matter-intake

To standardize a new litigation matter intake, collect parties, dispute type, our role, forum, mediation prerequisites, conflicts-check status, risk triage, materiality, owners, legal hold, and key deadlines. This ensures records remain comparable across matters for ongoing handling.

A conflicts check in case logging records cleared, pending, not-run, or waived status with clearing party and controlled entities. Legal hold captures evidence preservation status, both acting as security gates to ensure operational readiness before opening a new matter.

Logging arabuluculuk mediation prerequisites involves capturing the mediation status and settlement-tutanak date during intake. This records whether mediation prerequisites were met before proceeding to court or arbitration forum.

Opening a new legal case portfolio entry requires creating matter.md and history.md files, appending a structured row to matters/_log.yaml, and generating a slug. This produces an initial legal posture hypothesis for further verification.

Litigation intake can proceed without a cleared conflicts check, but it triggers a security gate when the status is not-run. The intake records the conflicts status as pending, not-run, or waived rather than blocking the matter creation entirely.

Legal matter intake captures response and objection periods, hearing and inspection dates, limitation and hard deadlines, as well as the mediation settlement-tutanak date. Recording these timing items ensures all critical statutory and procedural deadlines are tracked from the start.
