Workflow
Client & Matter Lifecycle
The backbone of every legal practice โ from first contact to file closure.
Every legal engagement starts with a client and a matter. This workflow covers the entire arc: initial intake and conflict checking, engagement letters, matter setup, ongoing management and tracking, through to completion and archival. Tools here help practitioners capture leads, screen for conflicts, manage deadlines, and keep everything organised.

pp-0006 New client calls the office, receptionist takes notes on paper, conflict check takes 48 hours โ by then the prospect hired the first attorney who picked up the phone 14 vendors pp-0001 Sales sends contract requests via Slack, email, and hallway conversations โ legal has no queue, no triage, and no idea how many requests are pending 8 vendors pp-0119 Couple going through a relatively straightforward uncontested divorce is quoted $10,000-15,000+ per person by traditional family law attorneys โ for what amounts to filling out state-specific forms, negotiating a few asset splits, and filing paperwork. They don't need a full-service attorney for every step, but they also can't afford to mess up court filings that affect custody, property division, and their financial future. Need a middle ground between 'hire a $350/hr attorney for everything' and 'download blank forms from the court website and hope for the best' 5 vendors pp-0122 Corporate legal department manages 500+ matters across 30 outside firms but has no single source of truth โ matter details live in email chains, budget approvals happen via PDF attachments, and when the GC asks 'how many active IP matters do we have in EMEA and what's the projected spend?' the answer takes a paralegal two days to compile from scattered spreadsheets 5 vendors pp-0050 PI intake calls come in at 50-200 per week but 60-80% aren't viable cases โ the firm wastes hours screening callers before a single billable minute, and good leads go cold waiting for callback 3 vendors pp-0120 Small firm sends 50 engagement letters a month and each one requires manually creating the PDF, emailing it, waiting for the client to print-sign-scan-return, then following up twice โ the whole process takes 3 days per client when it should take 3 minutes 3 vendors pp-0124 General counsel needs outside counsel for a niche matter โ employment dispute in Singapore, regulatory filing in Brazil, or patent prosecution in Germany โ but their existing panel doesn't cover it, and cold-calling firms from a directory is a crapshoot 3 vendors pp-0127 Signer can't be in the room โ the out-of-state buyer before Friday's closing, the 85-year-old in a nursing home 200 miles away โ and without remote notarization someone is overnighting documents and chasing notaries across state lines 2 vendors pp-0128 Small business founder needs a one-off legal document (NDA, operating agreement, contractor agreement) but doesn't have a lawyer on retainer โ calling law firms gets quoted $2,000+ for something that should be straightforward, and DIY template sites feel risky for a real business transaction 2 vendors pp-0178 Corporate development team running 8 simultaneous acquisition evaluations tracks deal status, team assignments, and timelines across separate spreadsheets and email threads โ a deal falls through the cracks when the analyst leaves and nobody picks up the diligence workstream 2 vendors
