Read overnight: 11 new emails and 6 active client files. Receipts and newsletters were counted and filed, not rowed.
One decision needs you today, three replies wait as drafts for the people they go to, and two dates are inside ten days.
Each draft waits on the person the work goes to: replies to new inquiries with the intake assistant, anything legal with the responsible lawyer, the brief and the report with you. Whoever it waits on opens it, adjusts anything and presses Send; reply to this brief to ask for a change. Nothing reaches a client until the firm sends it.
