From conflicts and intake to relationship intelligence, a next-generation virtual law firm is building its operational backbone on Intapp’s governed AI platform

Intapp (NASDAQ:INTA), the governed AI platform for professional firms in highly regulated industries, today announced that legal services firm Practus, LLP, and its back-office services provider, Auxana Administrative Services, have chosen Intapp as a core technology partner to streamline their legal and business operations. Intapp’s integrated applications, including its native agentic AI capabilities, will help Practus and Auxana improve efficiency across intake, conflicts, time, and client relationship management.

Practus is a next-generation law firm founded in 2018 by John Lively to modernize the delivery of legal services. The virtual firm combines top-tier legal expertise with a flexible, technology-forward operating model. Central to Practus’ continued growth is Auxana Administrative Services, an integrated legal services organization that provides back-office operations, technology, and administrative infrastructure for law firms and other professional services organizations. Through Auxana’s platform and strategic technology leadership, Practus selected Intapp to implement a unified, enterprise-grade solution that enhances client intake, improves data visibility, and streamlines firmwide operational efficiency.

Technology is central to the identity and operational model of Practus and Auxana. They continually evaluate technology investments to ensure they meet the evolving needs of their lawyers and clients. Through a strategic approach to technology adoption, Auxana turned to Intapp to create a connected ecosystem of AI-enabled solutions designed to simplify workflows, strengthen connectivity across its virtual environment, and enhance client relationships.

Delivering elevated legal services

For the past two years, Practus and Auxana have used Intapp Conflicts to quickly and thoroughly evaluate new business. The solution helps them identify and address ethical, business, and subject-matter conflicts of interest, while Intapp Walls maintains information barriers that protect sensitive information across the firms. The organizations have now added Intapp Intake to automate client onboarding processes by capturing critical data needed to manage compliance with industry regulations. This enables partners to focus on delivering exceptional client service rather than manual data capture and entry.

With Intapp Time, Practus and Auxana will give their lawyers flexible timekeeping methods, AI capabilities, and an easy, modern way to record their time and prevent losing billable hours. The solution will also help them easily see how they’re allocating their time, and better understand the value delivered across each matter.

Empowering lawyers with data and AI

For business development, Practus and Auxana will deploy Intapp DealCloud with Celeste. Celeste is the expert AI coworker that transforms how professionals interact with DealCloud. Rather than navigating records or pulling reports, lawyers and business-development professionals can ask questions in plain language and receive synthesized answers drawn across relationship history, engagement activity, and pipeline context. Celeste also eliminates manual data entry through document ingestion and conversational record updates, helping keep firm intelligence current without interrupting the flow of work. Pre-meeting briefs, pipeline summaries, and relationship intelligence that would otherwise require hours of research can be surfaced in seconds. This helps business-development teams identify the warmest path to a contact, prioritize outreach, and engage clients and prospects with the full weight of the firm's collective knowledge behind every interaction.

With DealCloud, Practus and Auxana will have a centralized platform where lawyers and business professionals can find and reference communications, workflows, and other data relating to client relationships, outreach, and engagements. Zero-entry data capabilities will help the firm build and manage a comprehensive view of its relationships with clients, prospects, and other contacts. Access to collective firm intelligence will help teams use AI to strengthen relationships, accurately track and forecast work, accelerate execution, and identify opportunities to expand relationships across other business units. Leveraging proprietary and third-party data will also provide actionable insights into client trends and industry developments.

Software delivery

To facilitate a successful deployment of Intapp Intake, Time, and DealCloud, Auxana will work closely with the Intapp Implementation Services team, as well as Epiq and Nidaan Systems — both Intapp partners. These implementation specialists will take an iterative, user-centric approach aligned with Auxana’s unique business needs.

"From the start, Practus was built to run without the overhead a traditional firm carries. Our people collaborate seamlessly regardless of location. Intapp gives us one connected system for the business of running the firm, so conflicts, intake, and time don’t pull our lawyers away from the sophisticated work clients hire them for."

Laura Saklad, Vice President, Legal Industry, Intapp

"Choosing Intapp for conflicts, intake, and time management aligns directly with Auxana’s ‘intelligent use of resources’ strategy — letting them achieve optimal outcomes while easing the administrative burden on their professionals. It will also allow Auxana to better collect and use institutional knowledge to make more informed decisions for their own businesses and their clients’ businesses alike."

Chris Raymond, Practice Group Leader, Intapp

"As Auxana and Practus grow, DealCloud will help them expand their offerings in alignment with their clients’ needs. Access to centralized data will also let each professional make better use of firmwide intelligence across the client lifecycle to build their books of business."
