Legal & Professional
Law firms, accounting practices, and professional advisors hold material whose disclosure is itself a malpractice event. Quartz produces the access boundary, the matter-level scope, and the record that confidentiality has been preserved in operation.
Regulatory context
The platform's controls give effect to confidentiality obligations your professional rules require, with an evidence model that survives a malpractice review.
Confidentiality of information: reasonable safeguards against unauthorised access, with continuous verification that the safeguards are operating.
Per-matter access boundaries to prevent inadvertent disclosure across engagements, with audit trail establishing the integrity of the boundary.
Disclosure or use of tax return information: per-engagement access scope with explicit consent records for permissible disclosures.
Security, availability, and confidentiality criteria: the platform contributes evidence to a SOC 2 report scoped to client systems.
For client material processed in or about EU/UK data subjects: technical and organisational measures with auditable enforcement.
Ethical walls between matters with adverse parties: per-matter access boundaries enforced and recorded by the platform.
Where it lands first
Hard boundaries between matters, including ethical walls for adverse-party engagements, with the audit chain providing the evidence that the wall held.
Per-engagement access for experts, contractors, and co-counsel, with single-use invitations and engagement-end expiry.
Region-aware access decisions for firms operating in multiple jurisdictions, with data residency boundaries enforced and recorded.
Cryptographically verifiable access history available to discovery teams and outside review counsel.
