Next-Gen ELM. Radically Reduced Risk.
The only ELM built for teams who lack the time, resources, or risk appetite for legacy vendors.
Prove value before you commit. Adapt without IT. Zero lock-in.

You Need ELM. You Can't Afford the Way It's Usually Sold.
You know the value of Enterprise Legal Management (ELM). Centralized intake. Orchestrated workflows. Visibility into matters, contracts, spend and performance. Your team is drowning without it. But the path to get there? That's the problem.
Traditional ELM means 12-18 month implementations. Six-figure investments before you see any value. Heavy IT involvement you don't have. Rigid systems that require vendor projects for every change. And vendors whose investors need 10x returns—which means their growth matters more than your success. 77% of legal technology implementations fail to deliver promised value. That's not a technology problem. It's a model problem.
You don't need less ELM. You need ELM with less risk. That’s why there’s mot-r.
ELM Rebuilt to Reduce Risk at Every Stage
mot-r is next-generation Enterprise Legal Management—built from the ground up to eliminate the risks that make traditional ELM so hard to buy.
1. Lower Implementation Risk
Start with a no-risk proof of concept: one workflow, defined success metrics, measurable outcomes, no commitment to expand. See real results in your environment with your team before making any significant investment.
2. Lower Ongoing Risk
Your organization will change. Your processes will evolve. mot-r adapts with you. Legal Ops configures workflows directly—no IT tickets, no vendor projects, no added cost, no delay. The platform changes as fast as you need it to.
3. Lower Vendor Risk
Every established ELM vendor is PE-backed, VC-backed, or owned by a large corporate entity. All face the same pressure: grow revenue, cut costs, optimize for exit. mot-r is 100% founder-owned. No outside investors. No board. And every contract includes termination rights upon change of control—if we're ever acquired, you walk away with your data, free of penalty.
Two Ways to Start
Begin with structured legal intake.
Requests arrive clear, complete, and routed correctly.
Begin with one operational workflow.
Prove value, then expand.
Reducing risk doesn't mean reducing capability. mot-r delivers comprehensive legal operations management:
Service Delivery
• Intake & Triage: Structured requests arrive complete and ready for action
• Matter Management: Track matters from open to close with full visibility
• Contract Lifecycle: Manage contracts through drafting, negotiation, execution, and renewal
• Workflow Orchestration: Automate multi-step processes across teams and stakeholders
Internal Operations
• Spend Management: Track, analyze, and control legal spend
• Vendor Management: Manage outside counsel relationships and performance
• Reporting & Analytics: Real-time dashboards and operational insights
• Knowledge Management: Capture and leverage institutional knowledge
Your Documents Stay Where They Belong
Unlike platforms that create another document silo, mot-r is DMS-native. Documents live in SharePoint, NetDocuments, or your existing DMS. mot-r orchestrates the work around them—without fragmenting your content, security model, or existing investments.
Full ELM Capability. Not a Stripped-Down Compromise
If you’re relying on…
ELM/CLM suites → you still have workflow gaps + DMS fragmentation
Point intake tools → you still lack orchestration + reporting
Power Automate + SharePoint forms → brittle + hard to evolve
Email + meetings → invisible work, rework, burnout
mot-r is better because it’s…
DMS-native, not DMS-adjacent — keeps documents where they belong, preserving security and augmenting ROI
Single, secure, expandable platform — not a mashup of disconnected tools
Configurable by Legal Ops (no heavy IT lift) — adapt fast without months of implementation
Replacing CLM, ELM, Matter Management, Task Management, Workflows, Reporting & More
GenAI will transform legal work. It will also create real risks—competence, confidentiality, supervision. Most vendors are racing to ship AI features. We took a different approach.
Our Lawyer-in-the-Loop AI (LITL) is additive, not mandatory. Your workflows run without AI. When you're ready, AI enhances them—no rebuild required. Use any LLM. Swap models as the market evolves. Maintain full governance, human oversight, and audit trail.
AI works when it has clean data, structured knowledge, and well-defined process.

What No Other ELM Vendor Can Say
Why mot-r Stands Out
100% founder-owned. No PE, no VC, no corporate parent.
Contractual exit rights upon any change of control.
No-risk proof of concept: prove value before commitment.
Legal Ops configures directly. No IT. No added cost.
DMS-native. Documents stay in your existing system.
AI-ready with governance. Toggle on when ready. No lock-in.
Every Other ELM Vendor
PE-backed, VC-backed, or owned by large corporate entity.
Locked in through acquisition and whatever comes after.
Demos, references, and promises. Commit before you know.
IT tickets, vendor projects, professional services fees.
Another document silo to manage, secure, and migrate.
AI baked in or bolted on. Locked to vendor's AI partner.
AI-Ready When You Are
Legal professionals spend 25-30% of their time on operational overhead: coordination meetings, email routing, status tracking, manual reporting. mot-r eliminates this waste.
Overhead Eliminated
Coordination meetings and status alignment
Email routing and request clarification
Manual Tracking and reporting
Total overhead eliminated per person
Time Returned
3-5 hours/week
2-3 hours/week
3-4 hours/week
8-12 hours/week
For a 10-person legal team, that’s 80-120 hours per week returned to actual legal work. Over 5 years, customers typically report $2.5M-$3M in net value from combined efficiency gains and consolidated tooling.
10+ Hours Per Week Returned to Legal Work
Legal professionals spend 25-30% of their time on operational overhead: coordination meetings, email routing, status tracking, manual reporting. mot-r eliminates this waste.
mot-r is right for you if:
You need ELM capabilities but lack the time for a 12-18 month implementation
You don't have dedicated IT support for Legal
You want to prove value before making a significant commitment
You've been burned by legal tech that didn't deliver
You're wary of PE-backed vendors and their incentives
You need a platform that adapts as your organization changes
You're interested in AI but want to adopt it on your own timeline
We’re probably not the right fit if:
You're looking for a narrow point solution rather than a platform
You have robust IT dedicated to Legal and prefer that model
You prioritize brand recognition over fit
That's okay. We'd rather know now than waste each other's time.
Built for Teams Like Yours
We don't think you should evaluate ELM through demos, slide decks, and reference calls. We think you should see it work in your environment, with your team, on your actual work.
Our no-risk proof of concept:
One workflow from your operation
Defined success metrics we agree on upfront
Measurable outcomes in weeks, not months
No obligation to expand
When it works, you'll have data to justify broader investment. If it doesn't, you've learned something valuable with minimal exposure.
