What Legal Ops Really Wants from Their Tech Stack in 2025

What Legal Ops Demands Today 

Legal Ops teams now focus on three essential outcomes. First, they need visibility into usage, access, and compliance across all systems to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Second, they require automation for routine tasks such as provisioning, deprovisioning, and reporting. Finally, they must align closely with the firm’s overall governance and security policies. These priorities are not optional. Instead, they serve as non-negotiables for teams that want to operate effectively in a fast-paced legal environment.

How Hive Delivers 

Hive’s modular platform addresses these priorities directly. For example, Hive Insight provides usage intelligence by team, matter, and role, allowing Ops teams to track adoption, identify inefficiencies, and deliver confident reporting. Additionally, Hive Govern automates provisioning workflows, reducing manual effort and eliminating onboarding delays. Meanwhile, Hive Secure monitors access continuously, alerting teams to unauthorized behavior or policy drift so that governance stays airtight. As a result, Legal Ops gains tools that not only meet but also anticipate modern demands.

Use Case

One corporate legal department managing retention and access across NetDocuments and Microsoft 365 turned to Hive for support. As a result, the team cut manual work by 60 percent, improved adherence to internal policies, and reduced audit preparation time from weeks to hours. Hive did more than streamline operations. It elevated them by giving Legal Ops stronger control, better insight, and measurable efficiency.
