Passport

Passport is the enterprise legal management platform from Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions, built for large corporate legal departments and insurance claims defence teams. It consolidates matters, legal spend, documents and outside counsel collaboration in one highly configurable system so legal work and the cost of that work are managed against a single set of records.

Key features of Passport include:

• Matter Management: Matters, budgets, documents and deadlines sit in one repository, with configurable business process automation enforcing intake, approval and closure steps.
• Legal E-Billing: Outside counsel invoices are received, validated against billing rules and routed for approval, with guideline breaches and arithmetic errors detected automatically.
• LegalVIEW BillAnalyzer: AI-assisted invoice review examines line items, timekeepers and billing narratives, surfacing non-compliant charges before invoices reach approval and payment.
• LegalVIEW Analytics: Rate and staffing benchmarking draws on a Wolters Kluwer database of invoiced legal work to compare firm rates against the wider market before negotiation.
• Passport Office Companion: Legal teams action matter tasks, documents and approvals from inside Microsoft Office rather than switching into a separate application to record work.

Best for: Large and global legal departments and insurance claims defence operations managing high outside counsel volumes that need billing compliance and rate benchmarking at scale.

Passport gives general counsel a defensible view of legal cost and matter status across the enterprise. Invoice review and rate negotiation become data-driven processes rather than manual spot checks by busy lawyers.
