The problem

This system experience involved a legal-tech product serving different organizations and user roles. The architecture had to carry tenant context, permissions, workflow state, and operational visibility across the complete application stack. A multi-organization legal product must isolate data and workflows while supporting different roles, AI-enabled capabilities, integrations, and dependable cloud operation.

  • Different organizations require isolated data and configurable workflows.
  • Attorneys, staff, administrators, and clients need different permissions.
  • AI features must operate within tenant and user boundaries.
  • The product needs reliable web, mobile, backend, and cloud foundations.
  • Integrations and background jobs must be observable and recoverable.

Who controls what

  1. Step 1

    Server-side tenant validation and role-based permissions.

  2. Step 2

    Encryption support and secure document access.

  3. Step 3

    Audit events and operational logging.

  4. Step 4

    Environment separation and secrets management.
