Case Management For Lawyers and Legal Teams

Lexkeep case management allows you to organize cases and manage case files with ease

Lexkeep case management helps lawyers and legal teams organise and track legal cases in one place. Manage matters, monitor deadlines, assign tasks, store documents and evidence, and keep case activity connected in a secure system built for legal work.

For law firms and in-house legal teams, case management is not only about staying organised. It is about maintaining visibility across active matters, keeping deadlines under control, tracking progress, and making sure documents, evidence, and collaboration stay connected to the right case.

Many legal teams still rely on email threads, spreadsheets, shared drives, and disconnected calendars to manage cases. That often makes it harder to track what has been done, what is due next, who is responsible, and where the latest case records are stored. As caseloads grow, those gaps become harder to manage.

Lexkeep helps solve this with structured legal case management that supports case tracking, task management, deadline visibility, secure collaboration, and matter-linked document organisation.

Legal teams need a clear way to manage active matters without switching between multiple tools. Lexkeep gives lawyers a central place to organise case records, documents, evidence, participants, and next steps.

With Lexkeep, teams can:

  • create and manage legal cases in a structured system
  • keep documents, evidence, and updates linked to the right matter
  • maintain better visibility across active cases
  • reduce reliance on scattered folders and disconnected tools
  • support more consistent legal workflows across the team

This helps firms and legal departments organise and track legal cases in one place instead of reconstructing matter history across inboxes and shared drives.

Track deadlines, hearings, and next steps

Missed deadlines can create serious legal and operational risk. Lexkeep helps legal teams keep track of important dates across matters, including hearings, filing deadlines, internal review dates, and follow-up actions.

Instead of relying on manual reminders or separate calendars, teams can maintain better oversight of upcoming obligations and case milestones in one system.

This is especially useful for:

  • litigation deadlines
  • hearing schedules
  • filing dates
  • internal legal reviews
  • follow-up actions on active matters

By keeping deadlines and case activity visible, Lexkeep helps legal teams stay prepared and reduce avoidable mistakes.

Case management also requires clear ownership of work. Lexkeep helps legal teams assign tasks, track responsibilities, and monitor progress across matters.

This makes it easier to:

  • assign work to lawyers and support staff
  • track legal task progress across active cases
  • reduce confusion over ownership and next steps
  • improve accountability across the team
  • keep work moving as matters evolve

For firms handling multiple active matters, task visibility is essential to maintaining momentum and avoiding bottlenecks.

Keep documents and evidence connected to each case

A legal case is more than a list of tasks and dates. It also involves pleadings, correspondence, agreements, exhibits, audio, video, and other records that need to stay connected to the matter.

Lexkeep helps legal teams keep case documents and evidence organised within the same system used to manage the case itself. This improves visibility and reduces the risk of losing context when documents are stored separately from case activity.

Teams can use Lexkeep to:

  • organise case files by matter
  • keep evidence linked to the relevant case
  • maintain a clearer record of updates and activity
  • support more reliable retrieval of documents when needed

This is especially important in evidence-heavy matters where records may later need to be reviewed, disclosed, or challenged.

Improve visibility across active matters

As caseloads grow, legal teams need a better way to see what is happening across multiple matters. Lexkeep helps lawyers maintain oversight of case activity, deadlines, tasks, and records without relying on fragmented systems.

This supports:

  • better matter oversight
  • clearer case progress tracking
  • improved coordination across legal teams
  • more consistent handling of active matters

For law firms and in-house legal teams, this kind of visibility helps reduce operational friction and improve day-to-day case management.

Legal work often involves collaboration across lawyers, internal staff, clients, co-counsel, experts, and other stakeholders. Lexkeep supports secure collaboration by keeping case-related records, activity, and access controls within one system.

This helps teams collaborate more effectively while maintaining better control over who can access what.

Audit trails and access control for sensitive cases

Case management is stronger when teams can show how records were handled over time. Lexkeep supports auditability and controlled access across legal matters, helping teams maintain a clearer record of uploads, sharing, updates, and other key activity.

For sensitive or evidence-heavy matters, this can support stronger internal control and more defensible record handling.

Lexkeep Case Management is designed for lawyers and legal teams that need more than a generic task tool or shared drive. It combines legal case tracking, task management, deadline visibility, secure collaboration, and matter-linked document organisation in one platform.

For teams looking for a more reliable way to manage legal cases, Lexkeep provides a structured system for keeping work organised, visible, and easier to control.

FAQ

What is legal case management software?

Legal case management software helps law firms organize matters, manage documents and evidence, track deadlines, assign tasks, and collaborate securely across a case team.

How does Lexkeep case management work?

When you create a case in Lexkeep, a Cohort (the matter-based workspace) is automatically created for that case. For non-contentious or general matters, you can simply create a Cohort directly and manage files and collaboration there.

Can I create a separate workspace for each matter?

Yes. You can create a Cohort per dispute, transaction, investigation, or practice group to keep files and permissions separated.

Can I invite clients, co-counsel, or experts to a case or matter?

Yes. You can invite internal staff and external collaborators and control what each person can view, upload, or manage within the case or matter Cohort.

What permissions does Lexkeep support?

Lexkeep supports three core roles: Viewer, Editor, and Admin—so you can control who can view files, upload and organize evidence, or manage the Cohort and its members.

Does Lexkeep track who accessed or shared a file?

Yes. Lexkeep maintains audit trails and activity logs so you can show who did what, when, across a matter.

Can Lexkeep manage audio and video evidence for a case?

Yes. Lexkeep supports documents, images, audio, and video files, with secure storage and integrity verification for evidence-heavy matters.
