GD Legal — Modern UK Legal Services Platform
About the Client
GD Legal
United Kingdom
10–50 employees
The Challenge
Client onboarding was entirely paper-based, causing delays of 3–5 business days before case work could begin.
Legal advisors had no centralised system to track case progress, leading to missed deadlines and inconsistent updates to clients.
Document management was handled through email chains, creating security risks and version control problems.
The firm had no digital presence capable of converting inbound enquiries into active cases efficiently.
Our Approach
Conducted discovery workshops with legal staff, administrative team, and client-facing advisors to map every workflow touchpoint.
Designed a three-portal architecture — Admin, Legal Team, and Client — each with role-specific dashboards and permission controls.
Prioritised data security and UK GDPR compliance throughout the system design, with encrypted document storage and audit logs.
Built an iterative release plan: Admin Portal first, followed by Client Portal, then Legal Team Portal — allowing staff to adapt progressively.
The Solution
Admin Portal: Full case and workflow management including client onboarding, assignment to legal professionals, document oversight, deadline monitoring, and performance reporting.
Client Portal: Secure online enquiry submission, document upload, real-time case status tracking, communication with assigned advisors, and automated notifications.
Legal Team Portal: Case access, document review, progress updates, secure client messaging, task management, and timeline oversight.
Integrated an automated onboarding workflow that reduced case initiation time from 5 days to under 4 hours.
Deployed secure encrypted document storage with version history and client-facing download access.
Results & Impact
"HashDev built exactly what we needed — a system that reflects the professionalism our clients expect, while making our team's day-to-day significantly more efficient."
