Key dates from client contracts and leases

Clients stop missing break dates and notice periods, and the follow-on work comes back to you. Every key date in the documents you act on, tracked and reminded.

How it runs

What we build, step by step.

This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.

  1. 01

    Key dates pulled from the document

    Break dates, rent reviews, renewal and notice deadlines, option windows and expiry, each with the clause it came from.

  2. 02

    Confirmed by a lawyer at completion

    Each date is checked before it's tracked, so the client never relies on an unchecked reading.

  3. 03

    One register across the firm

    Every confirmed date against its client and matter, sortable by month.

  4. 04

    Reminders to the client

    A note well before the date and another closer in, offering to help. The wording is yours.

  5. 05

    A heads-up to the responsible lawyer

    So they can ring the client before the date, not after it.

Built for your business

Same job, different business. We build yours.

Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.

  • Your steps

    Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.

  • Your software

    Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.

  • Your rules

    Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.

You sign off

Your team keeps the final say.

A lawyer confirms every date and its clause before it goes in the register. Reminders say what the date is. Advice on what to do about it comes from the lawyer.

What it's worth

What those hours add up to.

2 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 92 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s

back in the business, every year.

Typical, not promised.

Before and after

The job, before and after.

How it runs today

The firm acts on a lease or a supply agreement, the matter closes, and the break clause, rent review or renewal notice sits in a PDF. Three years later the client misses it, or remembers just in time and calls whichever firm comes up first.

A month in

Clients hear about the dates that cost them money before they pass, and the firm gets the follow-on instruction instead of losing it to whoever the client finds first.

FAQ

What if a key date depends on a condition?

A conditional date is flagged with the clause quoted, and a lawyer sets the date by hand before it goes in the register.

Can we load old leases and contracts too?

Yes. Past leases and contracts can be read in batches, and a lawyer confirms each key date before it's added.
