Navigation through endless pages and tree structures requiring multiple clicks, leaves users feeling overwhelmed and disoriented, struggling to find information quickly.

Empowering legal teams: A new UX era
1. Simplified menu
Clear navigation and contextual understanding
It isn't just about aesthetics – it's about empowering effortless navigation with fewer pages, clear language and contextual awareness to boost productivity with ease.
2. Optimized task assignment
Streamlining teamwork with 2-step task assignment
Assigning tasks to your team shouldn't be a headache. With just a few clicks, bulk actions, and quick context, we can streamline decision-making and mitigate overwhelm.
3. Easy task completion
Tidy tasks, enjoyable work
Instead of multiple tabs chaos, each task now opens as a side panel, key data and CTAs are hierarchically displayed, and tabs organize information for easy access and quick task completion.
Reflection
Project Takeaways
Adapting strategically: Two-phase launch
As a PM coming into a complex software setup with time constraints and a reduced team, I prioritized critical pain points in 2 launches to meet user and stakeholder expectations effectively.
Designing for business goals and user needs
It's easy to get carried away and overhaul every page. Due to business goals and constraints I had to prioritize redesign efforts, leveraging familiar workflows and UI libraries.
Fostering collaboration for better results
Implemented a culture of continuous improvement, through workshops and sharing research insights. We managed to foster a collaborative environment for continual improvement.
