Coordinate collection with opposing counsel.

Propose the scope. Let them approve it.

When you create a collection request, choose Opposing Counsel instead of My Client and enter their name, email and firm. Hearsay invites them to the case. They review your proposed configuration read-only:

• which apps and sources to collect
• the date range
• the auto-search terms (keywords, names, emails, phone numbers)
• options like encrypted iOS backups

From there they can approve, or reject it with a note back to you. Approval locks the configuration for both firms, so the agreed scope can't drift.

Their client, their channel.

On approval, opposing counsel confirms their client's contact details and Hearsay emails the custodian collection instructions.

The custodian's contact details stay private to opposing counsel. You never need to contact the other side's client directly.

The producing side controls disclosure.

Collected data doesn't go straight to the requesting firm. Opposing counsel reviews it and decides, per source, what to release:

• Share all of a source.
• Share a hand-picked subset, down to individual text conversations, Facebook/Instagram/Threads chats, files, financial accounts or email threads.
• Revoke access to anything previously shared, in one click.

You see exactly what's been approved, plus a count of items still waiting for their approval.

One case, two firms, clear roles.

• Shared cases show a Shared badge on your side and Shared with me on theirs.
• Opposing counsel can bring in their own colleagues.
• Billing, equipment and case deletion stay with the firm that started the case.
• If a request needs a nudge, Remind OC resends the invitation.

Defensible by design.

Every key action goes into the case's Activity feed, which has an Opposing Counsel filter: invitations sent and accepted, team members added, codes approved, full or partial data shares, and revocations.

Each data approval records who approved it, when, and which items were included.
