NetDocuments achieves 72% year-over-year revenue growth in the APAC region.
Over 20,000 legal professionals across Australia, NZ, Singapore, and Japan use the platform.
Growth is fueled by demand for secure, integrated AI within the document management system.
Key AI tools include the ndMAX Legal AI Assistant and agentic editing in Microsoft Word.
The ndMAX Studio offers a library of pre-built AI apps for document profiling and contract review.
Law firms value the platform's ability to enable AI without compromising data security.
The remarkable growth stems from law firms' strategic move to embed generative AI directly into their secure document management environment. NetDocuments' ndMAX platform brings powerful AI tools to the user's content, eliminating the need to share sensitive documents with external, unsecured AI applications. This integrated approach allows firms to innovate confidently while maintaining strict client confidentiality and compliance standards.
NetDocuments' AI suite is designed to streamline the entire document lifecycle. The ndMAX Legal AI Assistant allows professionals to ask questions and surface instant insights from their entire document repository. Its agentic editing tool within Microsoft Word enables users to request and apply edits directly. Furthermore, the ndMAX Studio provides a library of proven AI applications for specific tasks like document classification, judicial trend analysis, and contract review against playbooks, with the flexibility to customize or create new apps.
Leaders from prominent APAC law firms highlighted the strategic value of the NetDocuments platform. Ron Dutta, Director of Information Technology at McCullough Robertson, stated: "For all the excitement around AI, it naturally brings concerns around seamless integration of our content and maintaining client confidentiality, but NetDocuments' integrated approach cuts out the risks posed by sharing documents with external AI tools."
Robyna May, Chief Information Officer at McInnes Wilson, added: "Looking to the road ahead, NetDocuments AI strategy aligns with ours, and we can't wait to start unlocking the benefits. Our focus is on making AI a natural and accessible part of everyday legal work."
Frederik Schwim, IT Manager at Norman Waterhouse, noted the broader operational impact: "The intelligent DMS immediately improved our lawyers' workflows in multiple ways."
According to Jennifer Cathcart, Head of APAC Region at NetDocuments, "Legal technology innovation in APAC is thriving as firms look to embrace AI. It's a pleasure to be able to work with so many innovative firms who share our Intelligent DMS vision."
NetDocuments will host its annual Inspire APAC user conference in Melbourne on November 18th to further engage with the legal community on the future of document management and legal technology.
