M-Files: A Smarter Way to Manage Legal Documents

M-Files is a next-generation intelligent information management platform that enables law firms and legal professionals to find, use, and secure documents more effectively.

M-Files uses a unique Intelligent Metadata Layer to tag every document with information that makes it easier to find. Rather than needing to know where a document is located, users can simply search on relevant information to find the documents they need in just a few clicks. With this technology, M-Files connects every document within a legal practice no matter where it resides – in network folders, on SharePoint, in file-sharing services or other applications and platforms – to provide a single view of all documents.

M-Files delivers all the features and capabilities law firms require in a legal document management solution.

Here's How It Works

No More Version Headaches

Instead of managing multiple email attachments, M-Files offers a single, authoritative version of each document via a secure link—eliminating confusion and reducing errors.
