We're excited to announce that Candle AI is now an official Filevine partner, bringing powerful inbox-native workflows directly to firms running on Filevine.

Filevine has become one of the leading platforms for case management, helping thousands of law firms organize matters, collaborate with clients, and keep cases moving forward. Through this partnership, we're making it even easier for legal professionals to access the information they need without leaving their inbox.  

With the Candle AI and Filevine integration, lawyers can access matter details, client information, and case context directly inside Gmail and Outlook. That means less time switching between platforms, fewer administrative tasks, and a faster path from email to action.

Whether you're drafting responses, logging communications, capturing billable time, or creating follow-up tasks, Candle keeps your Filevine data within reach so work can happen where it already starts: your inbox.

We're excited to partner with Filevine as we continue building tools that help legal professionals spend less time managing email and more time serving clients.

The problem: email drives legal work, but it wasn't built for it

The legal workday begins in the inbox. Client communications, opposing counsel correspondence, internal collaboration, document exchanges — nearly every matter touches email. Yet the information attorneys need to respond effectively rarely lives there. It lives in your case management system.  

That gap creates daily friction every lawyer and paralegal recognizes:

Context is hard to reach. Client information, matter status, deadlines, documents, and recent activity all live in Filevine. To answer a single email, you often have to leave your inbox and search for the information you need. 

System switching eats hours. Meaningful responses require jumping between email, Filevine, document management systems, calendars, and other tools throughout the day.

Billable time gets lost. A significant portion of legal work happens inside email, but too often that time never gets captured or associated with the correct matter.

Client experience suffers. When attorneys spend time tracking down information instead of responding, turnaround times increase and the client experience takes a hit. 

We call it the "email scavenger hunt." It's a workflow challenge that costs firms time, efficiency, and billable hours every day—and it's exactly what Candle was built to eliminate. 

What you can do with Candle AI + Filevine

Work directly from your inbox. Draft emails, create tasks, log communications, and move matters forward directly from Gmail or Outlook. 

Respond with full context, every time. Access client information, case details, deadlines, and recent Filevine activity alongside every email, helping you respond faster and with greater confidence.

Keep Filevine records up to date automatically. Emails are logged to the appropriate matter without manual entry, ensuring case records remain accurate, organized, and complete.

Capture more billable work. Time spent communicating with clients and colleagues is tracked and associated with the correct matter, helping firms recover billable hours that would otherwise be missed.

Stay organized across all matters. Prioritize and organize emails by matter, making it easier to manage a busy inbox and focus on the work that needs attention most. 

What this means for your firm

Firms using Candle AI with Filevine can expect meaningful improvements across their day-to-day operations:

• 1–2 hours per day saved on email management 

• Up to 75% faster client response times with matter context available at your fingertips 

• More billable time captured from communication-driven legal work

• Stronger matter organization and more complete case records with less manual effort

A better way to connect email and case management

Email remains the hub of legal communication. It's where conversations start, decisions are made, and work moves forward. Yet for most firms, critical matter information still lives somewhere else.

By bringing Filevine directly into Outlook and Gmail, Candle AI eliminates the disconnect between communication and case management. Attorneys and staff can access context, take action, and maintain accurate records without disrupting their workflow.

No more searching for information. No more switching between systems. No more billable time left on the table.
