The AI-Powered Law Practice Management Platform.
Stop paying premium fees for fragmented legal software. Aeion Legal unifies matter management, trust accounting with overdraft protection, conflict check with fuzzy name matching, court deadline calculation, and 18 integrated services—all natively wired into Aeion OS.
The Intelligent Legal Practice Engine
Trust Accounting with Overdraft Protection
Manages your IOLTA/trust ledger with hard-stop overdraft protection. Deposits are always allowed. Withdrawals are blocked whenever the balance is insufficient (corrections excepted). Three-way reconciliation, invoice payment straight from trust, and low-balance alerts keep your firm audit-ready.
Smart Conflict Check
Runs firm-wide conflict checks combining exact matching (normalized name, ID) with fuzzy name matching that catches near-miss spellings, punctuation, and word-order differences. Every match is flagged with a severity level — definite conflict, potential conflict, or informational — so attorneys know exactly how much scrutiny it needs.
Court Deadline Calculator
Calculates calendar-day, business-day, and court-day deadlines. Built-in federal holiday sets through 2030, with CA and NY holiday sets extending the federal calendar. Court-day calculations skip weekends and holidays and automatically roll forward to the next valid court day.
4-Tier Time Billing
Resolves billing rates by priority — matter-specific, then client-specific, then practice-area, then attorney-default — so the right rate applies automatically. Expired rates are excluded, and a firm-wide default rate covers everything else. Invoice generation from unbilled work-in-progress, write-offs, AR aging buckets, and attorney utilization reporting round out the picture.
Statute of Limitations Engine
Calculates SOL deadlines for CA, NY, TX, FL, and Federal courts using pre-loaded rules. Warns 90 days before expiry and automatically creates a docket reminder — including correct handling of calendar-month math so a deadline is never miscalculated by a date-rollover edge case.
Multi-Provider E-Signature
Orchestrates Native (Client Portal), DocuSign, and HelloSign (Dropbox Sign) e-signature. Configure your preferred provider from Settings — Aeion degrades gracefully rather than pretending a document was sent when nothing is configured. Envelope creation, status tracking, and signing URL generation are all included.
Contract Analytics
See which clauses show up across your contract portfolio and how often, which obligations are coming due, and which counterparties carry the most risk — all surfaced automatically instead of requiring someone to read every executed agreement to answer "how exposed are we, really."
Contract Obligation Tracking
Every contractual obligation gets a compliance reminder and a deadline notification well before it's due, with escalation if it's ignored — so a missed delivery date or an unrenewed insurance requirement surfaces as a heads-up, not as a breach-of-contract letter.
Contract Renewal Pipeline
Expiring contracts are auto-identified and dropped into a renewal pipeline with status tracking and quote generation, so "did we renew that" turns into a proactive pipeline you manage on your schedule, not a scramble triggered by the counterparty's lawyer.
Contract Version Control
Every revision is preserved with a full audit trail, side-by-side version comparison, and one-click rollback — so you can always answer "what did the fourth draft say before legal struck that indemnification clause," and undo a bad edit without starting the document over.
Document Automation
Generate retainer agreements, engagement letters, and other standard documents straight from templates — with a reusable clause library, variable substitution, automatic paragraph numbering, and section cross-references — so associates spend their billable hours on judgment calls, not on reformatting boilerplate.
Legal Analytics
Firm-wide dashboards show matter pipeline, attorney utilization, revenue by practice area, and client profitability side by side, so a managing partner can see which practice areas are actually carrying the firm without waiting for the quarterly finance memo.
Legal Research
Case-law search, citation checking, and precedent tracking live in the same workspace as the matter you're researching for — with research notes attached directly to that matter, so the next associate who picks up the file doesn't start from zero.
LEDES Export
Generate LEDES 1998B, 2000, and 2010-compliant invoices for insurance defense billing directly from your time entries — line items map automatically to the required format, so insurance carriers can't bounce your invoice back over a formatting technicality.
Calendar Sync
Every court deadline and matter milestone syncs to Google Calendar or Outlook automatically, with conflict detection catching the moment a new deadline lands on top of an existing commitment — so a docketed deadline is on your calendar the second it's calculated, not something you have to remember to add.
Matter Management
Each matter tracks its own client link, practice area, status, and associated documents in one place, so opening a file means seeing the complete picture — not hunting across a client folder, a billing spreadsheet, and an email thread to reconstruct what's actually happening.
Matter Templates
Standard templates by practice area auto-populate documents, tasks, and billing rates the moment a new matter opens — so a routine landlord-tenant case or standard closing doesn't require rebuilding the same checklist from scratch every time.
Email Capture
Emails tied to a matter are captured, threaded automatically, and made full-text searchable with attachments intact — so "what did opposing counsel actually say in March" is a search, not a scroll through someone's personal inbox.
Why Firms Actually Switch
The disciplinary-complaint near-miss
A single accidental trust overdraft is the kind of mistake that ends up in front of a state bar. Hard-stop overdraft protection makes that class of error structurally impossible — it's not a policy staff has to remember, it's a rule the ledger itself enforces.
The conflict a keyword search would've missed
Exact-match conflict tools miss "Johnson & Johnson" filed as "Johnson and Johnson." Fuzzy matching catches the near-miss spellings, punctuation, and word-order differences that exact-match tools simply don't see — before you've opened a matter you shouldn't have taken.
The deadline that falls on a holiday nobody flagged
Court-day calculations roll forward automatically past weekends and jurisdiction-specific holidays (Federal, CA, and NY holiday sets ship pre-loaded), so a deadline never quietly lands on a day the court isn't open.
The four separate subscriptions, replaced by one system
Trust accounting, conflict check, court-deadline calendars, and e-signature used to mean four vendor relationships and four places for data to drift out of sync. Here they're one system, one login, one audit trail.
Frequently Asked Questions
Outside-counsel users get scoped access to specific matters; secure document portal for sharing draft contracts; bidirectional comment threads on matter records. Counsel's billable-hour tracking integrates if they use the same Aeion tenant; otherwise reconciles against their invoice.
States: draft → internal-review → counterparty-review → negotiation → final → signed → in-effect → expiring → expired. AI-driven contract analysis flags non-standard clauses, missing protections, financial commitments. Comment threading per clause; redline-diff between revisions.
Yes — fuzzy matching against the firm's client + opposing-party database catches variations like "Smith Holdings LLC" vs "Smith Holding." The match sensitivity is configurable; flagged conflicts route to the conflict-check partner for review before matter opening.
Yes — the calculator distinguishes calendar days, business days, and court days; weekends and holiday sets per jurisdiction roll the date forward. Federal plus California, New York, Texas, and Florida ship as seed data — additional jurisdictions can be added without any custom development. Each deadline lets you set its own alert lead-time.
Per-claim-type SOL clock starts on accrual date, and the engine pauses the clock when tolling factors are recorded against the matter. SOL rules ship for federal plus California, New York, Texas, and Florida — adding more jurisdictions is configuration, not custom development. The 90-day warning docket is auto-created on SOL calculation; further reminder cadence is configurable.
Yes — auto-population of client + matter details into a document template, automatic version history, and e-signature through your configured provider (native, DocuSign, or HelloSign / Dropbox Sign). State-bar-specific fee-disclosure language is bring-your-own — drop it into the template and Aeion handles the merge + signing flow.
