Use cases / Legal intake

Everything you need before you can act, in one confidential pack.

A legal matter carries the reference and fee earner. Its intake pack asks for identity documents, an account of what happened and how it is funded, a conflict check naming everyone else involved, the evidence, and the engagement letter to approve, which is how the person you act for instructs you.

The conflict check, before anything else

The person you act for names everyone else involved: the other side, their business, addresses, guarantors, agents, lenders, any solicitors already acting, any connection to the other side, any claim number. It arrives as a form you can check against your records before the file is opened.

Two templates, and the approval that instructs you

Start a matter from a template, then let the engagement letter do the instructing.

Intake (legal matter)

Identity, about your matter, conflict check, evidence, engagement letter. Assign the whole pack to the person you act for.

Conveyancing: sale

Identity for each seller, the property, price and buyer, mortgage and sale proceeds account, occupiers, and the certificates a buyer will ask for.

Approval is instruction

The engagement letter is an approval request. Nothing is charged before it is approved, and the approval is dated and recorded against the file.

The pictures are illustrations. The names are made up.
