Client portal

Live

Share a matter, a workflow, a document or a draft with the client; they sign in with a one-time link, upload evidence, answer questions and approve drafts.

What you get
  • ✓Scoped shares of a matter, workflow run, contract, case analysis or bundle
  • ✓Magic-link sign-in to the contact's address on file — fifteen minutes, one use
  • ✓Revocation takes effect on the next request; moving a matter to another client revokes its shares
  • ✓Client uploads stored as evidence on the matter

Overview

What it is.

A share gives one client contact a defined scope on one thing — a matter, a workflow run, a contract, a case analysis or a bundle. The contact signs in with a magic link sent to the email address on file, valid for fifteen minutes and usable once; the landing link alone is not a credential. Every portal request re-reads the shares, so revoking one takes effect immediately.

Inside, the client sees progress as labels, statuses and due dates — never internal notes or who is assigned. They can upload documents against an evidence request, answer the questions a workflow asks of them, and approve or ask for changes on a draft you sent them, with the decision recorded against the exact text they were shown. An answer from the client is an unverified fact until a lawyer accepts it, and internal documents such as a hearing brief can never be sent.

How it works

Three steps.
End to end.

01
1. Share

Pick the contact and what they may do: view progress, upload, answer questions, approve a draft.

02
2. Client signs in

A one-use, fifteen-minute link to the contact's email address on file opens a portal session.

03
3. Accept what comes back

Uploads land on the matter as evidence; answers wait for a person to accept them before any due date changes.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Can a client see everything on the matter?

No. They see what the share's scope allows — the documents shared, the progress of shared work, the drafts sent to them. Internal workflows such as hearing preparation are never shared.

Is the downloaded file watermarked?

Not in the portal yet. Downloads use short-lived links.
