You go home. The matter keeps working.
This is one night on one matter, from the moment you close your laptop to the moment you sit back down. The same process whether it's two in the morning or two in the afternoon. We call it the Night Watch because night is when you notice it.
You close your laptop. Hansen ApS has a reply deadline on Friday.
A new matter lands with forty documents.
Friday, 16:40. A secretary opens the matter and empties the client's folder into it. Forty documents in ninety seconds.
Clerk'r doesn't send forty notifications. It waits for things to go quiet, then treats the pile as one arrival: reads all of it, builds the chronology from the beginning, writes the case summary and works out the key dates and what needs doing first.
Monday at eight there's one card on your dashboard. You haven't opened a single document, and you know the matter.
- Chronology, 61 dated events
- Case summary written
- 2 key dates need confirming
Three things it doesn't do. Not even at night.
It sends nothing.
Replies wait as drafts. You press send.
It makes no legal decisions.
Judgements are saved for you, with all the groundwork done.
It doesn't guess.
If it can't stand behind something, it says so and stops.
See your own night.
Bring a matter to the demo, anonymised if you'd rather, and see what would have been ready the next morning.
