Why law firms teams pick BoardSnap

Law firms bill by the hour, which makes meeting efficiency a direct financial issue. Every partner-led strategy session, every associate working group, every client counseling session that ends without clear documented output costs the firm in follow-up time and rework. The whiteboard is where the legal thinking gets done — the elements of the claim, the damages theory, the negotiation position. Getting that thinking into a document quickly is the bottleneck.

BoardSnap removes that bottleneck. Snap the case theory board, the settlement analysis, the regulatory timeline. Ten seconds later, you have a structured summary you can use as a strategy memo skeleton, a client communication draft, or a work product starting point. The time saved compounds across every matter the firm runs.

For large firms managing hundreds of matters, Projects provide the organizational structure. Each client matter gets its own project — isolated history, isolated context, isolated brand voice. Lateral hires and new associates can be brought up to speed on a matter by reviewing the project's board history, not just by reading memos.

Common law firms workflows

Case strategy sessions

Partner and senior associate map the case: claim elements, key evidence, witness assessment, defenses to anticipate, trial narrative. Snap the board. The structured summary is the strategy memo before anyone goes back to their office.

Deposition preparation

Map the deposition outline on the board: lines of questioning, documents to introduce, key facts to establish, anticipated objections. Snap it. The summary becomes the deposition prep guide your associate refines.

Settlement scenario analysis

Draw the decision tree: trial outcomes with probabilities, settlement ranges, client risk tolerance, opposing counsel dynamics. Snap it. The summary captures the analysis that informs the settlement recommendation — documented at the moment the analysis was done.

Oral argument preparation

Map the argument structure on the board: opening, key cases, anticipated questions from the bench, rebuttals. Stress-test it out loud and adjust. Snap the final version. The summary is the argument outline your team reviews the night before.

Transactional deal structure review

Corporate teams diagram deal structure, risk allocation, and key provisions during deal review sessions. Snap the board. The structured output becomes the deal summary memo — ready to share with clients or junior team members before the next call.

Privacy & data handling

VisionKit runs on-device — no data leaves the phone during the scan step. AI summarization sends content to BoardSnap's API over TLS. Law firms handling privileged communications and client confidences should treat BoardSnap's cloud summarization the same as any cloud productivity tool. Review your firm's data security and client data policies before processing privileged or client-confidential whiteboard content through the summarization feature. The on-device scan does not create an external data record.

Frequently asked

How should law firms think about privilege and work product for BoardSnap output?

BoardSnap summaries created in connection with legal representation and reflecting attorney mental processes are likely protected work product. But the threshold question is whether the cloud transmission of the underlying content is consistent with your firm's data security policies and client agreements. Consult your firm's general counsel or IT security team before processing client-confidential content through the summarization feature.

Can BoardSnap help with matter management and client reporting?

Yes — as a documentation tool. Snap the matter status board, get a structured summary, paste it into your matter management system or client status report. It's a drafting accelerator, not a matter management system.

How do we introduce BoardSnap to a skeptical senior partner?

Three taps. Snap. Analyze. Read the summary. Show the senior partner that the output from their strategy session is documented and accurate before they walk out of the conference room. That's the whole pitch.

Is there a firm-wide license?

Not currently. BoardSnap is priced per individual account — $9.99/month or $69.99/year for Pro. Firm-wide volume licensing is on the roadmap.

What happens to boards in a project if a matter closes?

The project and its board history remain in your account. You can archive or simply stop adding to a project when the matter closes. The history is available for future reference — useful for recurring matters or for understanding how a strategy evolved.
