Documents & Editor
Asem Editor
Draft together, mark up PDFs and keep every version: online, offline and beside the files you already have.
Documents that live with the matter
From first draft to final version, in one place.
Open a Word document or spreadsheet and edit it with colleagues at the same time, with threaded comments, @-mentions, footnotes and endnotes. Templates with merge fields fill in client and matter details automatically. Folders work firm-wide or per matter, and every save creates a version you can restore.
Everything a legal document needs
Edit, annotate, convert and sign without leaving the matter.
Live co-editing
Word documents and spreadsheets, edited together in real time.
PDF workspace
Highlight, comment and ink, saved as a new version, never over the original.
PDF ⇄ Word
PDF to Word rebuilds tables, headers and footers; Word to PDF for filing.
Notes
Shared notes that turn action points into tasks on the matter.
Offline
Keep working when the signal drops
Court rooms and client sites don’t always have a connection. Recent and pinned documents stay on your Mac or phone in an AES-256-GCM encrypted vault, and you keep editing offline.
- Edits merge back when you reconnect, and the merge can be undone
- If the document changed meanwhile, your version is saved as a copy beside it
- Offline copies lock if the device hasn’t checked in for 30 days
Connected drives
Reach the files you already have
Connect Google Workspace, SharePoint and OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, WebDAV and NAS drives, or the office file server through Asem Bridge. Browse, import into a matter and save back, and decide which folders each role, person or matter team can see.
Provenance
Know where every document came from
Documents produced or changed by AI carry a provenance badge, conversions always land beside the original, and AI Review only ever proposes tracked changes that a person accepts. Team documents stay hidden from clients until someone shares them.
Entity recognition
Asem reads every document for you
Parties, dates, Ghana Card and TIN numbers, suit numbers, statutes and citations are found in every document, scans included. Accept a party and it joins the matter with a fresh conflict check; accept a date and it lands in the court diary. See Entity Recognition.
Notes
Notes that become work
Write meeting notes, file notes and research notes with colleagues, live. Action points become tasks on the matter, assigned to the right people.
In short
What is legal document management software?
Legal document management software stores a firm’s documents by client and matter, tracks every version, controls who can open each file, and lets lawyers draft, review and sign without emailing attachments around. Asem adds live co-editing, PDF tools, encrypted offline access and connections to the drives and file servers firms already use.
FAQ
Which file types can we edit?
Word documents and spreadsheets are edited live; PDFs can be annotated, converted to Word and exported. OpenDocument, Markdown and text files convert to Word, and CSV uploads become spreadsheets.
Do we have to move our files into Asem?
No. Connect your drives or file server and import files only when you need them in a matter.
What happens if two people edit offline?
Asem merges what it safely can. If the document changed while you were offline, your version is saved as a copy beside it so nobody’s work is lost.
Draft together. Work anywhere.
