Law Firm Direction Scope, permissions, scripts, and procedures
Enlaze Preparation Approved coordination and preparation support

  • Consistency across supplied information
  • Correct placement of information
  • Organization and labeling
  • Identification of apparent gaps for firm review

Enlaze completes preparation and internal review before the organized draft returns to the law firm. The hiring attorney remains responsible for final legal review, approval, and filing.

Confidentiality and Controlled Access

Immigration Case Preparation Built Around Confidentiality

Assigned case work follows defined confidentiality, access, supervision, and information-handling procedures.

Enlaze structures immigration case preparation around the law firm’s approved systems, assigned responsibilities, and communication requirements. Confidentiality protections, controlled access, secure workflows, and supervised operations help keep client information limited to the people and processes involved in the assignment.

Confidentiality Controls Across the Assigned Workflow

Documented responsibilities, assigned access, and supervised handling work together throughout the engagement.

Firm-Directed Security Setup

Confidentiality Agreements and Training

Confidentiality responsibilities are established before team members begin handling assigned law-firm information.

  • Team members work under confidentiality agreements and applicable NDA requirements.
  • Confidentiality expectations are reinforced through training.
  • Internal procedures guide the handling of client information and case materials.
  • Team members are expected to follow the law firm’s approved communication and information-handling requirements.
  • Confidentiality responsibilities remain connected to each assigned role and workflow.

Flexible Per-Case Engagement

Pay Per Case—Not Per Employee

Choose the preparation scope required for each matter without committing to a monthly staffing plan.

Pricing is based on the case type and the preparation level selected for the assignment. Your firm can request focused form preparation, add English-Spanish document translations, or assign broader affidavit, evidence, and approved client-coordination support based on the needs of the matter.

No long-term employment commitment or monthly staffing plan is required for immigration case preparation.

Flexible Capacity for Immigration Practices

Flexible Support for Changing Immigration Caseloads

Add preparation capacity when specific matters, temporary surges, or internal backlogs require additional support.

Immigration caseloads do not always grow in a predictable way. A sudden increase in new matters, overlapping deadlines, temporary staff leave, or document-heavy cases can create more preparation work than the internal team can comfortably absorb.

On-Demand Immigration Case Preparation gives law firms a way to assign selected matters without adding another full-time employee or committing to recurring monthly staffing.

When Per-Case Support May Fit

Use flexible preparation capacity when a specific operational need does not require an immediate recurring staffing arrangement.

  • A sudden increase in new matters
  • Deadlines across several active cases
  • Temporary staff shortages or leave
  • A backlog of forms and supporting documents
  • A case requiring extensive Spanish-language communication
  • A firm that does not need another full-time team member
  • A solo or small firm testing outsourcing
  • A growing practice that needs flexible preparation capacity

Flexible preparation can help solo and small law firms test outsourcing, support growing law firms during periods of expansion, and give immigration law firms added capacity for selected matters.

Choose the Support Model That Matches the Need

Some firms need support for selected matters, while others need recurring capacity from a dedicated team member.

Per-Case Preparation

Support for Selected Immigration Matters

  • Assign work matter by matter
