Automated Law Firm Workflow Software for Document Management
The sheer volume of court documents across jurisdictions often overwhelms legal teams struggling to manually identify important case updates. With new litigation, ECF systems rapidly generate monumental numbers of filings, documents, and notices from state and federal courts that demand processing and distribution across multiple offices.
ECFX Notice brings order to the chaos of multi-jurisdictional document management. Using your firms' conventions to instantly download, profile, and save the latest case pleadings in a centralized repository, ECFX Notice automates your workflows and storage; eliminating fragmentation so large legal teams can concentrate on high-value work.
In a recent survey, 55% stated they were losing billable hours due to the manual processing of ECF notices*
Eliminate Repetitive Tasks
Processing rising ECF notice volumes burdens attorneys, docketing clerks, and paralegals with time-consuming, repetitive administrative work. Manually handling court documents devours 5-30+ minutes per notice, which is uneconomical at scale.
Factor in the compounding time loss from evening/weekend delays, duplicative efforts, routing errors, incorrect storage, and missed case updates. The collective impact results in valuable billable hours lost firmwide each day.
ECFX Notice eliminates bottlenecks; seamlessly automating document coordination so large teams regain productivity. Our system handles the singular, instant processing of all ECF notices 24/7.
Imagine the compounded savings and profitability from unlocking thousands of regained billable hours yearly.
In a recent survey, over 40% of respondents stated the time it takes to save documents when processing ECF notices manually is a significant concern.*
For national law firms, adding ECFX Notice is the equivalent of adding several full-time staff members, without the high costs of salary, benefits, and infrastructure. For an estimate of your firm's ROI, please see our calculator at the bottom of this page

Data Safeguarded
How ECFX Protects You
Our airtight data security aligns with judicial rigors - safeguarding confidential cases. We never disseminate client ECF notices openly, unlike other providers.
We handle high-profile sealed and restricted case data seamlessly, while empowering authorized staff. ECFX upholds an uncompromising, internally transparent, yet impenetrable stance on security, aligning with federal/state court standards at the heart of client trust and law firm reputation.
Employing proprietary encryption and stringent protocols, ECFX Notice document protection surpasses industry baselines. Clients count on rigid security integration that blocks external visibility without impacting internal transparency and collaboration.
In addition to our own internal security protocols, ECFX is also SOC 2 Type 1 Compliant.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) compliance is an internationally recognized standard established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It provides a framework for managing and protecting customer data based on five "Trust Service Principles": security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Achieving SOC 2 Type I compliance demonstrates that ECFX has implemented rigorous controls and procedures to safeguard client information.
Intuitive Integration

ECFX has you covered. The onboarding team at ECFX knows that every firm is different, and understands how to work with you to integrate ECFX Notice into your technology stack. Best of all, ECFX Notice requires NO attorney training.
We believe one size never fits all, and no automated workflow solution should require you to sacrifice flexibility or rewrite your processes. ECFX Notice doesn’t change how you currently operate, significantly increasing adoption by attorneys and staff.
ECFX Notice:
- Manages multiple storage sites - ECFX Notice can manage multiple storage locations across departments and locations – including CMS, DMS, file repositories, and share folders (on-prem and cloud) – while ensuring complete consistency and accuracy.
- Is Secure - ECFX Notice securely handles sealed documents through credentialing. Documents remain encrypted at rest and in transit, separately encrypted and walled from other firms and users.
- Enforces naming conventions – Once set up initially, ECFX Notice will automatically match your naming conventions and ensure consistency for the entire firm. Conversely, with manual processing of ECF notices, ensuring that documents are consistently and properly named every time is virtually impossible.
