Features FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Lexuno's practice capabilities, matter custody, court rules, and team permissions.
01Can we track both High Court and Magistrates Court dates?
Yes. Lexuno's court calendar tracks hearing dates, pleadings, statutory prescription limits, CCMA proceedings, and consultation appointments with automated practitioner reminders.
02How does matter-level document custody ensure file integrity?
Lexuno attaches every uploaded document, version, and evidence item directly to its corresponding matter or client. Supported sensitive files use SHA-256 cryptographic verification hashes.
03Can staff roles and access levels be customised per fee-earner?
Yes. Lexuno provides predefined roles including Owner, Partner, Associate, Paralegal, Candidate Attorney, and Billing Admin, ensuring staff only access authorized matters and financial records.
04How does the Client Portal protect internal firm discussions?
The Client Portal is an isolated external interface. Clients can only access documents, invoices, or appointment schedules that firm practitioners have deliberately marked as client-visible.
05Does Lexuno support South African VAT and disbursement tracking?
Yes. You can capture billable fee-earner time, link out-of-pocket disbursements to matters, generate partner-approved draft invoices, and apply standard South African VAT rules.
06Are AI-assisted drafting and summarisation tools mandatory?
No. AI tools are completely optional, governed by firm policy toggles, and require mandatory human attorney review for every generated suggestion.
