AUTOMATED
ENGAGEMENT LETTERS

The smarter way to engage

Automated engagement letters

Streamline client onboarding with Clarilis by automating your firm’s engagement, retainer, fee proposal, holding and scope letters. 

A clearly drafted letter of engagement that sets out your scope of work and terms is critical for risk management, client experience, and fee recovery. With Clarilis, everyone drafts from the most up-to-date templates, delivered through a straightforward interface.

Firms that chose Clarilis to automate their Engagement Letters achieve the following:

  Governance
      Remove risk and ensure adherence to firm policy and procedures

  Efficiency
      Dramatically reduce the time taken to onboard clients

  Agility
      Ensure everyone on the team is using the most up-to-date versions of all client documents

Issue your engagement letters faster by making the process pain free for your team

These automations move fast!

Firmwide engagement letters are some of our most frequently amended automations. They need to keep pace with changes in regulation, your evolving practice and feedback from your team.

They may look simple in isolation, but combining all practice areas, matter types, jurisdictions, fee arrangements, team details and scope permutations results in a lot of moving parts.

Clarilis solves this centrally. Instead of creating a maintenance burden for your team, our managed approach ensures that your updates propagate across the firm promptly and without the additional administrative burden this usually creates.

Clarilis Engagement Letters

In addition to your core engagement letter, why not automatically include up-to-date versions of any relevant enclosures within the automation (e.g. terms of business, privacy notices, client due diligence forms etc.). Ensure that the latest versions are used and users are being prompted to share all relevant enclosures with clients.

Engagement letter automations typically include:

  • Engagement letters (general retainer, standalone)
  • Scope letters
  • Holding letters
  • Fee proposal letters
  • Terms of business
  • Privacy notices
  • Client due diligence forms
