Attorneys
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
Software scales preparation. Professionals sell judgment. The person keeps the matter. The professional brings judgment. Briefcase makes the exchange work.
The problem
Limited-scope work can be valuable to a client and uneconomic for a professional when intake, scoping, document collection, drafting, scheduling, and payment consume the engagement.
What Briefcase does
Professionals join free for well-prepared, flat-fee limited-scope engagements at a transparent price. Anonymized matter overviews surface contingency and hybrid representation opportunities based on practice focus and matching. Briefcase makes the full engagement more efficient, from conflicts and scope through delivery and payment.
“Is this a fee split or a paid lead?”
Briefcase charges a flat technology fee and never takes a percentage of legal fees. The structure is built to mitigate fee-sharing risk under jurisdiction-specific rules. The limited-scope catalog and anonymized representation-opportunity flow are separate, and the professional chooses every engagement.
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, receive prepared matters in an authorized review queue once a structured overview is ready, run its own work, collaborate with clients in a permissioned space, and use grounded drafting across the engagement. The professional overlay adds network participation and waives the per-engagement technology fee.
“Why add another system to the practice?”
Start on new matters; the old book stays where it is. The proof is one real matter from intake through delivery.
The record
Less time reconstructing context, more time applying judgment: prepared clients, matters that fit, and engagements that are efficient from conflicts and scope through 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.
