With an experienced team of software and SharePoint developers including specialisation in application development, integrations and UX design, we build solutions that are tailored to the needs of our colleagues and our clients. 

Our software is developed for a wide range of use cases and is scoped, built, tested and deployed using our own version of design methodology based on ensuring that the end product is highly functional, adaptable and upgradeable, whilst also ensuring that the user experience is as intuitive and enjoyable as possible. 

We typically collaborate closely with Matheson lawyers and business services professionals to develop and deploy specific solutions. One such recent solution, the CarbonCal application, designed by our Environmental Sustainability Group and developed by Digital Services, won the NetZero Award at the Business and Finance Awards in 2023.

Case Study: CarbonCal

If one of the main aims of legal technology and innovation is to drive efficiencies in the delivery of legal services, then automation is one of the core strategies to achieve that goal. 

A well automated document or process can significantly reduce the amount of time that it takes to complete a task. If the system for automation has been well configured it will be possible to easily obtain metrics over a period of time in terms of what documents have been automated allowing for data-driven decision making at a departmental level.

The Document Automation team within the Matheson Digital Services Group draws on considerable experience working on legal documents over the course of the last forty years. We have automated significant and complex document sets, utilising one of the most thoughtfully developed document automation platforms available at this time. 

We offer document automation services both internally, and also directly to our clients.

• Improved efficiency
