Conflict checks that run before you ask them to.

Every new matter triggers an automatic cross-reference against your full client-matter database — surfacing relationship chains, adverse parties, and prior representations before the engagement letter goes out.

How it works

Instant cross-reference on every new matter

The moment a new matter is submitted, Docketwright queries your full client-matter database — not just recent matters, not just the attorney's own book. Every client ever represented, every adverse party ever recorded, every prior matter of any type.

Current and former clients screened against new client and adverse party names
Related entity detection — parent companies, subsidiaries, known affiliates
Attorney-level conflict checking across all practice groups simultaneously
Conflict flags routed directly to the responsible partner with matter context attached

Routing and resolution

Flags go to the right person. Not a queue.

When a conflict flag is raised, it's not placed in a general inbox. The system routes the flag to the responsible partner — the attorney who handled the prior matter or the practice group lead — with full context: which prior matter, what the relationship was, and what action is required to clear or escalate.

Partner receives flag with prior matter number, dates, and client relationship summary
One-click clearance if conflict is waivable — logged to matter record automatically
Escalation to managing partner if clearance is not received within a defined window
New matter intake is blocked at engagement letter stage until conflict is resolved

Audit and compliance

Every conflict check is a permanent record.

Law firm malpractice exposure from missed conflicts is well-documented. Docketwright creates a timestamped audit record of every conflict check run — what was searched, when, what was found, who cleared it, and when. That record travels with the matter file.
