ABOUT

Built for the firms that
actually practise law.

Every law firm runs on a practice management system. These systems store data. They don't think. MatterLayer changes that. We connect to your PMS, pull every piece of matter data, and run AI across all of it — continuously, autonomously, 24/7.

The problem

Lawyers spend 60% of their day on work that doesn't require legal judgement. Filing. Chasing. Checking. Formatting. Billing. The practice management system holds the data but does nothing with it. Partners know there's a better way — they just haven't seen it built yet.

Our answer

The system does everything. The lawyer applies judgement. Twelve layers work across your entire portfolio — Matter Layer for risk scoring, Billing Layer for revenue capture, Document Layer for intelligent review, Workflow Layer for automation, People Layer for resource intelligence, Client Layer for relationship intelligence, Compliance Layer for regulatory obligations, Knowledge Layer for institutional memory, Intake Layer for enquiry-to-matter automation, Reporting Layer for live analytics, Capture Layer for voice-to-matter transcription, and Email Layer for AI-powered correspondence. It surfaces only the moments where human judgement is irreplaceable. Your day is decisions and high-end input. Nothing else.

THE PLATFORM

Twelve layers. One system.

Each layer works autonomously across your entire portfolio. Together, they replace the admin, the chasing, the checking — and surface only the decisions that need your brain.

Matter Layer

Continuous risk scoring and portfolio intelligence across every open matter.

Billing Layer

Automated invoicing, revenue leakage detection, and billing anomaly alerts.

Document Layer

AI-powered document review, clause extraction, and intelligent filing.

Workflow Layer

Natural language workflow automation with deadline tracking and escalation.

Email Layer

AI reads, drafts, and routes correspondence. You review and send.

Capture Layer

Voice-to-matter transcription, task extraction, and automatic time capture.

People Layer

Team capacity scanning, smart matter assignment, and burnout detection.

Client Layer

Auto-built CRM from matter data. Relationship mapping and revenue intelligence.

Compliance Layer

Trust account compliance, CPD tracking, file reviews, retention policies, and AML/KYC verification.

Knowledge Layer

Institutional memory from historical matters. Precedent search, counsel history, outcome tracking.

Intake Layer

Enquiry to open matter — zero admin. Conflict check, costs agreement, engagement letter, PMS opening.

Reporting Layer

Real-time analytics with natural language queries. Ask a question, get a report.

PRINCIPLES

What we believe.

Systems should work, not wait

Your practice management system holds data. MatterLayer makes that data think. Continuously. Autonomously. Without being asked.

Lawyers should decide, not administrate

Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent on the work that actually matters. The system handles the rest.

Your data stays in your jurisdiction

Australian data stays in Australia. UK data stays in the UK. US data stays in the US. Compliant by design, wherever you practise.

Intelligence should be invisible

The best technology disappears. MatterLayer works overnight so your morning is five decisions and a coffee.

MARKET

Built for mid-tier firms. Globally.

Starting in Australia, expanding to the UK and US. The top firms have custom-built tech stacks. Everyone else runs on a PMS and hopes for the best. MatterLayer is the intelligence layer that turns every mid-tier firm into a data-driven practice — without replacing a single system.
