Onit, a global provider of AI-enabled workflow automation products for the legal industry, said today it has acquired Legal Files Software, Inc., a company that provides legal case and matter management software for corporate, government and law firm customers.
In business since 1990, Legal Files says it has more than 500 customers in industries ranging from corporate enterprises to insurance to federal, state and municipal governments. Its product offerings include corporate matter management software, insurance litigation software, and case management software for government, law firms and legal aid.
The news comes just a week after Onit announced a partnership with Swiftwater and Company to bring Onit’s workflow automation expertise to corporate investigation processes.
“Legal Files has spent three decades building and honing its industry expertise, making it the preferred case management solution for insurance companies, universities, and state and local governments,” said Michael Farlekas, CEO of Onit.
“By combining Legal Files’ expertise with Onit’s leading-edge workflow automation and AI-native solutions, we will be able to offer clients the same great services they are used to while simultaneously offering them the infrastructure required to scale.”
“Today’s legal teams are being asked to do more with less, while also navigating the changing dynamics of legal operations and how legal teams contribute to business growth,” said John Kanoski, CEO of Legal Files.
“This is especially challenging in highly regulated industries like those Legal Files specializes in. Leveraging Onit’s technological leadership — especially when it comes to AI — will empower our clients to meet these expectations and continue to grow.”
