AdvoLogix provides the ability to easily manage parties determined as representatives or plaintiffs within your matter. The Manage Parties lightning component allows you to perform management tasks rather easily.
AdvoLogix recommends using either the Manage Parties component or the Parties related list but not both. However, our custom component provides more control in a customized way for end users that the standard related list does not.
What are parties within your matter?
Parties within a matter typically refer to the individuals, organizations, or entities involved or participating in a legal matter, dispute, or any other significant matter. AdvoLogix categorizes parties within your matter as:
- Representatives - These are partners or interested parties who hold a claim to the contingency amount held by the firm.
- Plaintiffs - These are the member(s) represented by the firm who hold a claim to their share of the settlement amount.
Manage Parties Lightning Component
The Manage Parties lightning component provides a singular view to manage both representatives and plaintiffs easily.
