Firm-Wide Conflict Engine

Check the whole firm.
Before you accept.

Run a shared conflict-check system across a law firm's offices that flags potential conflicts before a new matter is accepted. Built on Civil Registry, Compliance Attestations, and Role-Based Access Control, the network maintains one access-controlled record of client relationships across every office, so a firm-wide check completes before intake rather than after.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Unite each office's separate client database into one shared, access-controlled conflict register checked before intake.

01.

Shared Client Registry

Every office writes its client and matter relationships to one Civil Registry, so a conflict check runs against the entire firm instead of a single office's local list.

02.

Pre-Intake Screening

A prospective client is screened against the firm-wide registry before the matter is accepted, catching a conflict at the moment it can still be avoided.

03.

Adverse Party Mapping

The registry maps clients to their adverse parties and associated entities, so a new matter against an existing client anywhere in the firm is flagged even across offices.

04.

Confidential Access Control

Role-Based Access Control lets an office confirm that a conflict exists without exposing the confidential client details behind it, preserving privilege across the firm.

05.

Attested Clearance

When a matter clears, Compliance Attestations record the conflict check as completed, so acceptance rests on a verifiable clearance rather than an email thread.

06.

Firm-Wide Audit Trail

Every check, flag, and clearance is logged, so risk partners and regulators see a complete record of how conflicts were screened before intake.

The Conflict Check Lifecycle

Follow a single prospective matter from a firm-wide screen to a flagged conflict and an attested clearance before acceptance.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes firm-wide conflict checking into modular contracts. Each layer registers relationships, screens prospects, gates confidential detail, and attests clearance without any single office controlling the record.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Firm-wide conflict checking is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors in a multi-office practice put the shared register to work.

Multi-Office Law Firms

Screen every prospective matter against the whole firm before intake, replacing siloed office databases with one shared, access-controlled conflict register.

Risk & General Counsel

Confirm a conflict exists without seeing another office's privileged detail, and hold a verifiable trail of every check and clearance for the whole firm.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging each office's legacy practice-management system or capturing intake from a partner's device, Cerulea routes both into one shared conflict register.

Track A: Practice System Bridging

For firms on legacy practice-management software. Existing client and matter records are translated into signed on-chain relationships through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Partner Intake Capture

For partners running intake from their own devices. A wallet-signed app submits each screen and clearance directly to the shared register.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects legal practice-tech integration benchmarks. Unifying each office's client database, building custom firm-wide screening, and shipping privilege-preserving access control for an average firm takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your screening and access rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared conflict register and review layer instantly.
