Legal monitoring isn’t just reading updates
Legal, regulatory, and compliance work means constantly tracking changes in laws, regulations, and internal policies, analyzing their impact, and preparing clear, actionable reports for teams or clients.
This means:
Monitoring official government and regulatory body websites for updates
Interpreting complex legal language and summarizing key points
Collaborating with legal teams, compliance officers, and other departments
Preparing documents for audits and regulatory reviews
This information comes from a variety of sources - PDFs, emails, government portals, internal documents - and it’s easy to get lost in an overwhelming amount of data.
Without a good system, important insights can get buried, duplicated, or missed altogether.
Keep everything in one place - With context
Collabwriting is a simple, secure tool for keeping all your important - and often confidential - information in one place. Everything you save is easy to find, always accessible, and safely stored.
Highlight ➡️ Save ➡️ Collaborate
Instead of manually copying legal texts and notes into separate documents or spreadsheets, here’s how Collabwriting makes your day-to-day tasks easier in practice:
Save key insights from any source - whether it’s a PDF, government site, email, or even a YouTube webinar
Add context and explanations right next to each snippet, so you and your team or clients know exactly why it matters and what actions to take
Tag and categorize by regulation type, client, date, or risk level (e.g., #GDPR, #FinancialCompliance, #DataPrivacy)
Always find what you saved - even if the original page changes or goes offline.
Control access to decide who can view, comment, or edit specific information
For example: A new GDPR update appears on a government site. You highlight the key change, add a note on how it affects Client A’s data handling, and tag it #Urgent. Your team and client get the update instantly, with context and a link to the source. No back-and-forth, no confusion.
Connect insights and collaborate with ease
Collecting insights is just the first step - organizing them in a practical way is what really makes your work shine.
When you have lots of information from different sources, having a clear structure helps you and your team quickly find what matters and collaborate smoothly.
Here’s how to keep your research neat and easy to manage:
Topics
These are like mini workboards where you save highlights from articles, PDFs, videos, or Kindle books.
You can invite teammates, experts, or clients to join in. They can view, comment, or edit - and you can even make some Topics public for quick sharing.
Clusters
Clusters are groups of related Topics, kind of like folders.
For example, you could have a ’’Banking Compliance” Cluster with Topics like ’’AML Rules’’, ’’Transaction Reports’’, and ’’Internal Controls’’.
Just like Topics, Clusters have customizable permissions and can be kept private or shared with your team.
Workspace
This is your team’s central hub - where all your Topics and Clusters live.
Everyone in your Workspace can access the organized research, so collaboration happens naturally without confusion or lost information.
Permission control
You can control who sees or changes what, so junior team members, outside lawyers, or clients only get access to what they need - no accidental changes or leaks.
With everything nicely organized, you spend less time hunting for info and more time getting things done - together.
Simplify how you work together and share ideas
Forget cluttered emails with dozens of links:
Send one Cowrite link with all the relevant legal updates and research
Your colleagues and clients can comment, ask questions, or add notes directly beside the content - without switching tools or tabs
Instant notifications via email or Slack keep everyone in the loop
This way of sharing knowledge is simple, saves you time, and reduces stress because everyone has access to the right information in one place.
📌 The law never sleeps - and neither can your system for tracking it.
