Attorneys & Legal Professionals
Start with prepared clients. Find matters that fit your practice. Handle more work profitably.
Software scales preparation. Professionals sell judgment. A professional network built on prepared clients, transparent scope, and a flat technology fee.
The professional network
The person keeps the matter. The professional brings judgment. Briefcase makes the exchange work.
The problem
Limited-scope work is valuable to a client and uneconomical for a professional. Intake, scoping, document collection, drafting, scheduling, and payment consume the engagement.
What Briefcase does
Professionals join free. Each flat-fee limited-scope engagement arrives prepared, at a transparent price. Anonymized matter overviews surface contingency and hybrid representation opportunities that fit the practice. Briefcase makes the full engagement more efficient, from conflicts and scope through delivery and payment.
Running the practice's own matters
Run your matters and take limited-scope work on one platform.
The same platform that prepares a client runs a solo practice's or a firm's own matters end to end.
The problem
Intake, client context, deadlines, collaboration, drafting, execution, and the system of record live in separate tools, and the professional reconciles them by hand on every matter.
What Briefcase does
A team account with legal-work controls lets a practice guide intake and receive prepared matters in a review queue once the overview is ready. It runs the practice's own work, collaborates with clients in a permissioned space, and grounds drafting across the engagement. The professional overlay joins the practice to the network and waives the per-engagement technology fee.
Allied, investigative, and expert professionals
Bring your discipline to a prepared matter.
A matter needs more than law. Paralegals and licensed paraprofessionals, investigators, forensic and valuation specialists, domain experts, and interpreters each bring their own discipline into the record, within the role and jurisdiction that permits it.
The problem
The facts, figures, and specialist opinion a matter turns on are gathered piecemeal, briefed from memory, and reconstructed for every professional who joins.
What Briefcase does
Every professional enters the same prepared matter through a scoped engagement, with identity, credential or license, jurisdiction, conflicts, and scope verified first and the discipline and limits of the work stated on the profile. Flat-fee limited-scope engagements at a transparent price, on the same terms as the network's attorneys. The work enters the record as fact and opinion in the professional's own field, and the person or their counsel decides how it is used.
The record
Less time reconstructing context, more time applying judgment.
Prepared clients, matters that fit, and one place for conflicts, scope, delivery, and payment.
The legal profession cannot solve these problems alone. The public needs innovative models for delivering competent legal services, and such models require the knowledge and expertise of other kinds of professionals, such as technologists and experts in the design of efficient and user-friendly services.
