Frequently asked questions
Is this a section about court procedure?
No. It covers law firm organisation and operations: matter intake, tasks, review, communication and handovers.
Does an internal process replace a lawyer's assessment?
No. Checklists and statuses help coordinate work but do not decide acceptance, conflicts, client instructions or legal time limits.
