Common challenges for law firms
Everyone agrees diagrams are valuable. Most teams just don't have the time to do them properly.
Complex trust structures are hard to explain
Clients struggle to understand written advice. Diagrams make the difference — but take too long to create. Only used for high-value clients.
Restructures require multiple diagram versions
Showing "current" vs. "proposed" is manual work. Changes ripple through the entire diagram. Hours spent on diagram updates, nudging boxes and re-drawing lines.
No firm-wide standards
Different lawyers use different tools and styles. Junior staff produce inconsistent outputs. Hard to maintain professional brand.
Advice clarity impacts client confidence
Clear diagrams = stronger client confidence. Clear diagrams = better internal understanding. Diagrams are evidence you understand the structure. Visual quality reflects firm quality.
StructureGram removes the friction that stops teams from using diagrams consistently.
Built for legal workflows
From initial fact-gathering, through to advice and implementation, StructureGram supports every stage of the process.
Define the structure
Current trusts, companies, individuals and partnerships. Ownership, control, and beneficial interests. Built-in validation prevents invalid structures and relationships.
Show proposed changes
Use Snapshots to show point-in-time or period-in-time. Use filter-groups to show current vs. proposed. Scenario planning built in. Validate proposed structures before implementation.
Export for advice documents
PNG export for high-res presentations. PDF export for advice memos. Client-ready diagrams in minutes, with logo and headings.
Legal compliance built in
StructureGram includes validation rules specific to legal work:
