Conflict clearance checks whether a new matter or client creates a conflict with existing engagements across your organisation.

​
When it runs automatically

Conflict clearance runs when:
  • A new matter is created
  • A new client is created
  • A new counterparty is added to a matter

​
What the check searches

The check searches existing matters, clients, counterparties, and matter parties across the entire organisation. It does not search outside your firm.

​
The clearance queue

Potential conflicts route to the partner approval queue. Partners and Org Admins see pending items under Compliance, then Conflict clearance.

​
Three outcomes

OutcomeMeaning
ClearedNo conflict found, or conflict reviewed and approved
BlockedConflict confirmed. Matter cannot proceed
EscalatedRequires senior partner review beyond standard clearance

​
Ethical walls

An ethical wall restricts specific users from accessing a matter even after clearance. Set ethical walls on the matter Team tab. See Matters for configuration steps.

​
Manual conflict check

Run a conflict check outside the automatic flow:

Review results

Results show matching matters and clients with conflict indicators.
A conflict that is cleared in Largence creates an audit record. If a conflict is later discovered, that record shows when the check was run and who cleared it.
