The Omnis Legal Network is live

The professional network for legal work

Reach the lawyer on the other side of a matter by the address you already have: off the filing, out of the signature block, at the bottom of the thread you are stuck in. They accept, and you talk. Your firms are never connected, and each keeps its own record.

Free for firms of up to 8 people. A solo practice is a firm of one.

Can we move the deposition to the 14th? Our expert is travelling.
Works for us. I will send the amended notice today.
01

Found by address, not browsed

An exact-match look-up. An address is an input, never an output.
02

Two lawyers, not two firms

Neither firm is asked, told or connected to the other.
03

Filed on your own side

Attach it to your own matter. The other firm never sees that you did.
04

A record you can produce

Export your side with a certificate, under your own retention.
How it works

Three steps, and no directory in between

1
Look up

Type the address

Off the filing, out of the signature block, or from the thread you are stuck in. Exact match only; nothing to browse.
2
Accept

They say yes

The other lawyer gets a request with your name, firm and matter. Accept or decline. No firm is involved either way.
3
Talk

Each keeps its own record

A conversation between two people. Each side files it under its own matter, privately, and can export it at any time.
The workspace

Your firm's own workspace

Conversations, matters, boards and an assistant, built for a law firm rather than adapted to one. Every sign-up gets a workspace for the firm, and it works with no case system connected.

The MatterChat desktop app: the Henderson v. Pacific Tidewater matter channel, with messages, a thread and the channel list

Conversations

Channels, direct messages, threads and search. Ethical walls, legal hold, retention and room export built in.

Matters and time capture

A matter list that stands alone, or CasePro as a source. Turn on time capture and entries are drafted from messages for your people to approve or discard.

Boards, intake and automations

Boards, intake forms and automations, next to the conversations about the work.
Chi open as a full panel over the MatterChat desktop app, answering a catch-up question about a matter with a sourced table
Chi, the assistant

It asks before it acts

Chi can draft and do the work, but anything that leaves the firm, deletes or changes records in bulk waits for your OK first.

Your data
Chi answers from what your firm holds, under your own permissions, not from the open internet.
Sources
Answers cite the documents and records they came from.
Drafts
Ask for a draft, edit it, and share it with a colleague or in a DM.
On the desktop
A small orb that stays on top of whatever you are working in. Click it and it opens into a full panel.
Security

Two lawyers talk. Two firms stay apart.

Each firm owns the record of the work, keeps it in full and can export it at any time, under its own retention.

The firm boundary

Every read and write is scoped to the firm of the person signed in, never to anything sent in a request.

Your own retention

Every record stays under the retention rule your firm sets.

Export with a certificate

Produce your side of any conversation, in full, at any time.

One gate, one rule

A colleague, an administrator or a third firm asking for a cross-firm conversation all get the same answer: not found.
