Folio by Konan & Spade
The complete platform for
law firm business development.
Directory submissions, award entries, pitches, credentials, contacts, and branded documents. Folio brings everything your BD team works on into one platform, with AI-assisted drafting and built-in compliance for every major legal directory.
One dataset, six outputs
Add a deal once. It shows up in your Chambers submission, your Legal 500 filing, your award entry, and your pitch deck, formatted for each.
What changes with Folio
Lawyers, matters, and referees scattered across Word docs, spreadsheets, and email threads
One place for everything: your practice areas, lawyers, clients, matters, referees, and contacts
Each submission drafted from scratch, re-entering the same deals and bios every time
AI drafts every output from the same data, formatted for each directory's rules automatically
Referee spreadsheets assembled manually, caps checked by hand, no way to spot overuse
Referees matched automatically with consent tracking, usage history, and fatigue alerts
Client contacts, referees, judges, and prospects tracked in different spreadsheets, email folders, or not at all
One contact list for every BD relationship. Log interactions, track consent, filter by type, and see the full history
Deadlines tracked in calendars and sticky notes. Miss one and you wait a full year
Year-round deadline calendar across every directory and award programme, with alerts
How it works
Add your firm data
Enter your practice areas, lawyers, clients, matters, and referees. You can also import from press releases, deal announcements, or your existing website.
Generate and refine
AI drafts your submissions, award entries, and documents from the data you entered, following each directory's word limits, work caps, and referee rules. Review and edit as you go.
Review, approve, file
Share drafts with partners for review. They approve each section in their own portal. Export as Word, Excel, or branded PDF and submit.
Rules built in for 22 directories
What's inside
AI-assisted drafting
Folio writes first drafts of your submissions, award entries, and lawyer bios from your data. You review, refine, and approve. It never makes anything up.
Branded document builder
Create firm profiles, pitch documents, and credentials with your firm's colours and logo. Export as polished PDFs ready to share with clients.
Referee management
Track which referees have given consent, how often they've been used, and whether they're being overloaded across directories. Pre-fill each directory's referee spreadsheet.
Client review portal
Share drafts with partners and clients in a clean portal. They read each section, leave feedback, and approve. No more email attachments or tracked changes.
CRM & contacts
A CRM built for BD, not sales pipelines. Track referees, client contacts, prospects, and judges in one list. Log every call and meeting, track referee consent and usage, tag contacts your way, and see how every relationship connects to your submissions and awards.
Deadline calendar
See every directory and award deadline across the year. Get alerts when a filing window is approaching so you never miss a submission cycle.
Award tracking
Manage award nominations from draft through to result. Track which awards your firm has entered, submitted, been shortlisted for, or won.
Website import
Pull in lawyer bios, case studies, and team pages from your existing firm website so you don't have to re-enter what's already written.
