Sharing case detail before a conflict check is cleared is a risk to both sides. A two-stage intake removes it.
A neutral method only holds if it is protected procedurally. That starts at intake: qualifying metadata first, conflict clearance second, protected health information only after.
Stage one is metadata only
Matter type, jurisdiction, the side represented, and the timeline are enough to run a conflict check. None of it is protected health information, and none of it commits either party.
PHI travels on a secure channel
Once a conflict check clears, records are shared through a secure, HIPAA-aware upload link — under a Business Associate Agreement where appropriate — never over unsecured email.
Never both sides of one matter
Conflict discipline is the reason a neutral method is believable. We do not work both sides of the same matter, and the intake sequence is what guarantees it.
