Compliance calendar for Australian law firms

Critical dates buried in spreadsheets cause negligence exposure. A compliance calendar inside practice management should surface limitation dates, certificate renewals, and costs disclosure milestones — with escalation your team can act on.

What to track

CounselOS calculates limitation dates using state and matter-type rules from configuration — your team still confirms outcomes. The platform helps support visibility; it does not guarantee you meet every obligation.

  • Limitation dates by matter type and state
  • Practising certificate renewals
  • CPD deadlines
  • Costs disclosure status before work proceeds

Escalation and ownership

Assign an owner per matter type for calendar alerts. Paralegals often manage dates; principals sign off on limitation risk.

Common questions

Does CounselOS replace our compliance register?

It centralises dates tied to matters in practice management. Some firms still keep a principal-level register for firm-wide items — use both if that fits your risk approach.
