Scenario · Lawyers, legal assistants, and administration · ANIMA Workspace

Collaborate on legal documents with clear versions

A statement of defense needs lawyer revisions, supporting evidence from a legal assistant, and a filing-deadline check from administration. Email attachments make versions hard to track.ANIMA drafts from the template and saves the document as an asset. Lawyer edits create version 2 with changes marked. The legal assistant adds the exhibit list, and administration confirms the deadline. All edits stay in one document.
