NEXTmatters is an all-in-one practice management platform for law firms and corporate legal departments.

Key Features & Functions:

Matter and Relationship Management
Centralizes case files, contacts, and client history in a single system, replacing the need to work across multiple separate applications for file and relationship management.

Time Recording
Provides timers and a personal activity timeline, built from emails, document actions, file changes, calls, and billing entries, so users can log billable time to the correct matter with one click via desktop or the NEXTapp mobile app.

Billing and Financial Administration
Handles invoicing and financial administration for legal matters, with two-way integration to AFAS financial software so data entered in either system stays synchronized.

Client Portal
NEXTportal gives clients 24/7 access to drafts, documents, correspondence, and statements related to their matter, along with the ability to upload identification documents and complete questionnaires.

Document Search
NEXTsearch searches directly within case documents, correspondence, Excel and PowerPoint files, and PDFs, reducing time spent re-locating existing material.

Electronic Signature
NEXTsign enables legally valid electronic signing of documents, including those requiring a high-assurance eIDAS signature level.

Call Logging
NEXTcall records inbound and outbound calls on fixed and mobile lines, tracks call time, and allows calls to be attached with notes directly to the relevant matter.

Mobile Access
NEXTapp gives 24/7 mobile access to matter and contact data, allows direct calling or emailing of clients from the app, and supports one-click time entry from a personal activity timeline.

Third-Party Integrations
Connects to Kadaster and the Chamber of Commerce (KVK) for property and company information, Zynyo for electronic signing and authentication, NetDocuments for document management synchronization, Company.info for business intelligence on counterparties, and Payt for automated accounts receivable management.

Cloud Hosting
NEXTsaas offers NEXTmatters as a hosted SaaS solution, with NEXTlegal managing servers and updates while customer data remains in the customer's own Azure environment.
