Local discussion is separate from formal matter records.
AT A GLANCE
Local discussion is separate from formal matter records.
01
Confirm
Verify the recipient and the matter.
02
Deliver
Check complete file receipt for each recipient.
03
Retain
Use the designated professional record system.
THE STARTING POINT
Useful controls
Accepted-contact communication, local vault protection, device pairing/revocation, local search and verified delivery. Direct is preferred; permitted temporary Secure Relay expires within 12 hours or earlier after receipt.
A CLEAR NEXT STEP
Real-life example
A lawyer and a colleague discuss a draft agreement in a private group. The lawyer sends the draft; group file usage is charged per intended recipient under the delivery rule. A call charges its initiating caller for connected receivers.
THE HANDOFF MATTERS
A clear handoff for every document.
Confirm the intended recipient before sharing a draft. Complete verified receipt is a useful delivery outcome; it does not establish reading, approval or entry into a matter record. Follow the professional process appropriate to your work.
Separate groups when the matter or participants differ. Group roles organize participation, while accepted contacts and device authority remain distinct. New members do not automatically receive old local history.
Keep required evidence and records in the designated professional system. Private communication tools do not themselves establish legal privilege, compliance or record-retention guarantees.
Follow the controls, delivery rules and responsibilities that apply to lawyers & legal teams.
01
Usage and payment
One-to-one uses plan allowances. Unlimited group creation is free; every group message, file and call uses separate pay-as-you-go accounting. Sender pays messages/files; initiating caller pays calls; receivers pay nothing.
02
Responsibilities
Keep matter records and required evidence in your designated professional system. Temporary delivery is not a legal archive, and local deletion does not erase a colleague's saved copy. Sornix does not itself establish privilege or compliance.
Continue in Sornix to set up your identity, manage your devices and use the communication tools. Choose your contacts deliberately, protect local access and review paid usage before starting.
