matters+

Status: Matters Plus Limited, the UK company behind matters+, was dissolved on 13 May 2025 according to UK Companies House. The product is no longer actively sold, and this entry records what it offered.

matters+ is an out-of-the-box matter management platform built for corporate in-house legal departments and delivered as a browser-based service with no complex implementation project. It gives legal teams one place to log every request, run matters and contracts to completion, and demonstrate the workload and value the department delivers to the business.

Key features of matters+ include:

• Matter Management: Automated matter creation and tracking handles high request volumes, with work assignment, reallocation and process trackers that expose bottlenecks and delays.
• Outlook Auto-Filing: Emails and documents file themselves against the correct matter, and clients and colleagues receive automatic notifications as work moves forward.
• Contract AI and Key Dates: An AI contract review tool assesses agreements and flags risk, while key date tracking keeps renewals, expiries and deadlines under active management.
• Knowledge Management: A searchable knowledge database keeps precedents and institutional know-how available to internal teams and external advisers instead of sitting in inboxes.
• Legal Analytics: Interactive analytics generated automatically from matter data show team performance, workload trends, predicted demand and spend with external law firms.

Best for: Small and mid-sized in-house legal teams, particularly in the UK, that want matter management running quickly without a heavyweight enterprise legal management deployment.

matters+ gives general counsel the operational data to justify headcount and budget while removing manual filing and status chasing from lawyers' days, and its published pricing makes total cost predictable for a small legal function.
