Knowledge hub for Business Lawyers

Run your business law practice with tools built for the way you work

Build exactly the tools your firm needs—without starting a traditional software project. Create client and matter intake, conflict checks, matter dashboards, contract and renewal trackers, client portals, timekeeping and invoice prep by describing your workflow.

Start with the basics

Build the tools your business law firm actually needs

Business lawyers juggle client intake, conflict checks, engagement terms, complex matters, contracts, filings, counterparties and strict deadlines—often spread across email, spreadsheets and shared drives.

Use YeshBe to build custom apps around your practice: an intake and conflict-check flow that matches how your partners review new matters, matter workspaces with tasks and calendars, a contract repository with versions and renewal reminders, client portals for secure updates, and time tracking with invoice preparation. Start with one workflow and evolve it as your procedures change.

Because these tools are tailored to your firm, you avoid forcing your practice into generic software. Keep the data points you actually care about, reflect your approval steps and create dashboards that give your team clarity at a glance.

  • Client & conflict intakeCreate tailored intake forms, capture parties and related entities, and flag potential conflicts by matching against your firm’s records.
  • Matter workspacesBuild dashboards for tasks, deadlines, documents, notes and roles so partners, associates and staff stay aligned.
  • Contract lifecycleTrack versions, reviewers, key terms and renewal dates, and keep negotiations organized from draft to execution.
  • Client portalsOffer clients a place to upload documents, follow status updates, view timelines and submit questions.

Include: (1) an intake form capturing client name, company info, matter type, jurisdictions, parties/opposing parties, referral source, scope and fee arrangement; (2) a Parties database where all people and entities are stored; (3) a conflict-check screen that searches exact name matches against existing Clients, Former Clients and Parties and flags matches for review; (4) a review workflow assigning the intake to a responsible partner to approve/decline with notes; (5) when approved, convert the record into an active Matter and generate a starter checklist based on matter type; (6) admin pages to manage matter types and the fields required for each.

Questions and answers

Common questions about Business Lawyers

Answers to the questions owners ask us most often.

Do I need to know how to code to build these tools?

No. Describe what you want in plain language—screens, fields and steps—and refine it until it matches your workflow.

Can I build a client portal for deals and corporate work?

Yes. You can create a portal where clients log in to upload documents, see status updates, view timelines and submit questions to your team.

How can I handle conflict checks in a custom app?

Create a database of clients, former clients and parties. Your intake can search for matching names, collect review notes and record the final decision before opening a matter.

What if we already use document storage or e‑signature tools?

You can link to where files live, upload copies if needed, and track signature or review status. Build around your existing tools instead of replacing them.
