Intapp DealCloud is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform developed specifically for law firms and other professional services organizations. It goes beyond a traditional CRM by integrating relationship management, marketing automation, artificial intelligence, and experience management into a single, unified solution. Through automatic data capture, integration with Microsoft 365, and advanced analytics capabilities, DealCloud enables legal professionals to cultivate strategic relationships, identify new opportunities, and enhance collaboration across teams.

Turn relationships into results: with DealCloud, every contact is a strategic opportunity.

Manual data entry — such as logging emails, scheduling meetings, or updating contact lists — is often a point of friction in law firms and is frequently neglected. DealCloud automates this process by capturing interactions in real time and keeping records constantly updated.

This results in clear productivity gains and a reliable, up-to-date client database. For example, in an ongoing M&A proposal, a client relationship manager can access the complete communication history between the client and the team — without relying on forwarded emails or manual inputs.

DealCloud is not a generic platform adapted to the legal sector — it was purpose-built to meet the specific challenges faced by law firms. Its structure reflects the complexity of legal relationships, compliance requirements, the sensitive nature of client data, and the critical role of reputation and experience in decision-making processes. 

The platform includes features such as case management, practice area mapping, and customizable workflows by legal department. For example, a firm with practices in litigation, real estate, and tax can configure separate dashboards and reports for each area, with tailored and relevant performance metrics.

A firm’s proven experience is one of its most valuable assets when attracting new clients or responding to RFPs. DealCloud centralizes the entire history of matters, clients, practice areas, financials, legal teams, and outcomes, allowing this information to be accessed and presented in a professional and structured manner.

In practice, this means that a marketing or business development team can, in just minutes, generate a credential portfolio on “international arbitration in the energy sector” or “corporate restructuring for pharmaceutical companies,” including real examples, dates, responsible lawyers, and outcomes — all based on validated and up-to-date data.

Artificial intelligence in DealCloud is far from a gimmick — it provides automatic alerts when a client relationship begins to cool (e.g., no significant interactions in the last 90 days), identifies behavioral patterns, and suggests follow-ups based on user activity.

These features help lawyers and business development teams stay proactive in relationship management. For example, an alert may indicate that a high-value client has not engaged with the firm recently. The team can then act with a personalized communication or a meeting proposal, avoiding the loss of a strategic relationship.

In a legal environment heavily reliant on tools like Outlook, Word, and Excel, DealCloud’s native integration with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem is a critical advantage. Users can access, update, or consult CRM data directly from their email or calendar, without disrupting their daily workflow.

This means, for instance, that a lawyer preparing for a client meeting can view the full history of interactions, past matters, pending business opportunities, and meeting notes directly in Outlook — without switching between multiple applications.

Marketing Automation

DealCloud enables the creation of targeted marketing campaigns based on structured data, segmenting audiences by interest area, location, client type, or relationship history. The platform manages newsletters, event invitations, legal updates, and industry reports, while tracking engagement metrics (open rates, clicks, responses).

Use Cases:

  • After a new data protection regulation is published, the privacy team automatically sends a personalized legal alert to all healthcare clients, tracks the interest generated, and follows up with meeting invitations from specialists.

  • The firm organizes an in-person seminar on labor litigation. The platform automatically identifies and invites clients who had cases in that area in the past 18 months, tracking engagement (who opened, who confirmed attendance, etc.).

Automatic Activity Capture

This feature enables the automatic capture of client interactions, such as emails, meetings, phone calls, and calendar events, integrating directly with tools like Outlook and Microsoft Teams. The information collected is organized by client, subject, practice area, or user, ensuring that all relevant data is centralized, up to date, and accessible without manual input.

Use Cases:

  • A partner in the M&A team is in negotiations with several potential clients. The system automatically logs emails and meetings with those clients, allowing the BD (Business Development) manager to monitor progress without constantly requesting updates.

  • A junior associate joins a new matter and can quickly review the firm’s full interaction history with the client, including communications by other colleagues, without requesting access to files or clarification.

“Work on Behalf of” Functionality

This feature allows legal assistants, paralegals, secretaries, or marketing team members to perform tasks in DealCloud on behalf of a lawyer or partner, ensuring productivity without requiring constant access or supervision. All actions are recorded and auditable, ensuring security, traceability, and compliance with permission settings.

Use Cases:

  • A partner is traveling abroad and is unable to log a new lead met at an event. Her assistant, with proper permissions, enters the lead into DealCloud on her behalf, ensuring the opportunity is not lost and follow-up is tracked formally.

  • A junior lawyer is preparing a credentials document. A marketing team member, with authorization, gathers and organizes experience data from the responsible partner without disrupting his schedule, ensuring the information is accurate and up to date.

 

Some of the features

Experience Management

This feature allows the firm to document its experience in detail, including matter type, client industry, jurisdiction, deal value, responsible lawyers, and outcomes. The database is structured and searchable, facilitating the creation of credentials, proposals, or responses to RFPs (Requests for Proposals).

Use Cases:

  • The firm is invited to compete in a tender for legal support to a tech company expanding internationally. Using experience data, the marketing team quickly assembles a proposal with similar cases, highlighting the firm’s cross-border M&A expertise in the tech sector.

  • A client requests to know who in the firm has experience in arbitration in the construction industry. In just two clicks, the firm identifies four lawyers with documented histories in relevant cases, reinforcing client confidence and accelerating team formation.
