Every case handled the same careful way.

From new enquiry to closed file, wrk.wise gives every step an owner and keeps a record of who did what, and when.

The problem

The conflict check was “probably done.”

Firm procedures live in partners' heads and old emails. When work gets busy, steps get skipped, and nobody finds out until it matters.

Sound familiar?
New enquiries get a reply before anyone runs a conflict check.
Fee quotes go out before a partner has seen them.
Research requests always land on the same associate.
Drafts wait days for a partner's review.
Internal deadlines slip, and nobody notices until the client calls.

A skipped step stays invisible until it's the one that matters.

How wrk.wise fixes it

Build it once and run it every case.

Your firm already has its procedures. In wrk.wise, the plan becomes the process: once someone starts it, wrk.wise creates the tasks, assigns them and moves the work from step to step. Here's what that looks like across one case.

New enquiry

The front office logs the enquiry. A conflict check task goes to the conflicts team before anyone replies to the client.

Steps in order

Conflict check

If the check comes back clear, the engagement letter task starts. If there’s a possible conflict, it goes to the managing partner first.

If/Else routing

Engagement

Every fee quote goes to a partner for approval before it reaches the client, with the scope and estimate attached.

Approvals with details

The work

New research requests are shared out by round robin, so one associate doesn’t carry every case.

Round robin

Review and deadlines

Drafts show on the supervising partner’s Watchlist. The assignee gets a reminder before a step is due; moving a deadline needs a reason and an approval.

Reminders and Watchlist

Closing the file

Every step is on record: who did it, and when. At review time, associates get credit for the work they actually did.

FAQ

Questions law firms ask about SOP software

What is SOP software for law firms?

It turns your firm's procedures into tasks with an owner, a deadline and a set order. In wrk.wise, the engagement letter task only starts once the conflict check before it is done, and every step keeps a record of who did it.

Does wrk.wise replace our practice management software?

No. Practice management software holds your cases, documents and billing. wrk.wise runs the firm's procedures around them: intake, conflict checks, approvals, reviews and deadlines. The two work side by side.

Who can see client information in wrk.wise?

Only the people you allow. wrk.wise has access controls, so you decide who can see tasks and the client details inside them.

Can partners approve from their phones?

Yes. wrk.wise has a mobile app, so partners can review and approve requests away from their desks.

Can we start with one practice area?

Yes. Start with the procedure that gets skipped most often, such as new client intake. Add more once it runs smoothly.
