Law firms
Matters with parties, deadlines on the court calendar, billable time and conflict checks, all tied to the firm's calendar.
Everyday reality
In a law firm, the deadline lost in a spreadsheet is the one that costs the most.
01 · Today
Deadlines scattered across personal diaries and spreadsheets
Every lawyer tracks deadlines their own way: a personal diary, a phone alert, a shared spreadsheet. When a matter changes hands, it all has to be rebuilt.
With Farol
Deadlines recorded on the matter and visible in the calendar of whoever handles it. When the matter changes hands, the deadline follows.
Deadlines02 · Today
Hours worked that never reach the fee note
The work gets done, but logging the time always waits for later. At the end of the month, the fee note comes in short and nobody knows by how much.
With Farol
Time recorded per matter, with a timer and approval before it reaches the fee note.
Billable time03 · Today
New clients taken on without checking for conflicts of interest
A new client arrives, the case looks interesting and the matter is opened. Only later does someone notice the firm already represents the other side.
With Farol
Conflict checks against the parties already recorded on the firm's matters, before the new client is accepted.

Client confidentiality and professional secrecy
Matters, parties and documents are confidential information about your clients. In Farol they stay behind role-based access, field-level visibility and a record of who opened each document, in a database hosted in the European Union.
The Services Complete add-on adds fees, retainers, client accounts, conflict checks, KYC/AML and the court calendar.
