Instructions & matter records
Record the commissioning party, scope, contacts, deadlines and agreed fees in one matter workspace.
Your customers. Your people. Your work. Your money.
See how they come together for the business you run.
Shared business tools plus the specialist workflows of your profile — and a bespoke edition, tailored completely to your business, when the profile isn’t enough.
Give every instruction a clear home. Keep evidence, source material, drafts, deadlines and fees connected without mixing one client’s documents with another’s.
Designed for independent report writers, expert witnesses and specialist consultancies.
Record the commissioning party, scope, contacts, deadlines and agreed fees in one matter workspace.
Every matter’s documents live in access-controlled storage on UK servers, in your own encrypted book, with versions and a record of who opened and changed what — the basis for meeting UK GDPR and client-confidentiality duties.
Organise reusable guidance, research and templates separately from confidential client evidence; tag sources and record review dates.
Link report sections to source documents, page references and notes so reviewers can follow the reasoning.
Report skeletons kept as precedents, every draft version on file, a review requested and recorded, and an explicit approval before a report can be released.
Track instruction dates, appointments, evidence requests, review milestones and delivery deadlines.
Capture billable time, fixed fees and expenses against the instruction, then prepare the invoice.
Send a report or a bundle as its own link, with its own expiry, its own access log and an immediate revoke. Retention rules per kind of record, and a review before anything is deleted — nothing is ever destroyed on a date. A complete export at any time.
Your records are held on servers in London and stay in the UK, in a book of your own that is never shared with another customer. Storage is encrypted, backups are encrypted and kept in the same region, and every change is written to an audit log with who did it and when. Sign-in uses passkeys, access is role-based and revocable, and a complete export or erasure of a book is exact because the book is a single file. Lila Software Development Ltd is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and acts as your processor under UK GDPR.
