Matter Dashboard: A Real-Time View of Legal’s Work and Impact

"What is the legal team working on right now?" 

It's a reasonable question from the CFOs, COOs, and business leaders who partner with the legal department. For many in-house legal teams, though, it also points to a familiar challenge.

The work is real, the volume is growing, and legal is often managing far more than the business can easily see. Without a clear way to surface that work, it becomes harder for legal teams to show priorities, balance capacity, and demonstrate their impact on the business they support. 

That’s the problem the LegalOn Matter Dashboard solves. It gives businesses a single, live view of everything the legal team is managing—showing who owns each matter, how long work is taking, where the delays are forming, and how demand compares to previous months. 

All in one place. And with no exports, no third-party tools, and no manual reporting. 

How the Matter Dashboard Works 

The Matter Dashboard is now live in LegalOn Matter Management, giving legal teams immediate visibility into their workload and performance: 

• Get instant visibility. Access the Matter Dashboard for a live view of everything legal is managing, powered by real-time matter data within LegalOn. 
• Check workload distribution. See how matters are assigned across the team. If one attorney is carrying disproportionate volume, you’ll see it immediately.
• Review volume trends. How many matters were opened this month versus last? Is demand increasing? Which business units are generating the most requests? Which departments are consistently sending incomplete information?
• Monitor efficiency. View lead times, resolution rates, and time-to-close by matter type. This is where you identify bottlenecks before they become backlogs.
• Drill down with custom field graphs.  Filter by matter type, status, or any custom dimension. Click any graph to drill into the matching matter list instantly.

With these insights, organizations can answer operational questions in seconds.

Visibility for the Entire Business

The Matter Dashboard doesn’t just help legal teams—it helps the entire organization.

For attorneys, the dashboard provides a clear view of their workload and priorities. Lawyers can see what’s assigned to them, track progress across matters, and manage their daily work more efficiently.

For general counsel, the dashboard offers an operational view of the legal function. Instead of manually compiling reports, GCs can quickly demonstrate how much work the team is handling, where demand is growing, and where additional resources may be needed.

For business leaders, the dashboard brings transparency to legal’s response times and workload. CFOs, COOs, and department leaders can see how requests move through legal and where bottlenecks may be forming.

Turn Legal Work into Operational Insight

You will never meet a legal team that says they don’t have enough work. But they will tell you that the challenge is managing growing demand without the operational tools to track and clearly measure their work across the business.

With the Matter Dashboard, legal teams can see—and show—exactly how work is progressing, and operate with the visibility and operational clarity needed to move business forward.
