SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? New legal matters are often accepted under time pressure without a completed conflict check or limitation analysis, creating professional indemnity exposure and scope creep from day one. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Conflict and Limitation Gates: Enforces a full conflict check across all parties and related entities, plus a limitation period assessment, before any advice is given. - Structured Matter Capture: Records the client, instructing party, counterparties, chronology of events, objectives, documents, filings, other advisers, and funding arrangements. - Explicit Scope Setting: Defines what is in scope, what is out, and the next action with a date to prevent scope creep at intake. - Use Case: A prospective client calls about a dispute. Use this Skill to run the conflict check, confirm limitation dates, capture the full matter record, and set scope before any substantive discussion. ## Quick Start Use the matter intake skill to open a new matter for a client dispute, starting with the conflict and limitation checks.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a conflict check before taking a new legal matter?▼

Check every party, counterparty, related entity, and named individual against the firm's records before giving any advice. The check must complete before substantive discussion, not merely before the engagement letter is sent.

What information should a legal matter intake form capture?▼

Capture the client and instructing party, counterparties, a chronological account of events, the client's objectives, documents held and their location, anything already filed or agreed, other advisers, and funding or insurer details.

Why check limitation periods at matter intake?▼

Establishing the date of events and any running limitation period at intake prevents accepting a matter after limitation has expired, which would expose the firm to a professional indemnity claim.

Can I give preliminary legal advice before the conflict check clears?▼

No. Preliminary advice must wait until the conflict check clears. Giving advice beforehand risks acting for conflicted parties and creates professional liability.

How do I prevent scope creep when onboarding a legal client?▼

Set scope explicitly at intake by stating what is in, what is out, and the next step with a date. Scope creep typically starts at intake when boundaries are left undefined.
