Risk management

Controls that matter

Critical deadlines need clear ownership, independent review and a record of every important decision.

Lawyer approval required

Calculated legal deadlines cannot activate until an authorized lawyer approves them.

No duplicate reminders

Formata combines overlapping reminders for the same deadline.

Access from any browser

Review matters and deadlines securely from your computer, phone, or tablet.
