Everything between the email
and the signature.

Cedent does the execution work on a matter and hands it to you for judgment. Here is what that covers.

Your inbox, sorted before you open it.

Every message read in full, matched to a matter, filed with its attachments. The ambiguous ones wait for you rather than landing on the wrong case.

Matched, suggested, or not a matter
Attachments filed to the matter
Threads stay threads

Court-day math you can check in ten seconds.

CCP § 1005 deadlines calculated on the county's own calendar, with the rule and the holidays it counted shown alongside the date.

Three counties loaded in depth
Courthouse departments and clerk hours
Two-way Outlook sync

Forms filled from the record, not retyped from it.

FL-150, FL-142 and RA-010 generated from the facts already in the matter, with the caption block filled from your firm profile and the courthouse directory.

Every value shows its source
It asks for what it cannot source
Approved drafts lock

Five specialists, one matter, no coordinating.

Triage reads the mail. The paralegal pulls facts out of documents and tracks disclosure. The filing assistant prepares court forms and the county's filing instructions. Discovery review reads what the other side served. The assistant answers questions from the record.

Narrow jobs, scoped tightly
Every action logged
Cost attributed per matter

Stop reconstructing your day at six o'clock.

Time captured as the work happens, written up as narratives you can bill, and exported to the practice management system you already use.

You don't open Cedent to find out what changed.

A brief at seven and another after lunch - what needs you, what Cedent proposes, what happened. Plus a prep packet the night before every hearing.

Twice a day, on your schedule
One tap to approve, no sign-in
A hearing packet the evening before

Also included

The checks that run whether you ask or not.

None of these is a headline feature. Together they are the reason the headline features are safe to rely on.

Conflict check before you take the matter

Type a prospective client's name and Cedent checks it against every party in every matter your firm has opened, email addresses included. Clear or flagged, with the matches ranked. Each party on a matter then carries its own status, so you can see who has been cleared and who has not.

Matters going quiet

A matter with no activity for a week and something still pending - a hearing coming up, a decision waiting on you, a message you sent that was never answered - gets raised before it turns into a problem. Dismiss it and it stays quiet for a while. Leave it and the day count keeps climbing.

When two documents disagree

A new document that contradicts a fact already in the matter never overwrites it. The disagreement goes to the lead attorney with both values, both sources, and how far each one is trusted.

Time you could not have worked

Before you approve a day's entries, Cedent flags the ones that overlap and any day totalling more than eight hours. It never changes a duration. It just makes sure you are not attesting to time that does not exist.

Disclosure, tracked item by item

For a dissolution, Cedent tracks the preliminary declaration of disclosure against what the Family Code actually requires: two years of tax returns, W-2s and 1099s, two months of pay stubs, the schedule of assets and debts, the income and expense declaration, and every retirement and investment statement. Ask for the status and you get the list with what is still outstanding.

What the other side did not answer

Ask Cedent to read opposing counsel's discovery responses and it comes back with the answers that are evasive, incomplete, or missing the documents they promised.

Everything else

On every plan, without a page of its own.

Smaller than a headline feature, and the difference between a tool you try and one you keep.

Files from OneDrive and SharePoint

Pull a file or a whole folder straight into a matter, and keep a folder watched so new documents show up on their own.

Documents, organized on arrival

Scanned exhibits are read, categorized by what they are, and made searchable. You can take a document out of the assistant's context without deleting it.

A matter that summarizes itself

A running synopsis and timeline per matter, each fact carrying the document it came from and a trust level from P0 to P5.

Access scoped to the person

Give someone the whole caseload or a named list of matters. Mark a matter confidential and it stays with the people on it.

Take the matter with you

Every email on a matter exports as the original message with its attachments intact. Nothing about staying is enforced by making it hard to leave.

Approve straight from the email

The links in your brief work without signing in. One tap approves or dismisses, each link works once, and they expire the next day.
