ClearAdvantage for Lawyers
When a client’s question moves beyond legal work, give it a clear place to go.
ClearAdvantage gives your firm a clear financial-services handoff while you stay focused on the legal work.
What your firm gets
A clearer way to handle financial questions that surface beside your legal work.
ClearAdvantage gives your firm a place to check the fit, make a clean introduction, coordinate relevant mortgage-closing requirements, and stay useful after closing.
Check the fit first
Ask about a generalized situation before client information needs to move.
Coordinate the closing
When Clearstone handles the mortgage, authorized closing requirements can be coordinated with your firm.
Keep roles clear
Your firm keeps the legal work. Clearstone handles only the financial-services work within its approved scope.
Stay useful after closing
Share an opt-in mortgage-monitoring resource without taking on the mortgage role.
Before an introduction
Check the fit before you introduce a client.
Start with a generalized situation. If it fits Clearstone’s scope, the client can choose whether to make an introduction.
No client name. No matter details. No documents.
Mortgage closing coordination
Coordinate the mortgage closing without making the client relay routine steps.
When Clearstone handles the mortgage, authorized closing requirements can be coordinated directly with your firm.
The client chooses.
The client picks each professional and authorizes what may be shared.
Roles stay distinct.
Clearstone, your firm and the lender each keep their own role.
Only what’s needed moves.
Just the authorized closing requirements pass between Clearstone and your firm.
No relaying for the client.
The client doesn’t shuttle routine steps back and forth.
