Legal Share Wizard — attorney and client meeting, and the cases dashboard
from vision to reality

Great products don’t happen by chance.

Challenge

Even the most basic legal case comes with a mountain of documents that clients must collect and attorneys must share according to highly specific requirements. Bring digital efficiency, organization and collaboration to a traditionally paper-plagued process.

Solution

A secure, court-compliant file sharing system covering the entire discovery lifecycle: pre-built discovery requests, a builder for custom requests, progress tracking, file management, and a hub for notes and objections between counsel.

Results

Attorneys and their clients get to the root of the case faster, at a lower cost — enabling better outcomes and higher throughput.

At a high level, LSW facilitates attorneys’ creation, assignment, completion and submission of discovery requests and financial affidavits through secure file-sharing between lawyers and their clients, counterparties and judges. It generates Certificates of Compliance and other court-admissible legal documents.

If you’re unfamiliar, as I was at the start of this process, Discovery Requests are legal requests for documents and information from a client or counterparty. They can be lengthy, difficult to understand, and complex to navigate.

We organized each request visually — within which are multiple sub-requests and sub-sub-requests — nested them, and provided details to make them easy for clients to understand and respond to, which they could do by either uploading the requested document or providing a pre-filled alternative response.

Clients and attorneys can collaborate in real time in this process, after which the attorney reviews the responses and any client notes, signifies anything that needs re-visiting, and eventually when it’s complete, submits the request with any notes or objections to the opposing counsel — all within the platform.

They can then generate a court-admissible Certificate of Compliance and Disclosure History.

The app includes pre-built Discovery Requests and a “builder” for creating custom requests. The case dashboard shows progress on all requests.

The platform also includes a tool for filling and submitting financial affidavits, which — as with Discovery Requests — we organized and designed for a simpler user experience.

All financial affidavits or documents uploaded to requests are saved, organized and searchable in a secure document library for later use.

This project was a beast, and we’re proud of it. We’ve loved working with Anthony, one of the nicest guys in Miami, and look forward to watching this product continue to grow.

Get to the root of the case faster

With a hub for collaborating over documents and leaving notes or objections for the opposing counsel, attorneys and their clients can get to the root of the case faster, at a lower cost — enabling better outcomes and higher throughput.

Each request carries the filed title, filed text, date of service and due date, so assigning a discovery request to a client is a single form — and every item in it is tracked to completion.
