# Relex vs Microsoft 365

Matter structure and handover across your chosen assistants

## Microsoft 365

Office collaboration; agents can use SharePoint and connected knowledge

[Microsoft 365](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/extensibility/knowledge-sources)

## Relex Legal Workspace

Facts, parties, issues, obligations, deadlines, sources and saved work belong to the matter. Google Workspace can remain your email and document suite; Relex adds the legal context that compatible agents can reuse.

## Benchmark protocol: prove the handover, not the slogan

Product-fit comparison, not a performance ranking. Plans, integrations and setup matter. See the comparison for sources and a repeatable evaluation protocol.

## Your files have a workspace. Give your legal context one too.

| Your decision          | Relex + your agent                                                       | Microsoft 365                                                           |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Change agents          | Reuse saved facts, sources and progress through supported connectors     | Files remain available; continuing matter context depends on your setup |
| Protect identities     | Client-side sealing; authorized agents use de-identified context         | Suite security and permissions; assess the configured AI data flow      |
| Use fewer input tokens | Retrieve relevant context instead of resending the whole file            | Depends on retrieval, caching and the assistant; measure both           |
| Run legal work         | Intake, knowledge, research, matters, agreements, signatures and billing | Docs, email and collaboration; assemble the legal workflow              |
| Build your platform    | Legal SDK: matter APIs and shared client-side protection                 | General platform APIs; implement your legal data model and controls     |
| Reach a lawyer         | Marketplace discovery and an approved matter invitation                  | Arrange professional discovery and the handover separately              |
