Case Study: Avenue Living Legal Team achieves greater collaboration, strategic oversight and less stress with Xakia

Helping Avenue Living to work in a more strategic, collaborative way

Avenue Living, a Calgary‑headquartered asset manager overseeing more than $4.25 billion in assets and a 21‑person legal team, was struggling with piecemeal growth, documents saved on local drives, no central view of matters or deadlines, and a reactive posture that frustrated the business. Faced with rapid expansion, a major $39M acquisition, entry into new markets and a shift to remote work, the Legal Department sought a matter management solution and selected Xakia (integrated with iManage for document management) to provide a single source of truth and better reporting.

Xakia centralized matters, automatically captured key data fields, and delivered dashboards and automated reports that gave leadership visibility into workload, risk and trends. Within a year Xakia dramatically reduced time spent searching for information, lowered knowledge‑risk and stress, helped new hires ramp faster, and enabled the General Counsel to move from reactive firefighting to more strategic, data‑driven counsel.
