Why we built it.
Australian law firms have been stuck between two bad options: proprietary legal software that locks their data behind closed platforms, or generic accounting tools that don't understand legal practice.
MatterX is the third option. It's built on the Microsoft platform your firm already pays for — Dynamics 365 Business Central, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams. Your data lives in your Microsoft tenant. Your IT team can manage it. Your integrations work natively.
We built MatterX because we spent years building proprietary legal tech — and watched every solution become technical debt the moment it shipped. Custom integrations that broke on update. One-off builds that couldn't scale. Smart work that solved the problem today and created a bigger one tomorrow.
MatterX was our answer: build it native to the platform, build it once, and let firms own their data inside the Microsoft tenant they already pay for. Every feature exists because a real firm needed it — and because we refused to solve it with another workaround.
Built by DataChef. Delivered by DataChef. Supported by DataChef.
MatterX isn't a product we resell or a platform we've partnered with. We built it. David writes the code. Katya runs the onboarding. When you implement MatterX, you're working directly with the people who created it.
