Legal 500 Tier 1 firm, Mewburn Ellis, partners with sa.global to modernize practice management with evergreen

London - February 23, 2026: sa.global, a specialist legal technology partner, announced a new engagement with Mewburn Ellis, one of Europe's leading Intellectual Property law firms, to implement evergreen, sa.global's cloud-based unified practice management platform, built on the Microsoft Cloud.
Mewburn Ellis is recognized for their work across the full spectrum of IP protection and commercialization. With offices across the UK and Germany, the firm has over 350 people including 50+ partners and more than 150 patent and trademark attorneys, solicitors, and IP litigators.
As the firm continues to scale, leadership identified the need to modernize core business systems, prioritizing tighter WIP visibility and billing processes, real-time financial insights, simpler time recording, and reduced administrative burden. The firm also needed a platform capable of supporting automation and AI at scale. Mewburn Ellis selected evergreen for its capabilities across workflow automation, reporting, integration, and secure cloud operations.
David Sinden, Financial Controller at Mewburn Ellis noted: "IP practices run on precision. A missed renewal or a disbursement error has real consequences for clients, and those risks are directly connected to how well firms track and manage disbursements, record time and activities, manage WIP, and control billing. evergreen gives us the control, transparency, and quality of insight that a modern IP practice requires. We selected sa.global because they understand the importance of accurate financial information and delivering a high-quality service to our clients. This platform strengthens our financial foundation today and positions us well for the future."
"Technically we wanted a modern, cloud-first SaaS solution," stated Andy Newland, IT Director at Mewburn Ellis. "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 stands out about Mewburn Ellis is their ambition and clarity. This is a firm that is making a deliberate move to build the operational infrastructure that matches where they are heading," said Stephen James, CEO, sa.global. "evergreen gives them a connected backbone for financial control and insight today, and an AI platform and framework they can extend as automation reshapes how IP professionals manage knowledge, workflow, and commercial performance."
