Proxy Legal

Proxy Legal is a legal workflow and matter management platform from NMBL Technologies, a Chicago company founded in 2018 by attorneys and technologists to improve how in-house legal teams take in and track work. It replaces ad hoc email requests and spreadsheet tracking with a single queue in which every legal request is logged, assigned, progressed, and measured.

Key features of Proxy Legal include:

• Legal Request Intake: A standardised web-based ticketing form lets business stakeholders submit legal requests with the right information captured up front, ending untracked email and hallway requests.
• Task And Matter Management: Requests become trackable matters and tasks with owners, due dates, and real-time progress across commercial contracting, litigation, IP, compliance, M&A, and employment work.
• Prioritisation And Workload Balancing: Work is ranked and distributed across the team so managers can see who is overloaded and reassign matters before deadlines start to slip.
• Delegation And Collaboration: Matters are delegated to internal team members or outside counsel, with document collaboration and version control keeping every participant on the current draft.
• Reporting And Analytics: Built-in dashboards report on request volume, status, cycle time, and workload, giving general counsel evidence for headcount, budget, and process improvement decisions.

Best for: Small and mid-sized in-house legal departments that need a structured way to capture legal requests and demonstrate legal team workload and throughput to the business.

Proxy Legal gives a lean legal department control over incoming demand, turning informal requests into a measurable pipeline and producing the workload data general counsel need to justify resourcing.
