About
SimpleLegal is a legal operations management platform designed for in-house legal teams at mid-market and enterprise companies, providing modern software for matter management, outside counsel e-billing, vendor management, and legal department reporting. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, SimpleLegal was acquired by Onit, broadening Onit's portfolio of legal workflow and operations solutions. SimpleLegal built a reputation for a clean, intuitive user experience that contrasted with the complexity of legacy enterprise legal management systems like TeamConnect and Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker.\n\nSimpleLegal's platform enables in-house legal teams to intake and track legal matters, receive and review invoices from outside counsel, enforce billing guidelines (UTBMS and AFA), generate budget vs. actual spend reports, and manage vendor relationships — all in a system that legal professionals can configure and use without extensive IT support. This accessibility made SimpleLegal popular with growing companies that needed enterprise-grade legal operations capabilities but were not ready for the implementation complexity of the largest ELM vendors.\n\nAs part of Onit, SimpleLegal's capabilities are being integrated with Onit's enterprise workflow automation and contract management tools, creating a more comprehensive legal operations platform. The combined entity competes with Mitratech, Thomson Reuters Legal Tracker, and newer entrants like Brightflag in the legal spend management and operations space. SimpleLegal's customer base of mid-market in-house teams provides an important market segment for Onit's broader legal technology strategy.
