How do I archive a legal matter and capture the final outcome?

What information needs to be recorded when closing a litigation matter?

Closing a litigation matter requires recording the resolution type, resolution date, final exposure, and lessons learned. You must confirm the matter slug and current status before executing the close workflow.

How does matter closing preserve legal records for portfolio risk calibration?

Matter closing preserves legal records by keeping the closed matter in the portfolio with archival exposure rather than deleting it. The workflow touches the primary matter file to add a Closed section while maintaining the original intake context.

Can I update the history log and matter status simultaneously during resolution?

What resolution types are supported when archiving a legal matter?

Supported resolution types for archiving a legal matter include settlements, dismissals, judgments, withdrawals, and consolidations. Each type requires documenting the final outcome and updating logs to reflect the closed status across the portfolio.

Does closing a matter remove it from the legal portfolio?

Closing a matter does not remove it from the legal portfolio. The record is archived cleanly with archival exposure to ensure it remains available for historical analysis and portfolio risk calibration.
