PONS Operations is a web-based workspace for managing legal cases, transactions, and projects as matters. Each matter brings together its documents, tasks, people, and results. When a matter is opened, the software can interpret its context, surface relevant laws, suggest tasks, and produce a starting draft. PONS says Operations supports solo practitioners, law firms, in-house legal teams, and multi-entity organizations. Colleagues can co-edit documents with visible presence and resolve inline comments; outside collaborators can receive matter-specific access. Permissions can be assigned at the individual, team, department, organization, folder, or file level, with time-limited access available for outside counsel. Tasks can include deadlines, files, and comments. Calendars sync with Outlook, Google Calendar, or an iCal feed, and documents can be imported from Google Drive or OneDrive. Firm analytics include organization, team, and per-user views of matters, time, billing, and AI usage. PONS says documents are encrypted at rest, in transit, and at field level. EU hosting is the default, with local hosting available on request. The company states it is SOC 2 Type II audited, ISO 27001 certified, and GDPR compliant. Pricing is available on request, and the company offers a walkthrough using a user's own documents.
