Matter workflow automation

The matter moves. You don't babysit it.

Docketwright automates the workflow every mid-size law firm runs by hand — conflict screening, engagement letter routing, and deadline tracking that never slips — from intake through close.

Three workflows. One system.

The three workflows that stall every matter.

Conflict check, engagement letter, filing deadline — the three points in a matter lifecycle where things fall through the cracks without anyone noticing until too late. Docketwright handles all three.

Conflict Check

Screen every new matter against your full client roster in seconds, not hours. Auto-flag relationship chains the paralegal would have missed.

Engagement Letter

Draft, route, and track engagement letters without chasing partners for signatures. Matter doesn't open until the letter is countersigned.

Deadline Management

Filing deadlines, response windows, and court dates tracked with rule-based escalation — not a calendar reminder that someone snoozes.

Conflict Screening

From new matter request to cleared conflicts in minutes

The moment a new matter is opened, Docketwright queries your existing client-matter database, surfaces relationship chains, and routes flagged conflicts to the responsible partner — without a paralegal running the check manually.

Engagement Routing

Engagement letters that route themselves

Template selection, partner assignment, client delivery, and countersignature tracking — all logged in the matter record. Late-stage discovery that the engagement letter never went out ends here.

Deadline Management

Deadlines with memory

Court rules, statutory windows, and firm-specific SLAs encoded once and applied every time. Escalation paths activate automatically when a deadline approaches unacknowledged.

From the field

What operational teams say

"We were spending the first hour of every Monday morning chasing conflict check status emails. Docketwright made that an automated notification instead. The partner doesn't see it unless there's a flag to review."

Managing Partner
DC-area litigation firm, ~40 attorneys

"Legal ops visibility into matter status used to require pulling reports. Now I have a live dashboard that tells me exactly where every matter is in the intake-to-active pipeline. That changes how I plan staffing."

Director of Legal Operations
Regional full-service firm, 4 practice groups

"The deadline escalation alone is worth it. I used to set four different calendar reminders on filing dates. Now Docketwright escalates automatically if an associate hasn't acknowledged the deadline within 48 hours."
