Litera, fresh off its November acquisition of UK-based document automation company Office & Dragons, said today that it has acquired another UK-based company, Peppermint Technology, a provider of modular, cloud-based technology for law firms, built on and closely integrated with Microsoft cloud technology.

“This strategic acquisition significantly elevates the value law firms derive from their Microsoft applications, adding innovative marketing, business development, and case and matter management solutions to Litera’s suite of legal technology capabilities that manage the end-to-end legal experience,” Litera said in announcing the acquisition. 

Founded in 2010, Peppermint’s core product offering is its CX365 platform, a fully integrated suite of modular, legal-specific applications built on Microsoft technology. CX365 includes tools for CRM, ERM, matter management, case management and document management within a single platform. The platform is tightly integrated with Microsoft 365.

“We are very excited to become part of the Litera family, where our shared vision and offerings will deliver even more benefit to our customers and the wider legal sector,” said Gary Young, CEO of Peppermint. “It is the right time in Peppermint’s growth journey to bring our businesses together, having similar cultures and ambition for our people, customers, and partners.”

“The combined offerings from Litera and Peppermint Technology will empower law firms to excel in client engagement and operational efficiency directly in the Microsoft tools they use every day,” said Avaneesh Marwaha, CEO of Litera. “We are excited to both integrate Peppermint’s innovative solutions into our portfolio and partner with Microsoft, accelerating Litera’s mission to transform top-to-bottom the entire legal experience and give our clients efficiencies they did not imagine possible.”
