# How Do I Automate Client Onboarding Paperwork for a New Matter?

You automate onboarding paperwork by connecting a new matter's record to a standard set of required documents and forms, generated automatically rather than assembled by hand each time. On **Jestor**, this runs through automation tied to new matter creation.

Assembling onboarding paperwork manually for every new matter, gathering the same forms and templates each time, is repetitive work that also risks a document being forgotten.

## What manually assembled onboarding paperwork costs

- Time spent gathering the same standard forms and templates every time
- Risk of a required document being forgotten in the manual assembly process
- Inconsistency in what paperwork different new matters actually receive
- Delay between a matter opening and its paperwork actually being ready

## How automated client onboarding paperwork works

- A new matter record triggers automatic generation of standard required **paperwork**
- The same complete set of documents applies consistently to every new matter
- No manual assembly step exists between the matter opening and paperwork being ready
- Completion tracking confirms every required document has been handled

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic generation removes the repetitive manual assembly for every matter
- Consistency ensures no new matter misses a document that others received
- This reduces the delay between opening a matter and its paperwork being ready
- This scales from occasional new matters to a firm opening many regularly

| Manual paperwork assembly    | Automated paperwork generation        |

| Repetitive, risk of omission | Generated consistently, automatically |
