Your entire legal office. One browser tab.
A courthouse-grade word processor, an Acrobat-grade PDF editor with court-safe redaction, and a compliant mail server — unified in one secure web application your whole team can use at once. Nothing to install.
Open it from a link. Edit as a team, in real time.
It runs in the browser — nothing to deploy to workstations. Documents live on your server, so any authorized lawyer or clerk opens the exact same file in seconds, from any machine.
Nothing to install
A pure web application. No desktop software, no per‑machine licences, no IT rollout — staff and counsel just open a link and work. Updates ship instantly for everyone.
Documents live on the server
Every letter, exhibit and filing is stored centrally with a Windows‑style file browser. Any authorized user opens a matter from the shared library — no e‑mailing files around.
Real‑time team editing
Switch on LIVE mode and two lawyers on two computers edit the same document simultaneously, changes ghost‑highlighted as they land — collaborative drafting, built for a legal office.
Everything a legal office needs, without leaving the page
Draft it, format it, proof it, redact it, sign it, and send it — every step handled in a single, self-contained system.
Word Processor
An Office‑2010‑style ribbon with system & Office fonts, styles, tables, lists, colour and highlight, find & replace, and a live word count. Letterhead, meta fields, and signatures compose automatically.
Acrobat‑Grade PDF Editor
Open any PDF as editable pages. Annotate, sign, date‑stamp, highlight, white‑out, truly redact, and combine or split filings — then flatten to a pixel‑perfect PDF.
Compliant Delivery
Sends mail itself via direct‑MX, TLS‑first, DKIM‑signed — no relay. A per‑recipient Live Send Monitor streams the SMTP handshake, upload rate, and result in real time.
Proofing
Hunspell spell‑checking — the engine behind LibreOffice and Firefox — defaulting to Canadian English for Alberta practice, with US, UK & AU dictionaries and right‑click corrections.
Files & Interop
Windows‑7‑style Open/Save dialogs with a real folder browser. Reads & writes DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, PDF, HTML, and TXT. Copy & paste to and from Microsoft Word cleanly.
Legal Workflow
File‑as‑exhibit into case folders, reusable sender profiles, full send history, and an .eml archive of everything dispatched — the practice mechanics, built in.
Polished, court-ready, and unmistakably professional
The workspace, the output, and the boot screen — captured from the running suite.
Redaction that actually redacts
Most tools lay a black box over the text — and it can be lifted in seconds. That is a career-ending failure on a court file.
Our editor burns the redaction into the page pixels and discards the underlying text entirely. It cannot be recovered with pdfimages, by copy‑paste, or by moving the box.
- Original text destroyed at the pixel level — verifiably
- Flattened output carries no recoverable layer
- Defensible for disclosure, FOIP, and filing
Exhibit “A” — Witness Statement
The complainant, Jane A. Doe, resides at 1428 Riverside Dr and was interviewed on March 3…
