Yes, In-House Legal Can Thrive Under Continuous Change
Change is inevitable. It’s relentless. And your in-house legal team struggles to keep up with it—just like everyone else. You’ve all tried working harder and longer. But the human cost is too high. It’s burning your people out. It’s time to rethink and retool.
It’s tempting to see a point solution as the answer. Or, even an expensive legacy Enterprise Legal Management (ELM) platform. But if past is prologue, there’s a high probability that change will continue. So neither of those options really make sense. To thrive with continuous change, a solution designed from the ground up to be flexible, adaptable and responsive is needed.
Breakthrough Adaptive ELM Platform
mot-r is not a legacy ELM solution. Nor a point solution. It's better than both. It is a flexible, adaptive platform capable of improving service quality and effectiveness across your entire legal department, it's better than both.
With mot-r as your single source of truth, you’ll always know that the right people are taking the right action to deliver the right outcomes.
Start Small. Improve. Extend.
With mot-r you can start small with select, core processes and incrementally improve your work product and quality of client service. Quick, small wins will prompt your expansion into more processes that facilitate interdepartmental interaction and collaboration. mot-r is your launch pad to improving operational excellence across your organization.
Powerful, Flexible, DM Agnostic
mot-r works with your files wherever they are, be that iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint, Google Drive or Azure (and even combinations of those). So you can create and manage workflows for any kind of work from Corporate Legal, to HR, IT and more.
mot-r provides quick answers to all process questions: where do we stand?, what's needed? who's on it? And even more, it gives managers even deeper insights to improve operations with granular analytics and reports.
Flexible
Realtime changes, with no downtime, are expected of you—and so it is with mot-r. As an adaptive enterprise legal management platform, mot-r is designed to be flexible. It can be changed, updated, maintained by regular (non IT) people—without requiring daily work to stop while changes are being made. As such, you can get up and running in no time by using quick start defaults. Once you settle in, all the important characteristics of the solution can be precisely tailored to your exact needs.
Adaptable
The designed-in flexibility of mot-r means you can easily adapt to changes within the business such as: increases in the scope of your department’s mandate, changes in regulatory requirements, technology shifts, competitive threats, hybrid and remote work, globalisation, and operational and organisational changes. With mot-r you will be able to embrace change and seize new opportunities for you, your team and the business.
Responsive
With mot-r you don’t have to make excuses why something can’t be done anymore. Instead you have tangible evidence of work activity, team workload and current priorities at your fingertips. Engage with your stakeholders and aid management in deciding what needs to get reprioritized or dropped altogether to address the new mandate. Then you can rapidly prototype and experiment with the new processes and approaches to support the change.
“Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.”

TRUSTED PROVIDERS OF
Your mandate Keeps Growing. And You were already Busy.
You need to reduce work hours and deliver quality service whether you're dealing with Service Requests, Matter Management, Contract Management, Approval Workflows, Task Management, Reporting and Notifications. We can help you improve operations across a number of use cases without having to spend money on multiple solutions.
A Single Source of Work Truth. And Less Waste
mot-r provides a visible, transparent, single source of truth about what needs to be done, by whom, and when - based on your uniquely differentiated management, operating, and delivery activities. Even the most junior resources will have the guidance (and guardrails) they need to deliver in a high-quality and timely fashion.
This is especially important in an era of expanding mandates, as mot-r can easily scale to take on Security, Privacy, Compliance, Ethics, Risk, ESG, and Government Affairs-related workflows and operations.
Compounding Your DMS investment
You've spent a boat load of money on implementing and adopting a DMS. So, the last thing you want to do is to damage that investment. You want to compound your DMS investment. Other solutions just suck out what they need from your DMS so they can feast on it. We leave all the documents where they are, with the original security in tact.
Coordination & Communication: Happier Employees
If you are dealing with millions of required actions, thousands of documents and hundreds of people - each responsible for their own independent work - then coordination is critical. Managing this constellation of resources effectively while dealing with digital-first or hybrid operations is challenging enough for some tools. We handle this with ease and add seamless multi-language capabilities for multi-national operations.
quality & Continuous Improvement: Better Value & Service
Managing a high-performance operation requires visibility to what is being done (or not done) and where you have challenges. mot-r allows you to quickly surface where you're doing well and where you aren't, and then make improvements in minutes without any intervention from IT.
Client-facing & Internal Operations
Excellence in value and service doesn't just happen. It's a series of habits and routines that occur day after day without fail. mot-r can standardize and automate the collaboration required to seamlessly execute important internal processes like Onboarding, Reviews, Exits, and the like, so the learning effects can be compounded throughout the legal department.
Iteratively Test & Learn: Faster Adaptation
If you're trying to evolve your management approach, or experiment with new operating models, you can't afford the risk, delay and cost of a custom-built solution. mot-r was designed to support a wide variety of organizational structures quickly and easily, just through point-and-click configuration.
