Every brief should arrive complete. In practice, most don't.

The issue
Briefing still starts in fragments - emails, forwarded PDFs, scattered attachments and missing terms. Valuable time is lost before counsel is even approached, instructions are incomplete, and clients feel the delay without always knowing why.

AuxAttorney’s real solution
AuxAttorney gives you a structured, consistent briefing process every time:

• Complete a guided digital brief template - brief type, rate, payment terms and expiry duration set in one step
• Upload instructions, documents, timelines and fee terms - all attached to the matter record
• Set the court date and advocate instruction clearly before counsel is even approached
• Issue a complete, professionally formatted brief in minutes

The relief
Briefing becomes clear, consistent and fast.

You need to find available counsel quickly, while honouring both the matter’s requirements and your client’s criteria.

The issue
Attorneys have traditionally relied on personal networks, informal calls and fragmented availability checks - all while clients wait for movement. Expertise, seniority, cost and transformation criteria are difficult to apply consistently without a system that shows who is actually available and aligned to the matter.

AuxAttorney’s real solution
AuxAttorney gives you a structured, searchable path to the right counsel:

• Search for a specific advocate by name, or filter by Primary Court, Field of Practice, Seniority, Gender and Race
• Brief one advocate directly or send to multiple simultaneously - the system notifies each instantly via AuxGenie and email
• Your preferred advocate not on Auxcon yet? Invite them directly from the system - they receive the brief and can onboard seamlessly
• Review all responses before appointing - acceptance indicates availability and interest, appointment remains your deliberate decision
• Appointment confirmed digitally, with notifications sent automatically to all other respondents

The relief
You brief with confidence - and without barriers.

The right advocate is reachable, whether they've been on Auxcon for years or receive their first brief today. Counsel selection becomes faster, fairer and fully aligned to the matter.

Disputes rarely start with bad intentions. They start with terms that were never properly recorded.

The issue
In traditional briefing, key terms are often agreed informally or across scattered exchanges. Scope, fees, timelines and expectations can be implied rather than explicit. This lack of early alignment creates room for misunderstanding later - not because anyone acted in bad faith, but because the structure was never there.

AuxAttorney’s real solution
AuxAttorney brings alignment into the briefing moment itself:

• Fee, rate type and payment terms are set at brief stage and visible to the advocate before they accept
• The advocate instruction clearly describes the scope of work - reviewed and agreed before appointment
• Once appointed, the agreed fee becomes the formal rate on record - no ambiguity after the fact
• All instructions, documents and agreed terms remain attached to the matter record as a single, reliable reference point

The relief
Clarity is established before the first appearance, not negotiated after it.

Everyone enters the matter from the same understanding. Terms are on record, scope is agreed, and the brief is on a solid footing - protecting both the attorney-client relationship and the relationship with counsel.

You need a clear, consolidated view of briefing, without adding process or complexity.

The issue
Once a brief is accepted, information fragments. Instructions, documents and agreed terms scatter across emails, inboxes and folders. While legal work progresses independently, attorneys lose a single, reliable reference point for what was briefed, to whom, and on what basis. And as court dates approach, preparation status becomes difficult to track across multiple matters simultaneously.

AuxAttorney’s real solution
AuxAttorney provides a single, structured briefing record:

• Briefs, instructions, documents, and agreed terms remain attached to one matter record
• Track brief status - Pending, Open or Closed - and every advocate response in Brief Management
• The Court Dates tab gives you a consolidated view of all upcoming appearances across your matters
• Monitor Caselines and Practice Notes readiness per matter - toggle preparation milestones as they're reached
• Send a direct email to the appointed advocate from the Court Dates tab without leaving the platform

The relief
You're not chasing preparation updates. The system shows you what's ready and what needs attention - before it becomes a problem in court.

Every brief is on record. Every court date is visible.

You need a clear picture of briefing activity. Not at matter level, but across the firm.

The issue
In a busy firm, multiple attorneys brief counsel every day. Over time, it becomes difficult to see:

• How many briefs are being issued
• Which advocates are being appointed
• Which attorneys are creating exposure
• Where briefing activity is concentrating

Without that visibility, exposure builds quietly. Not because of poor decisions, but because there is no single place to see the whole picture.

AuxAttorney’s real solution
AuxAttorney makes firm-level briefing activity and financial exposure visible:

• Firm leadership can see briefs issued across the firm, based on the firm's structure and access setup
• You can see which attorneys briefed which advocates and under what parameters
• Live Statements gives you a real-time view of all outstanding advocate invoices - grouped by Advocate, Attorney or Matter
• Switch between your own statements and firm-wide statements instantly
• See total overdue amounts, monthly obligations and upcoming payments in one consolidated view
• Filter invoices by status - Overdue, New, Due by Month or Paid - and export any view to Excel
• Send payment communications to advocates directly from the platform, without leaving the system

The relief
You don’t manage matters. You understand the briefing landscape.

Exposure becomes visible early. Oversight becomes practical. Financial obligations are clear before they become overdue. And leadership can act with insight, not hindsight.
