# matter management

The organized handling of a legal matter from opening through completion.

Matter management combines data, documents, deadlines, tasks, communications, and responsible people. Define minimum required information at opening and a closeout checklist at the end. The goal is a matter that another qualified person can understand without a private explanation.
