Free planning tool for PI & MVA law firms

Define the acquisition handoff your firm needs.

Turn a buying discussion into one usable brief. Choose your requested matters and markets, assign the work before and after delivery, and identify the questions that still need agreement.

Built for managing partners, intake leaders and marketing teams preparing to review an acquisition provider. Use it in an internal planning meeting or take the exported brief into a scope discussion.

No email gateCopy, download or printFirm-level inputs only

Build a brief in three steps.

  1. Choose the scope and monthly volume your firm can review. Leave uncertain answers blank.
  2. Propose owners for screening, intake and signing; specify the records your team needs.
  3. Review the open questions, then copy or download the brief for your team.
Start with your firm’s operating plan.

Inputs stay in this page’s memory. Refreshing or leaving clears them. No sign-up or email is required. Export to keep a copy.

Use firm-level planning information only. Do not enter claimant names, contact details, medical information or case records. Your brief is not attached to the contact link.

Filtering keeps earlier selections. Confirm the firm’s jurisdiction requirements separately.

Screened lead: inquiry ready for the firm’s next intake step. Signed-case handoff: requested signing record, still subject to firm review. Define the exact standard in writing.

Optional whole number, 0–100,000. A review-capacity assumption, not an order or a target number of accepted cases.

Assign proposed responsibilities

Who checks information against the firm’s written criteria?

Who contacts the inquiry, gathers missing information and manages follow-up?

Who coordinates the firm-approved agreement and records its status?

Optional role, such as “intake director.” Use a job title, not a person’s name.

Optional, 1–365 days after delivery. This does not set a provider’s credit or dispute deadline.

Up to 1,000 characters about staffing, review process or scope exclusions. No claimant details or case records.
