Before a lawyer reaches court, there may be a file to locate, a hearing date to check and a client waiting for an update. These tasks form part of the preparation behind legal work. Jaipur entrepreneur Aman Sharma has built Xegality to bring such activities into a digital workspace, alongside the research and documents needed for a matter.
According to the company, each case has its own page within Xegality. Lawyers can view a timeline of events, related documents, client information and the person responsible for the work. A matter can be assigned to a team member or reassigned when arrangements change. Keeping these details together can help colleagues understand the current position without relying on separate registers. For example, an office could look at a matter’s upcoming hearing alongside the documents and responsibilities connected to it, then organise the preparation that is still needed.
Physical file tracking is one of the platform’s practical features. An office can record the cupboard, shelf or drawer where a file belongs. It can also note who collected it, why it was taken and when it should be returned. Reminders are available when a return is overdue, giving the office a record of where its paperwork has gone.
Consider two colleagues preparing the same matter when its paper file has been taken out for a hearing. Knowing its location and the person holding it could help them organise the next task. This example illustrates the purpose of file tracking: connecting the digital record with paperwork that still needs to move between people and places.
Other features described on the website include access to court records, case status and daily cause lists. Xegality also offers GST invoices linked to the matters being billed. These functions bring different office activities into the same environment. They address the needs of a practice where several cases may require attention and administrative work continues alongside legal preparation.
Language is another part of the product. Xegality AI accepts questions in English, Hindi and Hinglish, while its drafting tools offer translation into Hindi and other Indian languages. This may help users move between the language of a conversation and the language of a document. The resulting text still needs to be checked for meaning and accuracy before it is used.
Platforms such as Harvey and Legora also bring several legal tasks into shared digital systems. Xegality is approaching this market through the working routines of Indian legal offices. For Sharma, that provides a specific basis for competition. A useful comparison would consider how each platform fits a particular practice, including the administrative work surrounding research and drafting.
The problem Sharma is addressing extends to the work before and after a courtroom appearance. Preparing a matter, finding its papers and knowing who is responsible are important even in a small office. Xegality brings these requirements into its product design. Its opportunity now is to prove useful in those daily tasks, giving lawyers another option as they decide how to organise their practice.
