Conflict workflow

No client should move forward until the attorney has enough information to clear conflicts.

The conflict workflow is a trust lever. It tells attorneys they keep veto power before engagement and before sensitive work proceeds.

Conflict-first intake

01

Initial administrative screening

Scale gathers non-legal intake information needed to determine whether the inquiry appears aligned with the attorney's practice area and availability.

02

Conflict-safe summary

The attorney receives a concise summary with party names, matter type, jurisdiction, urgency, and known counterparties where available.

03

Attorney conflict review

The attorney runs their own conflict check and decides whether to accept, decline, request more facts, or wall off the inquiry.

04

Engagement only after clearance

The matter proceeds only after the attorney confirms the conflict check and approves the client relationship.

Attorney veto rights

Decline for any reason

Conflicts, capacity, practice fit, fee sensitivity, client behavior, jurisdiction, urgency, or professional comfort.

Pause for more information

Scale can gather additional administrative facts before the attorney decides.

Restrict sensitive details

The workflow should avoid over-sharing confidential information before conflict clearance whenever practical.
