Run legal work like a well-organized operation
Legal teams spend valuable time on tasks that are important but repeatable: reviewing documents, abstracting contracts, tracking deadlines and compiling reports. UFT helps organizations structure these activities through legal operations support and Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO), so lawyers can focus on judgment, advice and strategy.
Run legal work with structure, visibility and efficiency
UFT supports legal departments and law firms with operational capacity across matters, contracts, projects, workflows, legal spend, vendors, data, reporting, compliance and documents.
Support can be structured around ongoing operations, defined projects or repeatable legal processes.
