Platform

One system for execution, evidence, and accountability

Built to keep work structured, searchable, and governed across the full lifecycle of a matter, case, or program.

Tasks + workflows

Create, assign, approve, and verify tasks with consistent states and policy enforcement.

Documents

Keep artifacts attached to the work: uploads, metadata, and controlled sharing.

Drafting

Generate and manage drafts with review-ready structure and context.

Matter context

Organize work by workspace, case, matter, or program with consistent tagging.

Time + billing support

Capture time entries against work items and prepare billing-ready summaries.

Analytics

See velocity, stuck work, approval latency, and ownership timelines.

Problem

Task work breaks down at scale

When work lives across email threads, documents, and meetings, teams lose time, accountability, and auditability.

Scattered sources

Action items spread across emails, PDFs, meeting notes, and chat.

Missed deadlines

No consistent SLA visibility or reliable reminders across teams.

No audit trail

Hard to answer who did what, when, and why a decision was made.

Manual tracking

Spreadsheet status updates, follow-ups, and duplicated effort.

Slow approvals

Stakeholders are not routed consistently; approvals are ad hoc.

Weak accountability

Ownership changes are not captured; handoffs are invisible.

Solution

A governed system of record for legal work

Votum turns unstructured inputs into structured work items with approvals, analytics, and compliance-grade audit trails.

AI-assisted structuring

Extract work items, deadlines, and key metadata from emails, documents, and transcripts.

Workflow + approvals

Route tasks through defined states with reviewer queues, delegation, and enforcement.

Governance by design

Ownership timeline, policy controls, passkey verification, and audit-ready reporting.

Tasks

AI-powered task creation with governance

Normalize how tasks are created, assigned, approved, and audited across teams.

Multi-source intake

Standardize how tasks enter the system, regardless of format.

Lifecycle + Collaboration

From assignment to verification, with full context

Assignment, observers, comments, subtasks, documents, metadata, and timeline tracking stay attached to the task.
