Conflict Check Automation
Manual conflict checks break down when names arrive in different formats or intake is moving quickly. This automation compares new parties against matter history, current clients, and related entities so firms can stop a conflict issue before work begins.
How It Works
Gather all relevant names
The intake form collects the client, opposing parties, company aliases, family members, and other names likely to matter in a conflict review.
Search across firm records
Those names are matched against existing clients, former matters, adverse parties, and related contacts stored across the practice system.
Flag likely matches
Potential conflicts are grouped by confidence with source matter links so staff can review the exact overlap quickly.
Pause engagement if needed
If a likely conflict appears, the workflow blocks the engagement packet until an attorney resolves the issue.
Tools & Platforms
Key Benefits
Catches conflicts earlier in the intake process Reduces reliance on one staff member's memory Links reviewers directly to prior related matters Prevents accidental engagement before clearance
In Practice
A business litigation firm receives a new matter against a regional contractor. The automation finds that a different office represented that contractor in a prior employment case, alerts the intake attorney, and holds the engagement letter until the conflict analysis is complete.
