For in-house legal and compliance teams: controlled access, unambiguous versions, enforceable holds, and attestation coverage you can see.
Matter files live across email, folders, and personal drives.
Contract versions multiply; the signed one is a hunt.
Policy acknowledgments tracked in spreadsheets and reminders.
Privileged material protected by folder names, not rules.
· Product recreation based on live NILARA workflows.
Every step has an owner, a record, and a seal — so the evidence package assembles itself.
| Step | Owner | What’s recorded | Sealed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Document filed | Matter owner | Version linked to the matter | Draft versioned |
| Review | Supervising lawyer | Redlines & comments on the record | Review recorded |
| Approval / sign-off | Partner | Sign-off on a defined route | Bound to identity & time |
| Confidentiality | Administrators | Access limited to the matter team | Access enforced by role |
| Retention | Records | Retention rule applied to the record | Retention scheduled |
| Evidence export | Compliance | Complete, ordered matter history | Package exported |
Role-based, privilege-aware access; versions preserved and comparable; legal hold that actually prevents disposal; executed copies sealed.

Reviewed and revised; every version kept.
Business and legal approve on the record.
Signed copy sealed; obligations tracked.

Every step above is owned, timed, and sealed to the record — these are the workflows we model with you in week one.

No ambiguity about what was signed.
Preservation enforced by the system and provable.
Who has and hasn’t confirmed, in real time.
Decisions, documents, and deadlines in one record.
External sharing that stays on the record.
Run these in your evaluation — they’re the moments where governed and “governed” differ.
Of any contract, in seconds — with the negotiation history intact.
Confirm a non-privileged role cannot open, search, or infer held material.
Verify disposal is actually blocked and custodian acknowledgment is tracked.
Publish, assign, and watch coverage — no spreadsheet.
External access that stays on the record, with expiry.
Access is rule-based per record and role; privileged classes are invisible — not just locked — to roles without rights, and every access decision is logged.
Yes — external roles with scoped, expiring access, watermarked copies where required, all on the record.
For many teams, yes for approval and record-of-execution; where a CLM stays, NILARA holds the governed record and connects to it.
We’ll model your intake-to-execution path — with the version and approval record your team deserves.
