ClearPeople (clearpeople.com) develops Atlas, a multi-award-winning intelligent knowledge and intranet platform built natively on Microsoft 365. Specifically targets law firms and professional services with legal knowledge management, client portals, matter management, and AI-ready knowledge governance. ‘AI-ready knowledge’ appears to mean structured, tagged, indexed content ready for AI consumption (e.g., Copilot) — infrastructure, not intelligence. Appears to use automated contextual indexing of existing M365 content rather than requiring manual tagging. M365-native architecture means data likely stays in customer’s M365 tenant, inheriting Microsoft’s security posture. UK-based, 7,029 LinkedIn followers, 11-50 employees. Stradley Ronon (AmLaw 200, ~200 attorneys) appears to be a customer or evaluator — their Director of KM mentioned at Inside Practice AI x KM conference alongside Atlas. Present at AI x KM: New York (2026). Has success stories page on website. No public pricing. Zero Reddit presence. Competes against iManage, NetDocuments, HighQ, Litera in legal KM — positioned as M365-native alternative, appealing for firms committed to Microsoft stack, but competing against vendors with 10-100x headcount.
Who It’s For

- No Reddit mentions or practitioner feedback
- Specific law firm clients not publicly named (Stradley Ronon mentioned at conference)

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, ClearPeople (Atlas) is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems ClearPeople (Atlas) addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Documents scattered across email, shared drives, attorney desktops, and filing cabinets — paralegal can't find the key document when it's needed for court or a deposition
BigLaw firm with 1,000+ lawyers has decades of work product locked in DMS folders — the precedent brief the partner drafted 3 years ago is unfindable, institutional knowledge walks out the door when partners leave, and junior associates waste hours recreating work that already exists somewhere in the system
