01
Client-intake handoffs
Trace how a new inquiry moves from first contact to the person who decides what happens next. Look for fragmented channels, unclear ownership, and repeated entry.
Where does the next person get the context they need?
Lainge / Small law firms
Make the work around legal work easier to see.
A focused workflow assessment for U.S. small law firms. Examine how work moves through intake, matter setup, and document collection—then decide what, if anything, is worth discussing next.
Self-guided and directional. The assessment is not a commitment to a review or a pilot.

Three useful places to look
Start with a workflow your team already knows.
The assessment is designed to surface the connective work between people, tools, and decisions—not to replace legal judgment or ask you to redesign the whole firm.
02
Matter setup and opening
Map the work after a client is accepted and before a matter is ready to run: gather known information, create the matter, assign ownership, and establish next actions.
What gets copied, checked, or handed off more than once?
03
Documents and missing information
See where requested documents are scattered across the workflow, how missing items are followed up, and how the team knows a packet is ready for the next step.
How does the team know what is still missing—and who owns it?
Important boundaries
Useful workflow detail. No confidential case detail.
Use general descriptions of how work moves through the firm. Leave out confidential client records, names, identifying details, credentials, account or workspace IDs, and other sensitive specifics.
What this is
A workflow assessment and implementation discussion about steps, handoffs, ownership, approved tools, and human review.
What this is not
Legal advice, legal conclusions, compliance certification, or a guarantee of a particular result. Human judgment stays with your firm.
A deliberate next step
The path stays clear at every stage.
- 01 / Start here
Complete the professional-services assessment
Describe one workflow in general terms. The existing assessment returns a directional shortlist and a practical pilot starting point.
Start the assessment - 02 / Only if useful
Choose whether to request a separate fit review
The assessment alone does not request contact or commit you to an engagement. After completing it, the optional fit-review form is a separate choice.
See the assessment path - 03 / When appropriate
Discuss a bounded, fixed-fee pilot
If a fit is worth discussing, the existing pilot path keeps scope, human review, exclusions, and fee explicit before any work begins. Nothing starts automatically.
Review the pilot path
Ready when you are
Describe one workflow. Keep the decision yours.
Start with the existing professional-services assessment, then choose whether an optional fit review or fixed-fee pilot conversation makes sense.
