Stop working without a guarantee of payment
A retainer when the file is opened, an automatic balance on case closure and installment fees for longer cases: a system built around how a law or notary firm actually works.
The problem isn't the work, it's getting paid for it
Files, fees and long cases follow precise patterns for a law or notary firm: here is where Daevon steps in.
Every file needs a guarantee already in hand before it opens
Starting without a retainer paid exposes the firm to working for free, especially with new clients.
Long cases need installments, not one balance at the end
Litigation running for months or years can't wait for the ruling to get paid: it needs installments tied to case progress.
The final balance needs collecting right away, not chased later
Waiting for the client to pay on their own after the ruling, once the urgency has passed, slows collection and complicates the firm's admin.
Here's how your collections change
With Daevon you request a retainer when a file opens, split fees into automatic installments for long cases and collect the final balance as soon as a matter closes, with accounting always reconciled.
Retainer on file opening
Request the retainer through a payment link before starting work on a file.
Installment fees for long cases
Split the fee into monthly installments with automatic billing on the client's card or direct debit mandate.
Automatic balance on case closure
The final balance is collected as soon as you mark the matter as closed, with no need to chase the client.
Compliant and traceable payments
Every payment is documented and compliant, useful for invoicing and anti-money-laundering obligations.
How much faster you can collect on your fees
A firm that waits until a case ends to invoice risks months of unpaid work and clients who delay payment once the matter is closed. Splitting the fee into an initial retainer and installments tied to case progress makes collection steady and predictable.
For notarial deeds, collecting the fee online before or during signing avoids chasing payment after closing and lets the firm plan cash flow better, without depending on transfers that arrive days or weeks late.
