Software That Runs Your Firm — Matters, Documents and Billings in Sync

Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds legal software for the UAE market. From a secure client portal to a full practice management platform — case and matter management, document automation and billing — we replace the tangle of spreadsheets and disconnected point solutions with one connected system your fee earners and clients actually enjoy using.

Matters & Tasks

Case & Matter Management

Case and matter management is the system your firm runs on every day. Every matter, client and opposing party linked with a clear status, court dates and filing deadlines, matter teams with permission-based access and profitability reporting — all in one secure place.

Matter Management

Every matter, client and opposing party linked with a clear status per case.

Deadlines & Calendars

Court dates, filing deadlines and limitation periods with automatic reminders.

Matter Documents

All pleadings, evidence and correspondence filed against the right matter.

Matter Teams

Assign partners, associates and paralegals with permission-based access.

Task & Approval Flows

Workflows for drafting reviews, internal approvals and filing sign-offs.

Matter Reporting

Profitability, WIP and utilisation per matter, client and fee earner.

Documents & Drafting

Document Automation

Document automation removes the repetitive drafting that eats fee-earner hours. Smart templates assemble clauses and precedents from matter data, version control tracks every change, and secure e-signature with audit trails keeps filings moving.

Redaction, comparison and review tools for disclosure and due diligence.

Arabic Drafting

Proper right-to-left Arabic document drafting alongside English.

Clients & Revenue

Client Portals & Billing

Clients expect to see their matters move. We build secure client portals, one-click time capture, matter billing, retainers and disbursements, and UAE online payments — so your receivables shorten and your clients stay informed.

Sourced & Verified

Sourced Context on Software Development

Sourced context, grounded in verifiable references.

Software engineering applies engineering discipline to the design, development, testing and maintenance of software systems.[1]

Software maintenance and evolution typically account for a significant share of a product's total lifetime cost, which is why ongoing support matters as much as initial development.[1]

A practical AI scope, not a black box

AI Legal Software UAE

Control Shift scopes AI software for law firms and in-house legal teams. Legal teams compare clauses across drafts and languages while maintaining confidentiality and tracking which source supports a conclusion. The useful output is a reviewable result that fits the work already happening in your business.

Discuss this AI workflow

Build the right AI workspace

Scope Arabic legal document search, case-management assistance, contract comparison and drafting workspaces. Research outputs should cite retrievable sources and show unresolved questions.

Integrate with your existing systems

Connect approved matter repositories and document versions with matter-specific permissions. Do not mix confidential client collections during retrieval.

A workflow your team can supervise

Trigger
A lawyer submits a contract revision for comparison.
Agent task
Highlight changed clauses, retrieve relevant approved references and draft review questions.
System update
A matter-linked comparison note and draft annotation.
Human approval
A lawyer reviews interpretation, advice and all externally issued documents.

Legal research and drafting support

Trigger
A lawyer defines a research question or drafting task.
Agent task
Retrieve permitted source passages and prepare a referenced draft, identifying missing or conflicting material.
System update
A matter-linked research note or document draft.
Human approval
A qualified lawyer verifies authority, currentness and final wording before use.

Example workflow, from request to reviewed record

Illustrative project scope; not a claim of an existing customer deployment.

  1. A lawyer submits a contract revision for comparison.
  2. Highlight changed clauses, retrieve relevant approved references and draft review questions.
  3. A lawyer reviews interpretation, advice and all externally issued documents.
  4. Save the approved result: A matter-linked comparison note and draft annotation. Keep its source, reviewer and action history available for follow-up.

Architecture and access boundaries

A language model prepares drafts from permitted context. Where document knowledge is needed, retrieval brings in approved sources with references. Restricted API tools handle only explicitly allowed actions. Validation, permissions and approval rules operate outside the model. If data is missing or a tool fails, preserve the draft and route it to a person.

Controls specific to this workflow

AI assists legal professionals; it does not give legal advice or guarantee current law. Unverified citations must be flagged rather than presented as authority.

Agree data minimisation, access, retention and audit logging during discovery. Hosting and provider terms are confirmed for the project before sensitive data is processed.

A focused, affordable first release

Map one workflow with the people who operate it. Review sample inputs, prototype the draft and approval steps, connect the required interfaces, and agree acceptance examples. Launch to a limited user group with a manual fallback. Monitor corrections, unresolved requests and operating costs before expanding.

The proposal depends on interface access, data cleanup, language coverage and approval complexity. Share your current systems and an anonymised example of the task to define an affordable first phase.

Questions about this AI scope

Can Arabic legal AI review bilingual contracts?

It can prepare a side-by-side comparison, but a qualified reviewer must resolve terminology, interpretation and any controlling-language clause.

Can this connect to our current systems?

Connect approved matter repositories and document versions with matter-specific permissions. Do not mix confidential client collections during retrieval.

Which actions stay under human control?

A lawyer reviews interpretation, advice and all externally issued documents. AI assists legal professionals; it does not give legal advice or guarantee current law. Unverified citations must be flagged rather than presented as authority.

Can the workflow support Arabic and English?

Both languages can be included in the project scope. Evaluate representative messages and documents with bilingual reviewers, agree terminology and provide clarification or handover when meaning is uncertain.

What affects scope and delivery time?

Data quality, available interfaces, permission rules, document or message variety and approval complexity determine the work. Start with one workflow, agree acceptance examples and expand after a reviewed pilot. A tailored proposal covers implementation and ongoing operating requirements.

How do you handle sensitive information?

Agree permitted data sources, role-based access, retention and provider terms before development. Use restricted service accounts and audit records. Hosting and residency options require project-specific confirmation; no certification or blanket compliance promise is implied.
