Checked for conflicts before anyone gives advice
An inquiry arrives from your intake form, your website or a referral, already naming the other people involved. The conflict check runs before the engagement does.
Your Intake Form
On your website, each answer a lead on your intake pipeline.
Every Name Searched
Parties, contacts, aliases and related companies, on every matter past and present and every open lead.
Cleared, Waived or Declined
A waiver is decided by the person your approval routing names. Every check is kept.
No Matter Before It Clears
By default a matter opens only on a cleared or waived check. The rule is your setting.
The check is clear. Now the client agrees to the terms.
The scope, the fees and the terms, in one link
The client reads the letter and signs it, and confirms who they are while they sign. The signed letter opens the matter.
Written Once
The scope, the fee arrangement and your terms, priced from your own rates.

An identity check, or identity and anti-money-laundering screening, as your setting and your country say.
The Matter Opens Itself
With its number by your scheme, and the lead’s parties already on it.
Every Letter Tracked
Sent, opened, signed or waiting, on the lead it answers.
Its parties, its credits and its wall, on one page
Each matter carries its number, practice area and responsible attorney, and everything that happened on it.
Every Party by Role
Client, counterparty, lender, co-counsel and every related company.
Origination Credit
Who brought it in, who is responsible and who worked on it, with shares.
The Ethical Wall
Keep named people out, or let only named people in. It applies to the matter’s time, documents, messages, closing and invoices.
Every Conversation
The firm’s conversations with the client and your own mail, calls and meetings, beside the matter.
Every fee arrangement, reviewed before it is billed.
Hourly in tenths, fixed fees, retainers and success fees, with a cap on what a matter ever bills and the bill split between payers.
Time where the work happens, billed the way you agreed
A Timer on Every Page
Rounded to six minutes when your setting says so, for any matter.
The Pre-Bill
Write down, defer or mark non-billable, keeping the original.

A share of the deal value, and a ceiling on what the matter bills.
Split Billing
Co-clients, or a buyer and a seller, each billed their share.
Research From the Matter
Your own research provider, opened with the client-matter number, its costs imported as disbursements.
A ledger for every client and every matter. Never overdrawn.
Trust, escrow and client accounts, each with its own currency, and every entry on the client’s and the matter’s own ledger.
Received for the Client
Retainers and deposits for a closing, on the client’s ledger.

Questions about Calisto Legal
No. It runs the business of a transactional practice, corporate transactions and real-estate closings, and of an in-house legal department. Court deadlines, docketing, e-filing and e-billing standards are not part of it, and your research tool stays your own: the matter opens it with the client-matter number.
Not by default. A matter opens on a cleared or waived conflict check, and a waiver is decided by the person your approval routing names. Whether a check is required is your setting.
In trust accounts with a ledger for each client and each matter. A payout larger than what a client holds is refused, and a three-way reconciliation is prepared and signed off on the schedule your country expects.
No. Mail, Inbox, Voice and Live are each their own seat, given to the people who need them. A Legal seat gives a person Legal.
