Statute of Limitations Alerts
Potential claims can die quietly when limitation periods are tracked in spreadsheets or someone's memory. This automation calculates statute windows from intake facts, sets milestone alerts, and flags files that need immediate attorney review before time runs out.
How It Works
Capture trigger dates
During intake, the workflow records the incident date, discovery date, jurisdiction, and claim type that control the statute calculation.
Apply the matter rule
The system maps those facts to the firm's statute logic for the relevant practice area and stores the expiration date on the file.
Create staged warnings
Alerts go out at practical intervals such as 90, 30, and 7 days before the deadline, with the core facts attached.
Escalate urgent files
If the matter is still unengaged or missing filing readiness items near the deadline, the workflow escalates to the supervising attorney.
Tools & Platforms
Key Benefits
Prevents missed limitation periods on inbound and active matters Surfaces urgent cases early in intake Creates a defensible audit trail around deadline monitoring Helps firms prioritize follow-up on time-sensitive claims
In Practice
A plaintiff-side employment firm logs a wrongful termination inquiry with a government filing deadline approaching. The automation calculates the remaining time, warns the intake attorney and paralegal, and highlights that the client still needs to sign the engagement letter before the filing packet can go out.
