Features

Built for your firm’s day-to-day work

Every module answers a concrete question: what happened in the matter? When is it due? Who has it? What do I tell the client?

Matters

The complete file for every matter

Everything about a matter in one view, organised the way a lawyer organises it.

Parties, court and the 23-digit radicado, validated and broken into its components.
Legacy or unusual case numbers can still be entered: Legado warns, it never blocks.
A docket history with the date and source of every entry.
Precautionary measures with amount, targeted asset or account and supporting documents.
Payment agreements with an instalment plan and an email reminder to the debtor the day before each one is due.
Commitments and hearings that appear on the calendar on their own.

Automatic tracking

A service that reads the public case register during court hours and files what is new into every active matter.

Seventeen checks a day, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Bogotá time. The schedule is configurable.
Only court orders are filed; clerical traffic stays out of the history.
Each order’s documents are downloaded to the digital file, with retries if they fail.
One notification per matter for the assigned lawyers, with everything new.
A step-by-step trace to diagnose any matter that has not updated.
Setting a matter active or closed is all it takes to add it to or remove it from tracking.

Deadlines and calendar

Term calculation follows Colombian rules, and every result shows the rule that produced it.

Business days without weekends or holidays, with the Monday shift of Ley 51 de 1983.
Judicial recess that suspends the count, with dates the firm confirms each year.
Month, week and agenda views with tasks, hearings, commitments and petitions.
Calendar dates that never drift with time zones: January 1 stays January 1.

Teamwork

A workflow designed for firms where a partner reviews what the team delivers.

Tasks with assignees, due dates and clear states, linked to the matter.
Verified by whoever assigned the task; if that person has left, authority passes to a supervisor.
Notifications for what needs your attention, without the noise.
A dashboard with workload and upcoming deadlines for what you can see.

Clients, advisory and petitions

Not all of a firm’s work is litigation. Legado keeps track of what happens before and around it too.

A directory of people and entities with CC, NIT, CE, TI, RC and passport.
NIT check-digit validation on entry.
Ongoing advisory work for property associations and entities, with a log of what was done.
An advisory engagement converts into a matter when the issue reaches court.
Petitions (derechos de petición) with the statutory response term and expiry alerts.

Each user picks a language and switches instantly, without losing what they were typing.

Designed and tested down to 360-pixel-wide screens.

Your own name, logo and colours, with contrast checked so everything stays readable.

High contrast, visible focus and states that never rely on colour alone.
