Deadlines mapped, milestones planned
The Matter Management Agent extracts dates and deadlines from a matter and maps them to CPR, tribunal, and regulatory timelines. It backward-plans the milestones, flags at-risk dates, and produces status reports — so nothing on the timetable is missed.
The CPR deadline nobody backward-planned.
A matter's timetable is a web of CPR steps, tribunal dates, and regulatory deadlines, each with its own lead time and dependencies. Tracked in someone's head or a personal calendar, a single missed step can derail the whole matter.
What goes wrong
- A CPR or tribunal deadline missed because it was never mapped or planned back
- Milestones tracked in personal calendars, invisible to the supervising partner
- A client update held up because pulling the status together takes too long
From your question to a governed answer
Not a black box. Every step is visible, checkable, and governed. Here's exactly what happens when you use the Matter Management.
The agent connects to the matter
It reads the correspondence, documents, orders, and filings, and builds a baseline picture of the parties, issues, and timetable.
Key dates are extracted
Court dates, filing deadlines, contractual milestones, and limitation periods are pulled from the documents, with new dates caught as they arrive.
Dates are mapped to the right timeline
Each deadline is mapped to the applicable CPR, tribunal, or regulatory timeline, so the procedural framework is correct.
Milestones are backward-planned
From the fixed dates, the agent plans back the preparation milestones with their lead times and dependencies.
At-risk dates are flagged and verified
Dates with no action assigned or a tight runway are flagged, and statutory deadlines are checked against current legislation by the Legal Citation Verifier.
Reports are ready on demand
Client-ready or internal status reports generated from the current data, every date traceable to its source document.
Governance pipeline for every output
Every matter management output flows through the same three-stage pipeline.

In practice
Real scenarios, real outcomes
How different roles in your firm would use the Matter Management — with specific scenarios and governed outcomes.
Scenario
Running twenty-five active matters and needing to know which have court deadlines coming up.
Governed outcome
A portfolio dashboard: four matters with deadlines in the next fourteen days, each mapped to its CPR step, clickable to the source order.
Scenario
Introducing matter-management KPIs and needing reliable deadline-compliance data.
Governed outcome
Analytics across practices on deadline compliance and matter duration, drawn from the data rather than self-reported.
Scenario
A new order sets a fresh disclosure deadline that needs planning back.
Governed outcome
The deadline mapped to the CPR timeline and the preparation milestones backward-planned, with at-risk dates flagged.
What makes this different
Built for legal work, not relabelled for it
Mapped to the right procedural timeline
Deadlines are mapped to CPR, tribunal, or regulatory rules, not a generic calendar.
Backward-planned, not just listed
Preparation milestones are planned back from the fixed dates with their lead times.
Every date traceable
Each date and status point links to the document it came from, ready to share.
Built on our own legal database
The Matter Management checks every output against BAILII, legislation.gov.uk, EUR-Lex, and our own legal database — a curated, constantly updated source we built in-house for faster checking. It's our own work, and it lets us cross-reference across jurisdictions in ways the public sources can't on their own.
Built-in governance
How Verify, Comply, Prove works for the Matter Management
Every agent on LegalAI Space runs through the same three steps. Here's exactly what that means for matter management outputs.
Every date checked against the document
Every date and milestone traces back to, and is checked against, the document it came from. Statutory deadlines are confirmed against current law.
- Court dates checked against published listings and filed orders
- Statutory deadlines checked on legislation.gov.uk for currency
- Contract dates cross-checked against the relevant agreement
- CPR and tribunal timelines confirmed against the current procedural rules
Supervision checked against SRA standards
From the matter's activity, the Regulatory Compliance Check looks at whether supervision meets SRA expectations. Critical deadlines are tracked, not assumed.
- Are all the critical CPR and tribunal deadlines tracked and actioned?
- Is the supervising partner engaging with the matter?
- Are client updates going out at the right intervals?
- Are identified risks being escalated as they should be?
Every summary traces to its source
Every line in a status report traces back to a specific document, email, or order. There are no black-box summaries.
- Each date linked to the document it came from
- Status claims linked to the source correspondence or filing
- Milestone plans linked to the fixed dates they were planned from
- Every extraction timestamped against the data available at the time
