Votum replaces the spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and email chains firms use to run a practice — cases, documents, drafting, contracts, and billing, in one place, with every action attributed.
A hearing lands on the cause list for tomorrow, and the associate on the matter is on leave.
The hearing was synced into the case file the moment it hit e-Courts. Whoever's covering opens the matter and sees every filing, order, and note — not a fresh search.
See howA partner asks who's actually handling the rejoinder due Friday, and whether it's stuck.
The task's full delegation trail — who assigned it, who it was passed to, and when — is right there, append-only. No one is re-typing "where are we on this" into WhatsApp.
See howA vendor MSA needs sign-off from Legal, Finance, and the GC before Friday's board meeting.
The contract moves through a sequential approval chain. If Finance sends it back with a comment, the owner is notified as a task, edits, and resubmits — earlier approvals stay intact.
See howA junior associate needs the firm's standard indemnity clause, and the person who wrote it left last year.
They search the firm's own Playbook clauses without leaving the editor, with AI-explained relevance — instead of pinging five people or reopening an old matter.
See howOpposing counsel serves a bundle of 40 documents, and someone needs the loan agreement, the amendment, and the email that references clause 4.2 — today.
AI field extraction pulls the fields you need out of the whole folder at once, with per-cell confidence and evidence, and multi-language full-text search finds the email even with a typo in the query.
See howA client's invoice has been sitting unpaid for 45 days, and the partner wants to know if a reminder even went out.
The invoice's send history shows exactly when the WhatsApp reminder went out, whether it delivered, and the email fallback — no one has to ask around.
See howA client call runs long, and by the time it wraps up nobody remembers who owns which follow-up.
The recording transcribes with speaker diarization, and one click pulls the action items straight into Tasks — instead of someone replaying the recording from memory.
See howA partner wants to know, right now, whether the team's turnaround is actually improving, or if a few slow matters are hiding inside the average.
Cycle-time percentiles show the median and the slowest 10% side by side, and officer scorecards flag who needs attention — not just who closed the most tasks.
See howA GST filing deadline is two weeks out, and it isn't clear whether anyone actually owns it.
The obligation sits in one registry with a named owner and a due date, and its status escalates automatically as the deadline gets closer — no manual re-triage.
See howCase Tracking
e-Courts sync keeps the cause list current automatically. Hearings, orders, and filings sit in one shared case file, so no one re-searches from scratch when they pick up a matter.
Tasks & Delegation
A WhatsApp voice note or message becomes a tracked task. Every delegation hop is an append-only, tamper-evident log, and due dates sync to a connected Google or Outlook calendar.
Documents / DMS
AI field extraction runs across any folder or document set. Built-in redlining diffs two Word versions word-for-word, and Bates numbering exports exhibits ready for court.
Drafting
Describe what you need and get a ranked, ready-to-edit draft. Fill a template's blanks from source material with a confidence-flagged review step, or search your own Playbook clauses without leaving the editor.
CLM
Key dates are extracted with the exact clause they came from. Approval chains enforce sign-off order, with send-back-for-revision and built-in DocuSign e-signature on the same contract page.
Invoicing / Timesheets
Unbilled time surfaces automatically the moment you pick a client on an invoice. Reminders go out over WhatsApp with the PDF attached, with a per-invoice send history.
Transcription
Record live or upload, with speaker diarization by legal role — Advocate, Judge, Witness. One click reformats a transcript into a Legal Brief, Q&A, or meeting notes.
Reports
Officer scorecards blend completion rate, on-time delivery, and overdue backlog into one score. Cycle-time percentiles expose the tail a single average hides.
Compliance
One registry spans GST, Income Tax, MCA, Labour, Pharma, Environment, FEMA, and Custom obligations. Status and risk escalate automatically as deadlines approach.
Delegation, hop by hop
Every task handoff is an append-only event — not an editable "assigned to" field that quietly overwrites history.
Contract approvals, not just a status
Every approve, reject, and send-back-for-revision is timestamped and attributed, with the comment trail attached to the contract.
Document versions, not overwrites
Redlines and version history are tracked per document, so it's clear what changed and who changed it.
Every reminder sent, logged
Invoice reminders keep a per-invoice send history — success or failure, recipient, and timestamp.
30 minutes, with your own case types and document workflows.
