Privilege-log preparation support for law firms
Prepare fields and source links for a privilege log while counsel makes every privilege and production decision.

Capture approved fields
Use the firm’s chosen fields for date, author, recipients, document type, subject, custodian, and source identifier. Never invent a privilege category.
Preserve uncertainty
Missing recipients, unclear attachments, and inconsistent dates should be flagged with the source record. A support worker should not fill a gap from context alone.
Keep release with counsel
Counsel reviews descriptions, privilege assertions, and production decisions. The prepared log should make corrections easy and retain its version history.
