The Law Operating System (LawOS)

The Law Operating System (LawOS) is a Russian digital platform created by lawyers for lawyers. It is a joint working environment equipped with tools to handle the day-to-day operations of all levels of legal department employees. LawOS is based on a data model that transforms knowledge about how the legal function is organized into an entity set and interactions between them which the computer can understand and which are segmented to the level of the most basic elements of business processes. This product is unique to Nextons and is the remarkable result of many years of its legal practice.
