About This Automation

Matter intake, conflict checks, and KYC verification are critical but time-consuming tasks that require manual searching across multiple databases and systems. Errors or missed conflicts expose the firm to ethical violations and regulatory risk.

Automation extracts client data from intake forms, searches internal conflict records and external compliance lists simultaneously, and flags issues for attorney review. This reduces intake time from to per matter while ensuring no conflicts or compliance red flags are missed.

Key features
Extract client and matter details automatically from intake emails and forms
Search internal conflict database and opposing party records in real time
Cross-reference client names against OFAC and regulatory KYC lists
Flag incomplete submissions and request missing information via email
Route approved matters to practice management system with billing codes assigned
Generate audit trail documenting all conflict and compliance checks

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Client Intake Form Submittedtrigger

New client inquiry arrives via email, web form, or phone. The automation is triggered and captures the client contact details.

2. Extract and Validate Client Data

The automation reads the intake form, extracts client name, entity type, contact details, matter type, and opposing parties. It validates email and phone formats.

3. Search Internal Conflict Database

The automation queries the firm's matter database and client list for any prior relationships with the client, opposing parties, or related entities.

4. Check External KYC and Sanctions Lists

The automation cross-references the client name against OFAC, PEP lists, and regulatory databases to identify compliance red flags.

5. Create Matter Record

A new matter record is created with all extracted client data, conflict results, and KYC status.

6. Notify Partner for Review

A notification is sent to the assigned partner with a summary of conflict and KYC findings, flagging any issues for manual review.

7. Send Engagement Letter

Once the partner approves, the engagement letter and onboarding documents are automatically sent to the client.

8. Log Completion

A confirmation message is posted to the intake channel, marking the matter as onboarded and ready for work.
