asyncconfer

The meet-and-confer platform for litigators who get it done

Draft. Counter. Compile. No scheduling required.

AsyncConfer is an asynchronous negotiation and drafting workspace for every meet-and-confer obligation — federal Rule 26(f) conferences, state discovery conferences, and discovery disputes. Skip the tedious conferral calls, the messy email threads, and the corrupted Word redlines — go straight to the language.

Opposing counsel joins free, forever. No credit card to start.

How it works

One workspace, all parties, section by section.

1

Stipulate

Every workspace opens with boilerplate stipulation language: all parties agree to confer asynchronously through the platform. Acknowledged on entry, exportable for filing.

2

Draft

Propose language for each section of your joint statement or discovery conferral. Start from a template matched to your court — federal or state — so nothing required gets missed.

3

Counter

Opposing counsel opens a private link — no account, no paywall. They accept your language or submit a redlined counter-proposal, section by section.

4

Compile

Consensus language and side-by-side disputed positions assemble automatically into a court-ready joint statement, exportable for filing.

The conferral requirement

Satisfy meet-and-confer without a phone call

Judges expect a good-faith conferral — historically, a telephonic one. AsyncConfer's mutual stipulation replaces the call: all parties agree on entry to confer through the workspace, and the exported statement includes a Stipulation and Proposed Order to Use a Digital Workspace in Lieu of Telephonic Conferral.

  • Protects you from judicial pushback on the format of the conferral.
  • Every proposal, redline, and acceptance is logged in a complete audit trail.
  • Proves good-faith effort with a downloadable conferral record — no call notes needed.
  • Boilerplate stipulation ships with every workspace — court-ready, no drafting required.

What opposing counsel sees

Secure Legal Workspace

You've been invited to a meet-and-confer workspace via AsyncConfer. Review each section, accept, or submit a redlined counter-proposal.

☑️ By entering this workspace, all parties stipulate to conduct their conferral via this asynchronous platform in a good-faith effort to resolve the matters under conferral efficiently, in lieu of a telephonic meeting.

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Conduct the Parties' Meet and Confer via Asynchronous Digital Workspace

WHEREAS the parties are required to meet and confer in the above-captioned matter; and

WHEREAS the parties agree that a written, asynchronous conferral will promote efficiency and preserve a complete record of their positions;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby STIPULATE as follows:

  1. The parties shall conduct the required conferral through a secure asynchronous digital workspace, in lieu of a telephonic or in-person conference.
  2. Each party's proposals, counter-proposals, and acceptances recorded in the workspace shall constitute that party's positions in the conferral.
  3. The exported conferral record shall evidence the parties' good-faith participation in the meet-and-confer process.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

The audit trail

Every move is on the record

Every proposal, redline, acceptance, and entry is timestamped into a complete conferral log. When you certify that you met and conferred in good faith, you're not relying on call notes and memory — you're attaching the record.

  • Ends "who said what, when" disputes before they start.
  • Documents opposing counsel's delay for motions to compel and sanctions declarations.
  • Exportable and ready to attach to any certification of conferral.

Security

Emailing Word docs is a liability

Every .docx you email carries metadata, tracked-changes history, and prior redlines — every inbox it lands in is a copy you don't control, and every attachment you open is a chance you took.

No metadata leaks

Proposals live in the workspace as clean text. No hidden tracked changes, comments, or document history exposing privileged edits to opposing counsel.

No attachments in the wild

Nothing is emailed back and forth. Opposing counsel works through a private, access-controlled link — not a forwardable file.

One canonical version

No "Joint_Statement_v7_FINAL(2).docx". All parties always see the same current language, section by section.

No macro malware

Weaponized Word attachments are a top malware vector, and firms are prime targets. When conferral never happens over attachments, a spoofed "revised redline" in your inbox has no cover.

Pricing that passes through

The workspace fee is a standard litigation disbursement — billed to the matter, not your firm. Opposing counsel never pays.
