Contacts Module

From Fragmented Data to a Unified Map of Entities, Parties, and Legal Relationships

Legal Affairs deals with the parent company, subsidiaries, branches, staff from different departments, counterparties, experts, official bodies, external law firms, consultants, and service providers. When party data is spread across separate files, it becomes difficult to understand the relationship between the party, legal entity, and the associated file, contract, or case.

LAWMAX’s Contacts Module organizes data for people, organizations, and entities that Legal Affairs deals with and links each party to its place in the corporate structure or legal relationship with a file. Users can also be linked to departments or subsidiaries according to the approved structure and permissions when these settings are enabled within project scope.
