While the legal industry has been all-in on adopting AI, many lawyers still face barriers to efficiency like outdated processes or disconnected systems.
Neostella is a case management platform that aims to change that dynamic. This tool is engineered to provide maximum freedom for law firms, enabling them to build the system they want rather than adapting to a vendor’s framework.
Here, Neostella vice presidents Josie Slaughter and Brian Mayer share the importance of interoperability for successful tech adoption, what you can expect from a visit to their booth, and their core beliefs about the future of legal tech.
ILTACON attendees can see Neostella live at Booth 575. Can’t make the event? Feel free to book a demo here.
In a few words, please introduce your company and what sets you apart.
Neostella is legal case management built for how firms actually work. Our open, scalable platform gives legal teams the flexibility to configure workflows around their business, connect the technology they already use, and access their data without being boxed into a closed ecosystem.
From high-volume case management to automation, reporting, and integrations, Neostella gives firms the flexibility to evolve without outgrowing their technology.
Can you provide some more detail on the problems you solve and the benefits you provide?
Legal teams have invested heavily in technology, yet many are still managing work across disconnected systems, manual processes, and platforms that are difficult to adapt as the firm changes.
Neostella brings case management, workflows, communications, documents, tasks, automation, and reporting together while allowing firms to connect the other technologies that matter to their business. Instead of forcing teams into a predefined way of working, the platform can be configured around their processes.
For firms, that means better visibility across cases, less manual work, stronger access to operational data, and technology that can grow with the organization rather than becoming another constraint.
Is there anything new you’re showcasing at ILTACON this year? Anything on the horizon you’d like to spotlight?
At ILTACON, we’re spotlighting what an open approach to legal technology can look like. Firms increasingly want the freedom to build the technology ecosystem that works for them rather than being forced into a single vendor’s ecosystem.
Neostella is designed around that idea. We’re showcasing how firms can combine flexible case management, configurable workflows, enterprise reporting, automation, and an open API to create a connected operating environment around the way their teams actually work.
We’re also continuing to expand how Neostella works alongside our technology and service partners, giving firms more choice in how they build their legal operations.
What do you think the legal tech industry is doing well? And what might it be missing?
The industry is doing a great job accelerating innovation. There is more investment, experimentation, and conversation around AI, automation, data, and the client experience than we’ve seen before.
Where we think the industry has an opportunity to go further is interoperability and flexibility. Innovation shouldn’t mean replacing everything a firm already has or forcing every firm into the same operating model.
The future of legal technology isn’t one platform trying to do everything. It’s giving firms the ability to connect the right technology, data, people, and processes around the way their business actually operates. Legal teams should have more control over their technology — not less.
What’s one thing lawyers can do to be more tech savvy?
Start with the problem, not the technology. It’s easy to chase the newest AI tool or platform, but being tech savvy is really about understanding where work is slowing down, where people are repeating manual tasks, where information is getting lost, and where clients aren’t getting the experience they should.
Pick one of those problems and ask: Could technology make this easier, faster, or better? That mindset is far more valuable than trying to become an expert in every new technology that enters the market.
What can ILTACON attendees expect when they stop by your booth?
Attendees can expect a conversation, not just a product pitch. We want to hear how your firm works today, what’s getting in the way, and what you wish your technology could do differently. Then we’ll show you how Neostella can be configured around those needs.
Attendees can see how we approach case management, automation, reporting, integrations, and high-volume legal work, and talk with our team about where the industry is headed. And if you’ve ever been told, “the system just doesn’t work that way,” come talk to us.
Is there anything else you’d like ILTACON attendees to know about you?
We believe law firms shouldn’t have to choose between technology and the freedom to run their business their way.
That’s a big part of why we have built Neostella differently. We’re not interested in creating another closed system that dictates how a firm should operate. We’re building a platform that can become part of a firm’s broader technology strategy, one that can connect, adapt, and grow as the organization does.
We’re also building with the belief that the future of legal technology will be connected, open, and shaped by the firms using it.
If you’re rethinking your technology stack, trying to connect systems that don’t talk to each other, or simply asking whether your current technology can support where your firm is going next, we’d love to have that conversation at ILTACON.
