Platform

The operating system for legal work.

A single controlled workflow from intake to submission. One matter model. One set of files. One system for the whole file, not a stack of disconnected tools bolted together.

Architecture

One system. Six operational layers.

Every layer references the same matter model. That is what makes Dovelta feel like infrastructure for legal work rather than a toolchain.

01

Intake layer

Structured client intake per matter type. Data captured once and carried into every downstream step. Questionnaires are part of the file, not a separate product.

02

Matter layer

The matter is the unit of work. Blueprints per immigration matter type define the state model, status, parties, roles, deadlines, and required IRCC documents are all matter-linked.

03

Document layer

Legal document management, evidence libraries, and template building live with the matter. No shared drive sprawl. Access follows the matter, not the user.

04

Workflow & forms layer

Forms and questionnaires are tied to matter state. Workflow gates move the file forward only when the underlying data is actually ready.

05

Collaboration layer

Team assignments, comments, and shared views all reference the matter. Context stays with the file, not in a chat thread or a separate project tool.

06

Submission layer

Package assembly and review gates so a filed matter is demonstrably complete. An audit trail records what went out, when, and by whom.

Capabilities

Legal case management, document management, billing, and trust, all inside one system.

Dovelta brings the operational surface of a full legal practice management system into one controlled workflow. Case management, calendaring, task management, contact management, and team collaboration sit alongside document management, legal billing, trust account management, online payments, time and expense tracking, accounting, and financial reporting, all connected to the matter.

Case management

Legal case management that treats the matter as the unit of work. Status, state, parties, and timeline in one controlled view.

Matter management

Blueprints per immigration matter type drive the state model, roles, deadlines, and required IRCC documents.

Calendaring

Matter-linked calendaring with deadline discipline. Court dates, IRCC submission windows, and internal review gates all reference the file.

Task management

Tasks attached to the matter and the person responsible. Follow-up happens from the file, not a separate checklist tool.

Contact management

Clients, sponsors, employers, translators, and representatives carried once, reused across related matters in a family or sponsorship.

Team collaboration

Internal comments, assignments, and shared matter views. Context stays with the file, not in a chat thread.

Document management

Legal document management and evidence libraries live with the matter. Access follows the matter, not the user.

Legal billing

Matter-level legal billing tied to work actually done on the file. Invoices reconcile against recorded time and expenses.

Time and expense tracking

Time and expense tracking recorded against the matter. No separate spreadsheet, no end-of-month reconciliation drift.

Trust account management

Trust account management aligned to professional obligations. Trust ledgers, retainer application, and reconciliation inside the system.

Online payments

Online payments processed against the matter, applied to the invoice, and reconciled to the trust or operating ledger automatically.

Accounting & financial reporting

Accounting and financial reporting derived from real file activity. Revenue, WIP, and trust balances are outputs of the file, not a second data entry pass.

The Workflow

From first contact to filed package.

Dovelta runs the file from intake to submission in one place. Every step is a state of the matter, not a separate tool.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Structured entry per matter type. Client data captured once.

  2. 02

    Matter setup

    Blueprint-driven matter state. Roles, parties, and status from day one.

  3. 03

    Documents & evidence

    Document management and evidence libraries tied to the matter.

  4. 04

    Forms & questionnaires

    Questionnaires mapped to forms. Workflow gated by completeness.

  5. 05

    Review & submission readiness

    Review gates and package assembly before a file is sent.

  6. 06

    Filed

    Audit trail of what went out, when, and by whom.

Dovelta is built for firms that want to run their files properly, not demo them.
