AI built for legal work
Legal documents are dense, sensitive, and unforgiving of mistakes, which is exactly where generic AI assistants fall short. Doxis pairs AI that reads and understands your contracts with AI answers your team can actually verify, so every insight traces back to your own documents, never a black box.
AI-powered contract intelligence for legal teams
Legal teams lose hours every week rereading contracts to find a renewal date, a liability clause, or who signed what. Doxis AI.dp reads every contract as it enters the system, so that information is already waiting when you need it.
- Extracts clauses, dates, parties, and obligations automatically
- Flags contract risk from clause analysis
- Sends alerts ahead of renewals and expirations
- Keeps every contract and version in one searchable library
Ask AI questions your legal team can verify
A wrong answer from an AI assistant is a bigger risk in legal work than almost anywhere else in the business. Ask Doxi is built so every answer can be checked, not just trusted.
- Links every answer back to the source contract, policy, or case file
- Runs on-premises or in a private cloud, fully GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant
- Combines chat, AI search, and specialized assistants like a contract review assistant in one panel

FAQs about ECM for legal departments
What is ECM for legal departments?
Enterprise Content Management (ECM) for legal departments centralizes contracts, case files, patent applications, and other legal documents in one platform. Doxis automates the approval, deadline monitoring, and archiving processes behind this work, so legal teams spend less time chasing paperwork and more time managing cases.
How does Doxis support contract management?
Doxis AI.dp automatically classifies contracts and extracts clauses, dates, parties, and obligations as they enter the system. Every contract, version, and related document lives in one searchable eFile with coordinated approval workflows.
Can Doxis track contract deadlines and renewals?
Yes. Doxis sends alerts ahead of contract expiry and extension deadlines, with an automatic escalation process if a deadline is at risk of being missed. This replaces manual tracking in calendars or spreadsheets.
Does Doxis use AI to analyze contracts?
Yes. Ask Doxi reads contracts and flags contract risk based on clause analysis. Every AI-generated answer links back to the exact clause or paragraph it came from, so legal teams can verify it in one click rather than taking it on faith.
How does Doxis support litigation readiness?
Doxis gives legal teams fast, structured retrieval of case files and evidence when litigation arises, backed by a complete audit trail of who accessed each document and when. This replaces slower, disorganized manual searches across decentralized files.
Does Doxis support GDPR compliance?
Yes. Doxis provides GDPR-compliant storage, protection, and deletion for sensitive data on mergers, contracts, and employment records. Doxis is also certified against ISO 27001, ISO 9001, IDW PS 880, and GoBD.
Can Doxis manage legal document types beyond contracts?
Yes. Doxis handles patent and IP applications, case files, employment records, and confidential M&A and due diligence documents through the protected Doxis iRoom, each with the access and retention rules that document type requires.
Is Doxis suitable for multinational or decentralized legal departments?
Yes. Doxis is available in 13 languages with full Unicode support, and its multitenant architecture deploys globally while staying centrally managed. Regional data centers and a choice of cloud, private cloud, or on-premises deployment help meet local data residency requirements.
How does Doxis support audit-proof archiving and retention for legal documents?
Doxis stores legal documents in line with audit requirements and automatically applies the correct legal retention period to each one. Doxis archiving is certified against IDW PS 880 and GoBD.
Why choose Doxis for legal departments?
Doxis combines document management, AI-powered contract intelligence, deadline monitoring, and audit-proof archiving in one platform. Legal teams get one system for contracts, case files, and compliance instead of coordinating across separate tools.
