Governance for Consequential Matter Changes
Dominion is Yavardi’s product for Matter Governance. It gives firms a consistent way to handle consequential changes in scope, budget, staffing, strategy, and additional work, and keeps the decision context with the matter.
Consistency where it matters most.
Matter changes are often handled differently by each partner and practice group. Dominion brings one consistent approach to the changes that affect matter economics, without asking the firm to change how it practices law.
Consequential decisions
Decisions about scope, budget, staffing, strategy, and additional work are handled the same way across matters, by the people responsible for them.
Decision context
The context behind each decision stays with the matter, available to the matter team, billing, and firm leadership when questions arise later.
Dominion starts with the Baseline Assessment.
Before deploying anything, the Baseline Assessment shows where matter changes are creating exposure in your firm and where Dominion would make the biggest difference first.
Move Governance Earlier
Where material exposure exists, Dominion helps the firm address consequential matter changes while meaningful options remain.
Earlier
Consequential changes are addressed while the matter is still moving.
Accountable
The responsible people are involved in deciding the path forward.
Matter-linked
Decision context stays with the matter when questions arise later.
Operational
Designed to support legal work without replacing the firm's core systems.
What changes for the firm.
Dominion is designed to help firms address consequential changes while options remain, and to support later review when questions arise.
Less reconstruction
Fewer hours spent piecing together historical context after the fact.
Stronger billing support
Clearer context around consequential scope, budget, staffing, and additional-work decisions.
Better client alignment
Clients can be involved while the path forward is still open.
Institutional continuity
Decision history remains with the firm instead of disappearing with individual memory.
