Every matter, deadline and decision in one place.
DENIS KAKEETO ADVOCATES runs its legal work online: matters, court dates, deadlines, documents, time and billing. Every important step is checked against who is allowed to take it, and every client follows their own matters in a private portal.
New to the firm? Create an account. The firm approves it before you can sign in.
The firm's day-to-day work, from intake to invoice.
One system for advocates, clerks, the firm administrator and clients. Each person signs in with their own account and sees only what their role allows.
Matters and intake
A five-step intake opens each matter, with a required conflict check against existing clients and opposing parties. A conflict stops the matter from opening.
Court diary and deadlines
Hearings with court, judge, appearing advocate and a preparation checklist. Deadlines are graded normal, important or critical, and the responsible person is notified.
Tasks with authority classes
Assign work to colleagues with a class (A, B or C), priority and deadline. Tasks move through pending, in progress, blocked and done.
Time and invoicing
Time is logged at each advocate's own rate. Invoices are built from unbilled time, approved by a partner, issued to the client and tracked until paid.
Documents and review
Draft in the editor or upload files. Each upload is fingerprinted, reviewed by someone other than the author, and filed only by a partner.
Messages and notifications
Each matter has an internal conversation and a client conversation. People are notified, in the app and by email, when something affects them.
Nothing important happens without the right person's sign-off.
Work is sorted into three authority classes, and the server enforces them on every request. The acting person always comes from their own signed-in account.
Filing a document with the court and approving an invoice for issue.
Drafting, reviewing, internal coordination and client communication.
Research and first drafts, always reviewed before they go further.
A document's path
Nobody reviews their own document. Once submitted, its content is locked; the reviewer approves it or returns it with a reason.
An invoice's path
Billed time is never invoiced twice. Issued invoices can't be edited, and clients only ever see issued and paid invoices.
Follow your matter without chasing your lawyer.
When you instruct DENIS KAKEETO ADVOCATES, the firm invites you to a private portal. It shows your own organisation's work and nothing else.
- Each matter's stage, court, legal team and next court date
- Documents the firm has approved for you, ready to download
- A conversation with your legal team for every matter
- Issued invoices and what is still outstanding
One sign-in, the right view for each person.
