Consultations

Turn Every Consultation into a Knowledge Asset for the Firm

Many legal consultations are discussed verbally or through scattered messages, then become difficult to revisit when a dispute or similar question arises. When topics recur, lawyers lose time reanalyzing them instead of building on the firm’s prior experience.

LAWMAX’s Consultations Module records the consultation request, scope of assignment, documents, legal opinion, and approved version, and links them to the client, contract, or case. Appropriate access permissions and confidentiality levels are applied so knowledge remains available only to users entitled to view it.

What Does the Module Display / Manage?

  • Consultation request data and the client or requesting entity.
  • Consultation subject, classification, and scope of assignment.
  • Receipt date, expected response date, and status.
  • Associated documents, meetings, and correspondence.
  • Approved version of the opinion and whether it is internal or deliverable.
  • Recommendations and tasks resulting from the consultation.
  • Confidentiality level and viewing permissions.

Questions This Module Answers

  • What previous consultations exist on a similar subject?
  • What opinion was issued, and who reviewed and approved it?
  • Did the consultation result in a task or action?
  • What documents formed the basis of the opinion?
