Legal Front Door

One front door for legal. Full visibility for leadership.

Every request the business sends to legal, captured, triaged, and routed in one place. Your team works one clear queue. You see volume, demand, and risk across the whole function.

However it arrives, Checkbox captures, triages, and routes it. One front door, not five inboxes.

Why now

Legal demand keeps growing. Headcount doesn’t.

More requests, through more channels, every year. Without a front door, legal becomes the routing layer.

More channels Growing organisations New regulation AI & new risk

The forces driving demand keep compounding. The team absorbing them doesn’t. A front door closes the gap, so your lawyers aren’t the routing layer.

How it works

Reaching legal, without the hallway ambush.

The business gets help from the tools they already live in. No new portal to learn, no guessing who to email, no cornering a lawyer by the coffee machine. They ask where they already work, and it’s captured and routed for them.

Why legal front doors are different

Most teams think they have a legal front door. They actually have an intake channel.

Shared inboxes, forms, and ticketing systems capture requests. A legal front door manages everything after, from triage and routing to automation, self‑service, and visibility.

A form captures a request. A legal front door manages demand.

The difference isn’t where requests enter. It’s what happens after they arrive.

“We were doing the work, but we didn’t have the data to show it. Checkbox gave us a centralized way to handle intake, so we could finally see the volume and source of requests and plan resourcing accordingly.”

FAQ

Questions legal leaders ask

We go into the full architecture on the call. These are the short answers.

Checkbox is built for regulated, security-conscious legal teams, with enterprise controls, audit trails, and regional data hosting. We walk through your specific requirements on the call.

The front door sits on top of the channels your business already uses, so there is nothing new for requesters to learn. Most teams are live in weeks, not quarters.

No. It connects email, Slack, Teams, and your downstream systems, then adds the triage, routing, automation, and reporting layer they were never built to provide.

Volume by team and request type, turnaround times, automation rate, and where risk concentrates, all in a live view you can take to the board.
