Client document collection for law firms that takes minutes, not days.

FileRequest sends each client a secure, branded portal to upload their documents, complete intake forms, and provide the information you need — before they even walk in the door.

New matter intake by email is a security risk.

Clients sending identity documents, contracts, and sensitive records via email attachments is not a secure workflow. FileRequest provides a token-secured portal — only the intended recipient can access it — with encrypted upload and Australian data storage.

Client onboarding takes longer than it should.

Every new matter starts the same way — a list of things you need from the client. FileRequest turns that list into a branded portal, sends it automatically, and collects everything before the first meeting.

Chasing clients for outstanding documents delays matters.

FileRequest sends automatic reminders until clients submit. You see the real-time status of every matter’s outstanding documents in one dashboard — no spreadsheet, no follow-up emails.

Secure document collection built for legal workflows

Identity verification documents

Collect certified copies of passports, driver licences, and proof of address through a secure portal with no Google account required from your clients.

Matter-specific checklists

Build a template for each matter type — conveyancing, family law, estate planning, commercial — and reuse it for every new client.

Token-secured portal access

Each client receives a unique link. Only they can access their portal. Documents are encrypted in transit and stored in Australia.

Australian data residency

All uploaded documents are stored in Sydney (AWS ap-southeast-2) in compliance with Australian privacy obligations. Client data never leaves Australian shores.

Branded client experience

Portals display your firm name, logo, and colours. Clients see your brand — professional, credible, and consistent with the standard they expect from their legal adviser.

Frequently asked questions

Is FileRequest secure enough for legal document collection?

FileRequest uses token-based portal access — each client receives a unique link that only they can use. All files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Data is stored in Sydney, Australia (AWS ap-southeast-2) in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988. FileRequest does not use shared links or public portals.

Can law firms use FileRequest for client identity verification?

Yes. FileRequest can collect scanned copies of identity documents — passports, driver licences, proof of address — through a secure upload portal that requires no Google account from your clients. For certified copy requirements, the submission process is the same — clients upload their certified documents directly.

Can FileRequest collect client intake forms as well as documents?

Yes. FileRequest supports both file uploads and structured form fields — text responses, dates, yes/no fields, multiple choice, and number fields. You can build a complete client intake form that collects both documents and written information in a single portal.

Does FileRequest store data in Australia?

Yes. All FileRequest data is stored in the ap-southeast-2 region in Sydney, Australia. Client documents, form responses, and account data never leave Australian shores.

Can I create different document checklists for different matter types?

Yes. FileRequest supports unlimited templates. You can build a separate template for each matter type — conveyancing, family law, commercial, estate planning — and send the appropriate one to each new client. Templates can be reused indefinitely and updated at any time.
