Software Development for Legal SaaS
Collaborative contract editing, Word Add-Ins and Microsoft 365 integration for legal technology platforms.
Legal technology lives in documents. Contracts, templates, clause libraries and matter files are the product — and the lawyers who use them will not give up Microsoft Word, track changes or their established drafting habits to fit your platform. We help legal SaaS and contract lifecycle management providers meet users where they work: Word editing embedded in the browser, Add-Ins that connect Word back to the platform, and document storage that stands up to legal scrutiny.
Collaborative Contract Editing
Redlining a contract is a multi-party, multi-round process, and emailing versions back and forth is exactly what your customers bought your platform to escape. Using the WOPI protocol and SharePoint Embedded, we embed Word for the web directly in your application — with real-time co-authoring, track changes, comments and version history working just as your users expect, while every draft stays inside your platform.
Word Add-Ins for Drafting and Clause Management
Drafting is faster when the platform comes to the document. We build Word Add-Ins that put clause libraries, approved terms and template automation inside Word itself — on the web and on desktop — so lawyers assemble contracts from governed content instead of copy-pasting from old documents. Where desktop workflows matter, we add seamless sync between desktop Word and your platform, removing the download-edit-reupload cycle entirely.
Built for Confidentiality
Legal documents carry privilege, and legal buyers ask hard security questions. We implement zero-trust WOPI hosts with proof key validation, design for data residency and geo-fencing requirements, and use SharePoint Embedded where documents must remain within a Microsoft 365 compliance boundary with sensitivity labels and audit trails applied automatically. Our wholly UK-based team simplifies vendor due diligence for UK and European legal technology providers.
Proven With Contract Management Platforms
For Corcentric, whose software manages procurement contracts and the full contract lifecycle, we embedded Microsoft Word editing in their web application using WOPI and built a Word Add-In that lets users insert clauses, terms and related information directly into contracts and templates — plus a desktop Sync app connecting Word on the desktop to their CLM platform without manual file handling.
