Amaya for Legal

The detail is the matter

A consultation turns on a date, a name, a figure and an undertaking. Amaya keeps every one of them, in an attendance note written while you were listening to the client rather than typing.

What it captures

What Amaya listens for in a consultation

The things an attendance note exists to hold — recorded while they are said, not reconstructed afterwards from memory.

  1. 01

    Parties

    Who is on which side

    Client, opposite party, and anyone else named — kept straight across a long consultation where the same surname appears three times.

  2. 02

    Dates

    Every date that was mentioned

    Notice dates, deed dates, hearing dates, the date limitation runs from. Pulled out where a date is the whole question.

  3. 03

    Instructions

    What the client actually instructed

    Kept separate from the facts they described, because an instruction and an account of events are different things on the file.

  4. 04

    Undertakings

    What was undertaken, and by when

    Anything anybody committed to — yours, the client's, the other side's — with the deadline against it.

How it files it

Filed by matter, not by call

Three consultations on one matter belong together. Every recording is filed under the fields a practice searches by.

  1. 01Client name
  2. 02The matter, so a year of consultations sits in one place
  3. 03Matter category — partition, NI Act s.138, matrimonial, consumer, service
  4. 04Jurisdiction and court
  5. 05The advocate or firm on record

Who it’s for

Who this is for

Practices where what was said is the file.

  1. Advocates in chambers

    An attendance note for every consultation, written as it happened, without a junior in the room taking it down.

  2. Small firms

    Hand a matter to whoever is free. The notes are complete enough that they do not have to ring the client to ask what was agreed.

  3. In-house counsel

    Instructions, undertakings and dates from the meetings you are pulled into — kept on the matter instead of in your inbox.

Your next consultation could write its own note
