Frequently Asked Questions
Legal file noting is the practice of recording details of professional interactions, such as client calls, court appearances, and meetings, into structured written records. These notes form part of the matter file and are essential for continuity, compliance, and potential dispute resolution.
After your client interaction ends, open Lex Protocol and speak naturally about what occurred. Our AI powered by Deepgram transcribes your speech in real-time, then structures it into a professional file note with proper legal terminology, formatting, and sections.
