Client queries going to fee-earner inboxes.
Urgent matters never escalated.

Law firms that route client communication through individual fee-earner inboxes are creating compliance risk, client satisfaction problems, and an audit trail that falls apart under scrutiny.

📩

"Client emails go directly to fee-earners' personal inboxes — and get missed when they're in court."

When clients can only reach their specific solicitor, a court date or tribunal hearing creates a communication blackout. Urgent correspondence sits unanswered and clients assume they've been forgotten — or worse, that a deadline was missed.

"Urgent client matters aren't being escalated to the right person."

Without a shared inbox and escalation rules, urgent queries depend on fee-earners noticing them in a full inbox. There's no automatic flag for matters that require a same-day response — and no backup when the relevant person is unavailable.

⚖️

"We have no defensible audit trail if a regulatory complaint is raised."

Law societies and legal regulators require practices to demonstrate professional conduct in client communications. Emails in personal folders are not an audit trail — they're a liability. A centralised record is now effectively a professional obligation.

The Platform

Built for the communication standards
your practice and regulator expect

Threadly gives legal teams a shared, auditable client communication platform — without replacing the practice management systems your fee-earners already use.

⚖️

Shared Client Communication Inbox

All inbound client queries — email, WhatsApp, phone, and live chat — route into a shared queue by practice area or team. Cover is automatic when a fee-earner is unavailable.

🚨

Urgent Matter Escalation

Flag ticket types as urgent based on subject keywords, matter type, or sender. Urgent matters are automatically escalated to a supervisor if unacknowledged within your target response window.

📋

Full Communication Audit Trail

Every message, response, status change, and escalation is logged with a timestamp and the user responsible. Fully exportable for regulatory, compliance, or professional conduct review.

🏛️

Practice Area Routing

Queries route to the correct team — Conveyancing, Litigation, Corporate, Family, or any other practice area — automatically. Each team works from their own dedicated queue.

🕐

Response Time SLA Management

Set client response time targets by matter type or client tier. At-risk queries are flagged before breach — giving senior partners visibility without micromanaging every inbox.

🔒

Matter-Level Confidentiality

Access to client communication is controlled at the matter and team level. Fee-earners only see the matters they're assigned to. Admin staff can be granted limited view without access to privileged content.

Four Channels. One Queue.

Clients contact you on every channel.
Threadly makes every one auditable.

Clients email, WhatsApp, and call — often switching between channels mid-matter. Threadly consolidates all four into a single auditable thread so the full communication history is always available, regardless of channel.

WhatsApp

Clients increasingly communicate via WhatsApp. Threadly captures these messages as auditable tickets — no more legally significant communications buried in a personal chat app.

Legal use case
"Can you confirm whether we've received the signed power of attorney from the other party yet?"
📞

Phone

Connect your switchboard. Inbound calls create tickets with call logs attached — so even phone-based matters have a traceable record alongside written communication.

Legal use case
"I need to speak to someone about my matter urgently — the opposing party has made a new offer."
💬

Live Chat

Add a chat widget to your firm's website for new client enquiries. All conversations convert to tickets automatically — with a full transcript for the file.

Legal use case
"I need urgent advice on a contract dispute. What are your fees and can I speak to someone today?"
Quick Setup

Compliant client communication.
Without the overhead.

Threadly doesn't require a system overhaul. It works alongside your existing practice management software — adding the shared inbox layer, audit trail, and escalation rules your firm needs.

1

Connect your channels

Route your firm's email addresses, WhatsApp number, and website to Threadly. Set up practice area queues in under 30 minutes.

2

Configure escalation & response rules

Set urgency triggers, response time targets per matter type, and automatic escalation paths to senior fee-earners or partners.

3

Every client interaction is tracked & auditable

Fee-earners respond from a shared queue. Clients always get a response. Partners have full visibility. Regulators get a complete record. Everyone is protected.

Compliance & Audit

A complete record of every
client interaction.
Always ready for review.

Threadly logs every message, response, status change, and escalation with a timestamp and user record. If a matter escalates to a regulatory complaint or professional conduct review, your firm has a complete, exportable audit trail.

What legal practices are saying

Results that speak
for themselves

Law firms using Threadly are responding to clients faster, protecting themselves with a complete audit trail, and ensuring urgent matters reach the right fee-earner — even during court days.

★★★★★

"We had a regulatory complaint raised about a matter where the client claimed we never responded to their emails. With Threadly, we could show the regulator a timestamped record of every interaction. The complaint was dismissed."

AB
Andrew B.
Managing Partner, Slate & Birch Attorneys
★★★★★

"When fee-earners are in court, client queries used to pile up with no visibility. Now they route to the team queue and someone picks up within the hour. Client satisfaction has improved noticeably since we made the switch."

LM
Lisa M.
Practice Manager, Apex Law Group
★★★★★

"Clients WhatsApp us constantly. Before Threadly, those messages lived on someone's personal phone. Now they're logged, assigned, and auditable — the same as any email. It's brought us in line with where client communication is heading."

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Does Threadly replace our practice management system?

+
No — Threadly sits alongside your existing practice management system (Clio, Actionstep, LEAP, etc.) as a dedicated client communication layer. It handles inbound queries, audit trails, and escalations — your practice management system continues to handle billing, time recording, and matter documents.

Can we control which fee-earner sees which matter?

+
Yes — matter-level access controls allow you to restrict ticket visibility to assigned fee-earners and their supervisors. Admin staff can be granted limited-scope access. Partners and practice managers can be given firm-wide view rights without disrupting team-level working.

Is the audit trail exportable for regulatory purposes?

+
Yes — every ticket's full history, including all messages, timestamps, status changes, and user actions, can be exported to PDF or Excel. Exports can cover a single matter, a date range, or a full firm-wide report. The format is suitable for submission to legal regulators and law societies.

How does Threadly handle WhatsApp communications?

+
Threadly connects to a WhatsApp Business number via Twilio. Inbound messages become tickets in your shared queue — with the full message thread preserved. Replies can be sent from within Threadly. All WhatsApp communications are logged with the same audit trail as email.

What happens when a fee-earner is on leave or in court?

+
Queries route to the team queue rather than an individual inbox. If a query assigned to a specific fee-earner goes unacknowledged past your target response time, it escalates automatically to a supervisor or designated cover person. You define the escalation path — Threadly enforces it.

Is client data stored securely and confidentially?

+
Threadly uses Supabase (PostgreSQL) with row-level security — each firm's data is fully isolated at the database level. Data is hosted in EU-based data centres, GDPR-compliant, and encrypted in transit and at rest. We sign data processing agreements on request for firms with specific regulatory obligations.
