Who we serve
Law Firms & Legal Practices
Matters, deadlines, documents and billing run on process - so the practice's hours go into legal judgement, not chasing files and dates.
The starting point
Where you are today
A law practice runs on two unforgiving currencies: deadlines and documents. Court dates, limitation periods and filing windows tracked in diaries and heads; case files spread across email, drives and physical bundles; client documents chased matter by matter; and billing assembled from memory at month-end. Like the CA practices where PASDACS began, the product is professional judgement - and the same playbook applies: standardise the operating process, automate the chasing and assembly, measure the practice, and govern every tool the team touches, with confidentiality and privilege respected by design.
Challenges we commonly see
- Court dates, limitation periods and filing deadlines tracked per lawyer, not per firm.
- Case files and evidence spread across email, drives, physical bundles and personal folders.
- Client documents chased matter by matter, with no completeness view.
- Drafts and versions circulating by attachment, with no single current copy.
- Time capture and billing reconstructed from memory at month-end; collections watched late.
- Staff pasting matter material into ungoverned consumer AI tools.

What we put in place
- A firm-wide deadline calendar - every court date, limitation period and filing window owned, dated and evidenced, with escalation before it is urgent.
- Matter documents collected on schedule without a person doing the chasing - one completeness number per matter.
- One documented operating process per practice area, with review gates before anything leaves the firm.
- A matter workspace - correspondence, filings, evidence and versions in one access-controlled place.
- Practice dashboards - matters, deadlines, work-in-progress, billing and collections in one view.
- Governed AI under privilege - first-draft summaries of judgments, contracts and discovery bundles, always under counsel's review, never on ungoverned consumer tools.

In practice
How we typically help
The opening engagement is a fixed-fee diagnostic of how the practice actually runs - matters, deadlines, documents, billing - and it ends with a prioritised roadmap and one recommended pilot. Most firms start with the deadline calendar plus matter document collection: every date owned and escalated, every checklist chasing itself, and one number per matter - percentage complete.
