The name

The four words we can be held to.

A qila is a fortress. The name sets out four duties we take on in the engagement letter.

Quality

Quality means the standard your practice is already held to. Every control is tested and the evidence is written down. Support carries on after go-live. Nothing here is a demo that quietly rots.

Intelligence

Technology belongs where it removes hours from the working week. Your drafting and your review come under one set of controls. Intake and research answer to the same record. Anything that adds risk to a matter stays outside the scope.

Legal

Our controls follow the matter file the way an Irish firm does. The practice rules you answer to sit in the engagement from day one. Privilege never leaves the firm.

Assurance

Every engagement carries an audit trail and a named human checkpoint. You get evidence you can hand to a client or a regulator.

What we handle

The hours come back. The judgement stays with your fee earners.

All services

Document review & due diligence

Lease review comes back with the break clause and the page number attached. The same review runs across a discovery bundle. Every answer cites the source page. Nothing reaches the file without a citation behind it.

This service in detail

Client intake & triage

Every enquiry arrives through one controlled front door. The facts and the conflict check land in the same record. The matter reaches the right fee earner with the check already evidenced.

This service in detail

Your precedents in every draft

The first version comes from your own precedent library. It already sounds like your firm wrote it. The audit trail behind it shows who changed what.

This service in detail

Research & knowledge retrieval

You put a question to your own files. The answer comes back with the authority attached. No one trawls the shared drive.

This service in detail

Compliance & risk monitoring

Our checks run across open files and live deadlines every day. The exception reaches a partner before it becomes a complaint. The reporting pack behind it is the one your insurer asks to see.

This service in detail

Oversight across your systems

One record covering work that currently sits in four places. Your case management and your accounts report into the same oversight. Email sits inside that record too.

How QILA works for your firm

Who we help

We work across 14 practice areas. A two-partner practice in Galway answers to the same control set as a Dublin firm with forty fee earners. Your caseload sets the brief.

How we work

A short path from the obligation to the evidence on file.

  1. 01

    The opening review

    We sit with your fee earners and map where the hours go and where the firm carries risk. You get the findings in writing whether or not you engage us.

  2. 02

    Your control set

    Your obligations set the scope. Data handling and retention go in writing before any work starts. You approve the human checkpoints first.

  3. 03

    Controls in place

    The work runs with one team over 4 to 6 weeks against your own precedents and your own matter files. You get the controls in writing before anything touches a live matter. Nothing here is a reskinned template.

  4. 04

    Assurance & handover

    The testing is independent. Your insurer gets an audit trail it will accept. The wider firm gets training. A support agreement keeps the controls current after go-live.

Data protection

Security for firms that hold other people’s secrets.

Privilege does not survive careless handling. Every engagement starts at the security review. You get the data handling in writing before you sign anything.

How we handle your data
  • ISO/IEC 27001 aligned. Certification is in progress.
  • Client data stays inside the EU. No transfer outside the EEA happens without an agreed lawful basis.
  • No model trains on your files. The signed data processing agreement says so.
  • Access control runs at matter level. The access log names who opened the file.
  • Our penetration testing is independent. Your risk partner gets the remediation report.

Your first review call

Thirty minutes. No charge and no pitch deck.

You leave with a written view of the obligations that new technology would put on your practice. That holds whether or not you hire us. We reply to every enquiry within one working day.

  • A reply from a person and never a sequence
  • A written note on the risk we would take off your desk first
  • Your data protection questions answered before any work starts
  • No commitment at any point in the conversation
