MatterAlert is a web-based docketing, calendaring, and tickler system for law firms and legal teams. It centralizes matter information, templates, tasks, events, documents, and deadlines in matter dashboards. The vendor lists workflows for litigation, intellectual property, family law, and client-specific use cases, making it relevant to firms that need rules-based calendaring tied to matter operations.

Pricing follows a contact-sales model, while the published Core platform plan is listed at $15 per user per month. That plan includes the MatterAlert web portal, Outlook synchronization, matter templates and dashboards, notifications and alerts, ethical-wall controls, and audit logs. Calendar integrations cover Outlook, Microsoft 365, and Exchange; broader connections include Microsoft Teams, CalendarRules, Thomson Reuters Elite 3E, Aderant, iManage, and NetDocuments. These integrations make MatterAlert suitable for teams that already organize work around Microsoft calendars or established legal-management systems.

Its central capability is court-rule-based event and deadline calculation with weekend and holiday adjustments, automatic date updates when rules change, and coverage of 2,200 jurisdictions. PACER and UniCourt connections add docket searches, notices, and document access, while task escalation, multichannel notifications, team calendar views, time capture, billing reports, and event-level audit trails extend the workflow beyond a basic calendar. Support is listed through tickets and documentation, and compliance features include SOC 2, SSO/SAML, and two-factor authentication. Choose MatterAlert if your team wants matter-centered, rules-driven calendaring with legal-system connections; consider another product if you need a free tier or non-web deployment.
