Working context

Priority workflows

Client information arrives at enquiry and is still being relied on at handover, and the firm has to be able to show who held it at each point.

01

Enquiry to engagement

Capture the initial brief, gather requested information and route proposed work through the firm's own review and approval steps.

See it in the Matter Intake demo

02

Delivery and resource planning

Connect agreed work, responsibilities, availability and milestones so teams can coordinate delivery and surface scheduling conflicts.

03

Document and client handoffs

Track document requests, versions, review decisions and outstanding client actions within the context of an engagement.

Matter Intake: a demo for professional services

One of the workflows above, built by BespokeWorks as a working demo with sample data. It shows how the work could function, not what a finished system would look like.

Demo · Client intake and engagement

Matter Intake

A new enquiry is checked, scoped, priced and approved on one record seen by the client, the fee earner and the partner. When a name matches the register or a deadline is missing, the workflow holds for a person to decide.

  • Client
  • Fee earner
  • Partner

Before you choose a solution

  • Which parts of an engagement follow a common pattern, and which vary by team or client?
  • Which tools should continue to own client records, documents, time entries and billing?
  • Who needs to approve work or information before it moves to the next person?
