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.

1

Define the structure

Current trusts, companies, individuals and partnerships. Ownership, control, and beneficial interests. Built-in validation prevents invalid structures and relationships.

2

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.

3

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:

  • Only valid entity types can be trustees
  • Beneficiary designations follow trust type constraints
  • Circular ownership relationships prevented
  • Circular control relationships prevented
  • Ownership interests cannot exceed 100%
  • Active, passive, dormant and dissolved status tracking
  • SMSF trustee and member limits enforced automatically
  • Multiple share classes and rights tracking
  • Third-party 'off-diagram' ownership interests accounted for
  • Discretionary trust roles like appointor and primary beneficiary

Result: Advice backed by structurally sound diagrams.
