How legal systems connect

Counsel360

A working concept showing how legal-specific systems connect through Intapp CRM — permission-aware matter context and AI-enabled workflows in one governed view, strengthening security, oversight, and decision-making across high-stakes legal work.

The concept

One governed view of clients, matters, and AI workflows

Legal teams work across a dozen systems that never share a picture of the client relationship. Counsel360 connects them behind one governed view, where every signal is permission-aware, every recommendation waits for a person, and every source system keeps its role.

Intapp CRM as the hub

The concept I demonstrate: connecting relationship intelligence, matters, documents, and AI workflows through Intapp CRM, so every legal-specific system feeds one governed view.

Salesforce Legal Operations 360

A Salesforce-native variant of the same idea, with client, matter, and AI workflow visibility in Agentforce and Slack for legal operations teams.

Signal layer

The connected systems

Intapp CRM acts as the governed front door. Each legal-specific system contributes exactly what it should, and nothing more.

Intapp CRM

The hub of the concept: relationship intelligence, matters, and AI workflow context come together here as the governed front door.

Intapp CRM receives governed metadata and summaries only — it coordinates the picture without becoming a system of record for any source.

iManage & NetDocuments

The document management layer supplies matter metadata and workspace links for approved legal work.

Documents stay in the DMS; the dashboard receives workspace context and permission-aware links.

Elite 3E

The financial system contributes time, billing, and matter-health signals.

Financial summaries support context without turning the dashboard into the billing system of record.

Microsoft 365

Meeting, coordination, and task signals for matter teams.

Message content is never displayed; only operational collaboration signals are used.

Harvey

The governed AI work layer for approved workflows and reviewed outcomes.

Workflow status and human-reviewed recommendations are visible; Harvey is not a source of record.

Relativity

High-level discovery-stage status and milestone signals.

Documents, searches, review decisions, and privileged content remain in Relativity.

Litera

Safe draft, comparison, and approval workflow metadata.

Contract text stays in the DMS; only document type, matter, owner, timing, and status are shown.

Slack

Approved channel and activity signals for relationship and matter coordination.

Message content stays excluded; approved channel and activity metadata only.

Cloud & Data

Business-intelligence client-health metrics for the workspace.

Only approved client-health metrics are surfaced for governed reporting.

Control plane

Governance by design

The operating model treats privilege and confidentiality as architecture, not policy fine print.

  • Source systems remain systems of record. Intapp CRM receives governed metadata and summaries only.
  • Permission-aware signals stay summarized and traceable back to their originating system.
  • No privileged source content is copied by default; documents, message content, and review decisions stay put.
  • Human review is required before consequential actions, and before any legal-AI workflow launches.
  • Signal and suggestion stay separate: recommendations are surfaced for a person to approve, never executed on their own.
  • Discovery content stays restricted, and integration health, data freshness, and access boundaries are monitored in one place.
My role

What the concept demonstrates

From the operating model to the connector boundaries to the AI eligibility logic, the concept reflects both legal-ecosystem depth and enterprise transformation breadth.

Concept and architecture

Designed the Counsel360 concept end to end: the signal layer of connected legal systems, the control plane for policy posture, and the briefing layer for guarded output — demonstrated through Intapp CRM.

Integration boundaries

Defined, system by system, what each platform contributes, which connector and access scope it uses, and the hard boundary on what may never leave the source system.

Governed AI workflows

Designed Agentforce matter coordination and Next Best Action eligibility, so AI checks permissions, legal-hold status, and reviewer assignment before any workflow can launch.

Platform fluency

The concept spans Intapp CRM, iManage, NetDocuments, Elite 3E, Microsoft 365, Harvey, Relativity, Litera, Slack, and Salesforce, showing the ecosystem understanding behind the architecture.
