Top 6 things people ask before saying yes
What in-house legal teams ask before they book a demo.
LawVu already has AI. Why switch?
LawVu offers AI as separate named tools. Chamelio is one AI that carries your contracts, playbooks and deal history into every task, from review in Word to intake and search.
Will we lose our matters and contracts?
No. Your matters, contracts, metadata and documents come over, and we handle the mapping. Most teams are live in 4–6 weeks.
We use LawVu for e-billing. What happens to that?
Chamelio doesn't do e-billing or outside-counsel spend management. You can keep a dedicated spend tool alongside Chamelio and run contracts, intake, matters and knowledge in Chamelio.
Do we keep using Word?
Yes. Chamelio works inside Word with full deal context: related agreements, playbook guidance and AI redlines, without switching tabs.
Does IT need to be involved?
Only for SSO and approvals. After that, legal manages its own playbooks, workflows and knowledge without waiting on IT.
What if Chamelio doesn't work out?
You can export all of your data at any time, so your contracts and records always stay yours.
Stop managing legal work. Start getting it done.
