For preparers and firms

The bottleneck is not your expertise.It is document collection.

You already know what each filing requires. What costs you is getting it out of your clients, keeping track of which version arrived, and knowing at a glance which case is stuck. Prepared Docs makes that part of the work visible and finishable.

The problem

What actually slows a caseload down

Chasing documents is unbillable

The hours go into follow-up messages, not into the work you are actually paid for. It is the part of the job that expands to fill whatever time it is given.

Everything lives in a thread

A document arrives as an attachment in an email, or a photo in a message. Weeks later nobody can say for certain which version was the final one, or whether it ever arrived.

No view across the caseload

Knowing which client is closest to ready, and which has been stalled for a month, means opening files one at a time and reconstructing it from memory.

The answer

What Prepared Docs gives you

Document logistics, which is the part of the work that does not fit in a matter file and does not bill.

One readiness view across every case

Each case carries a score based on confirmed documents, not attachments received. Scan the list and the stalled cases are obvious without opening any of them.

Shared accounts with real scoping

Cases belong to the account, and access follows membership. Bring on a paralegal without handing over everything, and keep client cases separated from each other.

A review step that means something

An uploaded document sits as attached until someone confirms it is correct. The person doing that review is you, which means the score reflects your judgement rather than a client's optimism.

Binders instead of attachments

Assemble a case into an ordered package with sections you define, so what you hand over reads as a considered submission rather than a folder dump.

Blank forms in the same place

Search and open official blank forms without leaving the case you are working on. Editions come from the file itself, not from a list somebody has to remember to update.

Deletion you can stand behind

When a matter closes and a client asks for their file to be removed, deleting the case removes the documents and the stored files with it.

In practice

How it fits your workflow

  1. 1

    Set up the case

    Create a case per client matter and pick the filing. The checklist for that filing is seeded, so the collection list is defined before the first conversation.

  2. 2

    Put the client to work

    The client uploads against named items rather than sending you files with no context. What is outstanding is visible to whoever is looking.

  3. 3

    Review and confirm

    You check each document and confirm it. Wrong file, wrong page, illegible scan: send it back and the item reopens.

  4. 4

    Package and file

    Generate the binder, submit through your usual channel, and mark the case submitted so it leaves your active list.

Where we are

Prepared Docs is early

We would rather tell you that than have you find out. The document workflow described on this page works today, and the firm suite is priced and on the pricing page rather than behind a conversation. If you run filings professionally, we want to shape what comes next around real caseloads.

Firm suite from $49 per person, per month.

Try it on one live matter

Set up a case for something you are working on now. If the collection step does not get easier, it is not for you, and you will know quickly.

Prepared Docs is a document organization tool. It does not provide legal advice and does not create a professional relationship of any kind.
