user with saved grid views, you probably have a favorite or one that's especially useful at certain times. Did you know that simply clicking the Matters icon will return you to the last grid view you accessed? There's no need to use the fly-out menu to navigate to All Matters or My Matters - just click the briefcase icon on the left hand navigation, and you'll be back to your previously viewed grid view. This also applies to Contracts. Click the signature icon to return to the last contracts grid view you were using.

AI for in-house legal: A practical guide to adoption

AI is here to stay and offers significant benefits for legal teams who need to increase efficiency, manage risk, and control costs. But with so much noise out there, it's tough to know where to begin. We’ve just published a comprehensive guide to help you understand the benefits of AI for in-house legal teams and guide you through four practical steps to successfully evaluate, implement and adopt the right AI tools in your legal technology buying journey.
