Control who on your team can view, edit, or approve each onboarding.

Activity visibility

Every upload, view, and edit is logged. You always know who did what, and when.

Files out of email threads

New Matters Stall on Intake and Missing Documents

You take on a new client and immediately rebuild the same intake, then chase the signed engagement letter, ID, and the records the matter depends on. Requests scatter across email, voicemail, and paper. Meanwhile the conflict check is half done and a deadline is already running.

New client signed, but you are rebuilding intake and chasing the engagement letter, ID, and matter records across email and paper.

Real-time status means nothing sits in someone’s inbox for two weeks.

Better onboarding experience

PM tools vs OnboardMap

Does this replace Asana, Notion, or Monday?

No. Those are internal PM tools for your team. OnboardMap is the recipient-facing layer that runs before the project starts, so by the time work lands in your PM tool, you already have the docs, forms, and access you need.

Can I send and collect signed engagement letters?

Yes. Attach your engagement letter or fee agreement and request acknowledgment or a signature as a step. Clients review it in the portal and complete it before you open the matter.

Can I run conflict-check intake through OnboardMap?

Yes. Use built-in intake forms to capture the parties, opposing parties, and matter details you need to clear conflicts, all in a structured form instead of scattered emails and calls.

Do my legal clients need to create an account?

No. Clients access their portal via a magic link sent by email. No signup, no password, no app to install. They click the link, see their checklist, and start completing steps immediately.

Is document collection secure enough for privileged files?

Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Files go directly to your portal, not email, and every upload is tied to a specific request with an activity log, so nothing gets lost or exposed.

Yes. Every onboarding includes a branded portal link, and you can customize your logo and brand colors for a fully white-labeled client experience.

Does this replace my practice management software?

No. OnboardMap is the client-facing intake you send before the matter opens. It complements Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, or whatever your firm uses internally.

Can clients upload files securely?

Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Files go directly to your portal, not email. You control access, and uploads are tied to specific requests so nothing gets misfiled.
