Legal department softwarefor everything the business sends legal.
Requests, matters, contracts, obligations and the firms you instruct — on one record, in Arabic and English, configured for the jurisdictions you operate in. Built so the department can show what it delivered rather than only feel busy.

The business raises it on a structured form — no account needed — so legal's first exchange is the work rather than the four questions that should have come with it.

Instructions and documents stay on your record, not in theirs.
Outside counsel, inside your record
An instructed firm reaches the matters it acts on and cannot retrieve anyone else's. The boundary is applied where the data is read, so it holds however the request arrives — not by hiding a menu.

No spreadsheet, and nobody’s morning spent building it.
The month's problems, before month end
Four standing panels on the management dashboard, not four things somebody has to think to go and look for — and the volume and turnaround numbers the business asks legal to account for.
One request, from the moment the business asks to the report that shows what legal delivered.
Sixteen stages, one record — including the firms you instruct. Each links to the page that covers it properly, and each says who does the work.

The half that is not the lawKnow the file before the firm's first invoice. And show the business what legal did.
An in-house team’s AI has a different job from a firm’s. It reads what the business sends before it goes out to counsel, and it turns the department’s work into evidence the board can see. Everything runs inside your own account, in Microsoft Azure’s UAE region — the question procurement asks first — and it is charged on use.
Off until an administrator switches it on. Charged on use, from a prepaid balance with an itemised ledger — nothing if you do not use it.
If the debt is yours and the litigation is theirs.
Banks, finance houses and any business carrying a book of judgments run recovery the same way: the portfolio sits in-house, the cases sit with instructed firms and private executors. Both are fields on the case here, which means one portfolio view rather than a returns file from each firm.
The portfolio is yours
Claim, judgment, recovered and outstanding per case, with the balance computed from receipts rather than kept in a returns file from each firm.
The firm and the executor are columns
Both are parties on the case and both appear on the tracker, so the portfolio can be filtered and reported by who is actually working it.
Recovered this period, as one figure
Across the whole filtered portfolio rather than the page on screen — out to Excel, or a PDF grouped by case type or case status.
Whether you are one lawyer or a group legal function.
A single counsel
One lawyer covering everything gets a structure that does not depend on their memory — requests in one place, obligations with owners and dates on them, and a record that holds while they are on leave.
A team of five to twenty
Named ownership, agreed turnaround times, and workload by business unit — so work is distributed on evidence rather than on whoever answers fastest.
A group legal function
Multiple entities and offices, with access scoped by department or office and reporting kept separate — plus a dedicated tenant and an SLA on Enterprise.
What in-house teams say about running on CasEngine.
“I now have all the cases with the dates, assignments, tasks, reporting in one place, one now knows exactly what work do we have and when is it due.”
“The best feature in Casengine is the dashboard — viewing everything I have in the department, from cases to clients to updates, has made my work a lot easier, more efficient and faster.”
Questions in-house teams ask before switching.
Legal departments serve internal clients rather than billing external ones, so the workflow centres on service requests, external counsel, obligations and reporting to the business rather than on time recording and client invoicing. Both run on the same platform, which is what lets an in-house team and the firms it instructs work in one record.
Yes, and without an account. Colleagues submit through a structured form that asks for the counterparty, the purpose, the value and the deadline, so legal's first exchange is the work rather than the questions that should have come with the request. The requester can then see status without emailing to ask.
Yes. Service levels are configured by the department rather than inherited as a default, and a request that breaches its turnaround appears on the management dashboard as a standing item — so legal learns about a breach before the business raises it.
Yes. External counsel are a separate class of user, scoped to the matters they are instructed on, and the boundary is enforced where the data is read rather than by hiding a screen — so it holds identically from the web app or the mobile app. Matters they are not instructed on do not resolve for them at all.
Yes. Fees charged by each external firm are tracked against the matter and its budget, so overspend surfaces while it can still be managed rather than at the end of the quarter.
Any dated commitment — a licence renewal, a regulatory filing, a power of attorney, a document expiry — is attached to the client, matter or project it concerns, with a named owner and a deadline that cannot be left blank or set in the past. The reminder fires a configured number of days ahead and recalculates itself if the date moves.
Yes. Request volume, turnaround and workload by business unit are reportable, alongside caseload by status and twelve-month trends — which is usually what a board asks the legal function for, and what previously took somebody a morning in a spreadsheet.
Yes, and it is enforced at the record rather than by hiding a screen. Staff see the matters they work on, sensitive files can be narrowed to a named few, and access can be scoped by department or office.
Yes. It reads only the documents and data inside your own account, indexed privately, and every answer is cited to the file it came from. Where the record does not support an answer it says so rather than producing a plausible one, and it works inside the same permissions as the person asking.
Yes, and language is a per-user setting rather than a department-wide one. Every record and screen works in Arabic and English with full right-to-left support, so an Arabic-speaking colleague and an English-speaking colleague can work on the same matter, each in their own language.
