What makes Nexl different

Everything you need to execute BD programs firmwide

BD teams are stuck juggling scattered tools, manual data entry, and software that wasn't built for law firms. Nexl brings it together into one system so your team spends less time chasing data and more time advising on growth.

Fewer tools, fast to deploy

Up and running in weeks, not months. Your team sees value as soon as you connect Microsoft 365 to Nexl.

Built by law firm experts

Nexl's in-house team partners with you to set up your workspaces, campaigns, and playbooks.

Relationship intelligence & who-knows-who

Surface cross-sell opportunities

Cross-sell breaks down when relationships stay locked in one partner's inbox, and other practice groups can't see who the firm already knows.

Nexl CRM's relationship intelligence tracks who-knows-who automatically and which practice groups are engaged with a client, so your team sees opportunities as they happen and can act on what used to be just a hallway conversation.

Workspaces for project management

Create playbooks for lateral hires and events

Your team doesn't have time to rebuild plans from scratch for every new program. With Nexl, manage and standardize events, lateral hire integration, cross-practice expansion and key client plans, so every program starts from a structured template instead of a blank page.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common questions about Nexl

Nexl captures email and calendar metadata from Microsoft 365. Contacts and relationships are recorded as lawyers send emails and attend meetings, so nobody has to add contacts or log emails by hand. Nexl also enriches records when people change roles, and you can import existing lists and key client data from your financial system.

Each contact shows every relationship the firm has with that person, so your BD team can see who-knows-who across the firm. Nexl captures metadata only, so the content of emails and meetings stays with the people who sent or attended them.

Lawyers get relationship context in the tools they already use. The Outlook add-in shows relationship details alongside email, and the Nexl mobile app gives lawyers their workspaces on the go. Your BD team builds the programs, and lawyers act on them without learning a new system.

Nexl brings CRM, relationship intelligence, marketing, and BD workspaces into one growth system, so your BD team manages fewer tools and works from a single source of truth. It’s built for lawyer adoption.

Nexl fits into the email, calendar, and systems lawyers already use, and automatic contact capture keeps relationship data current. Your BD team can run events, cross-sell plans, pitches, key client programs, and lateral integration from shared workspaces. From day one, a dedicated Nexl team works with you to turn your firm’s relationships into consistent growth.

With Nexl, firms can run email campaigns, RSVP and registration forms, and automated event follow ups in the same system as your CRM and relationship intelligence. Your list, your campaign, and your event attendance all live against the same firm and contact records, so your BD and marketing teams stop syncing data between platforms.
