In depth

A closer look.

Trust

A record of every correspondence, not a thread of every email.

Email is fast, but it isn't evidence. The portal captures every exchange (files shared, messages sent, payments made) under the firm's control and the client's view.

  • Tamper-evident logs with cryptographic timestamps
  • Per-document watermarks and view-only mode for sensitive files
  • One-click export for litigation hold or audit response

Experience

Built for clients who don't want to learn another tool.

No app to install. No new login screen. The portal looks like part of your firm's site, opens in the browser, and works on every device clients already own.

FAQ

Questions, addressed.

Can clients use the portal without an app?

Yes. The portal runs in any modern browser. No installation, no client-side software.

How is access controlled?

Per-matter, with role-based permissions and field-level redaction. Clients see only what you grant them access to.

Is communication legally privileged?

Communications inside the portal carry the same privilege as direct correspondence and are stored on encrypted infrastructure your firm controls.

Can I brand the portal?

Yes. Logo, accent colour, welcome message, and sub-domain are configurable per workspace.

Visibility

What the client sees, and what they do not.

The reason firms hesitate over client portals is the fear of exposing something. Access is granted per matter and per item, so the default is that a client sees nothing until you decide otherwise.

ItemClient seesStays internal
Matter progressStage, next step and any date they need to knowInternal strategy notes and attendance notes
DocumentsOnly the documents you share, at the version you shareDrafts, internal markup and privileged working papers
MessagesThe client-facing thread for their matterLawyer-only channels on the same matter
MoneyInvoices, payments made and balance outstandingTime entries before they are approved for billing, and margin
RequestsForms and document requests you send themThe workflow behind the request

Everything the client does in the portal is recorded against the matter, which means the question of whether they were sent a document, and when, stops being a matter of memory. Access works at two levels: the matter, and the individual document. A single file can be shared with a client, a guest or a link at viewer, commenter or editor level, with an expiry date, a password and download disabled if you want it read but not kept.
