Frequently Asked Questions

How is a closure review different from a satisfaction survey?
A satisfaction survey can run any time; a closure review is tied to a finished matter, capturing outcome and lessons while that case is fresh.
Who completes it?
The client, at or shortly after matter closure, prompted by the firm.
Can we tailor the questions?
Yes. Adjust ratings and prompts to the matter type.
Is it free to reuse?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace for each closed matter.
What if the outcome wasn't good?
The form still captures process and communication feedback — useful even when the result was unfavourable.
Why review at closure?
Memory and candour fade after closure; asking in the moment yields the most useful lessons.
