Microsoft Industry Cloud: The new benchmark for practice management systems
Unify your entire matter lifecycle and chart a course for sustainable growth. Where legacy ERP systems or point solutions resulted in separate systems of record for finance, matter management, business development and HR, the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms connects data in one pre-built, law-firm-specific offering. AI and Copilot capabilities are built into the same Microsoft stack, not added on top, so firms get automation and intelligence within the system they already use.
From matter opportunity to client invoicing: One unified industry cloud platform
Integrate matter management, time tracking, and financial operations in the cloud to ensure your matters are properly staffed, efficiently handled, and profitably managed.
Powered by the Dynamics 365 ERP system, the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms delivers capabilities that go well beyond conventional ERP or CRM systems. Dynamics 365 brings multi-entity, multi-currency, and multi-language financial management into the same platform as matter oversight and client data. Maintain the highest standards of client service and maximize profitability with cloud solutions tailored for modern legal practice management software.
Work smarter with the industry cloud
Maximize the capabilities of the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms with evergreen and its productivity apps. evergreen is the system of record: the ERP foundation that governs finance, matter management, HR, and business development. The productivity apps are the user-facing layer built on top of it, surfacing role-specific insights and workflows directly in Teams, web, and mobile.
Your practice's digital foundation
Powered by Microsoft Dynamics 365, evergreen is a fully integrated industry cloud platform that connects all your core practice management functions. Data lives within your firm’s own Microsoft Azure tenant, so data residency, security, and access controls are governed by your firm, not by a third-party SaaS vendor.
As your primary system of record, evergreen consolidates all your data to provide a single source of truth across your legal matters, from client intake to final billing.
Your productivity associate
Streamline your workflow with evergreen’s suite of cloud-based productivity apps, designed to minimize disruptions. The apps include time capture for logging billable activity, an onboarding application for matter and client setup, and finance and matter insights dashboards, all surfacing directly in Teams without requiring fee earners to switch applications.
Access role-based insights, track billable hours, monitor matter progress, and retrieve client information, all within Microsoft Teams, without the need to switch between applications. With these applications, law firms can access key data and complete tasks faster, saving valuable time.
Mewburn Ellis, a leading IP and patent law firm and Legal 500 Tier 1 firm, chose evergreen as the foundation for their modern practice management infrastructure.
“Technically we wanted a modern, cloud-first SaaS solution. By selecting evergreen, a platform that harnesses the power and flexibility of Microsoft’s Dynamics ERP, we have just that. Comprehensive integration capabilities via Power Automate, reporting via Power BI, and AI delivered into the heart of the software via Copilot make the solution complementary to our existing tech stack and internal skill set. I firmly believe this will be a foundation that we can build on as automation and AI become central to how IP work gets done.”

What is the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms?
The Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms is a pre-built, law-firm-specific platform built on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure, and Microsoft 365. It connects finance, matter management, HR, and business development in one governed environment rather than requiring separate tools for each function. sa.global delivers it through evergreen, the ERP and practice management foundation, and the evergreen productivity apps, the end-user applications that surface matter, billing, and client insights within Microsoft Teams.
What is Microsoft Dynamics 365 for law firms?
Microsoft Dynamics 365 is the ERP and CRM platform that provides the technical foundation for the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms. In a law firm context, Dynamics 365 powers multi-entity financial management, matter tracking, HR, and business development within a single governed system. sa.global builds a law-firm-specific data model and configuration layer on top of Dynamics 365 through evergreen, making it purpose-built for legal practice rather than a generic ERP deployment adapted for law.
What is the difference between an industry cloud and a generic ERP system?
A generic ERP system provides business process functionality that needs to be configured for each industry from scratch. An industry cloud adds a pre-built, industry-specific data model, workflows, and compliance controls on top of the ERP platform, so firms start with a legal-specific foundation rather than a blank system. The Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms includes legal billing structures, matter lifecycle management, client money controls, and SRA compliance workflows that a generic Dynamics 365 deployment would require custom development to replicate.
Which law firms use Microsoft Dynamics 365 for practice management?
Law firms including Fieldfisher and Mewburn Ellis have adopted the Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms, delivered by sa.global. Fieldfisher, a London-based international firm, replaced 11 legacy systems with the platform in a single implementation. Mewburn Ellis, a leading IP and patent firm, selected evergreen as their practice management foundation, integrating Copilot, Power Automate, and Power BI within their existing Microsoft environment.
How does Microsoft Industry Cloud for Law Firms support finance, matter management, and HR in one platform?
The offering shares a single governed data model across finance, matter management, HR, and business development, which means data captured at matter intake flows directly into billing, financial reporting, and utilization analytics without re-entry or manual reconciliation between separate systems. Finance teams see real-time WIP, AR, and cash flow. Partners see matter profitability and utilization. HR teams see headcount against matter demand. All from the same underlying record.
