We continue to receive great feedback ever since we released Version 2.1 to our testers.

A number of changes have been made in this release to respond to this feedback, as well as improve user's experience by enhancing the platform's performance and reliability.


In this release


♻️ Legal text import improvements

Our legal text import tool is now even more powerful!

Headings

Improvements to heading recognition means you can import a wider range of text

  • Improved detection of numbered subheadings (for example, "Section 1.1 Deliverables").

  • Fixes a bug that causes numbered subheadings to be split into two headings (for example, "Section 1.1: Conditions Precedent" was previously split into "Section 1" and "Conditions Precedent").

Clause References

Enhancements mean that more types of clause references are detected

  • Improved ability to relate rows to numbered headings.

  • Improved accuracy when Roman numerals are used in headings, subheadings and clauses.

  • Improved detection of clauses references.

  • Fixes a bug that causes single-word headings that end in a full stop (for example, “Jurisdiction.”) to be treated as a clause reference.

  • Fixes a bug that causes clauses with only a clause reference (i.e. with no text beside it) to be imported as text.

Rows

Enhancements minimise manual edits that you would otherwise do in a Word document

  • More sophisticated ability to detect trailing text.

  • Improved tidying of your imported text by removing trailing conjunctions, commas and semicolons, when appropriate.

  • Fixes a bug where introductory clauses were imported as a row, rather than as headings or subheadings (as applicable).

⏩ Improved Performance

We have made significant changes to our architecture to dramatically improve performance and reliability of the platform.

Everything from creating multiple lists, importing your documents, adding rows or columns to access permissions across Legatics, will be significantly quicker for a smoother experience.

🐛 Bug fixes

We are always looking to make Legatics more reliable, which is why we eliminated a number of key bugs in the platform this release.

A number of bugs for email notifications, including:

  • A bug that blocked email notifications from sending after lists were deleted from the matter.

  • A bug that resulted in multiple email notifications being sent to the same user if a different matter administrator assigned the same status to them.
