Security

Security, review, and accountability for sensitive immigration files.

Proximate’s website and portal direction is designed around a practical legal-operations truth: speed matters, but attorney control and careful file handling matter more.

Controlled access

Each firm gets one dedicated, secure account, with expanded role-based permissions available as your team grows.

Sensitive file handling

Documentation workflows are structured around immigration files, client records, and confidential supporting evidence.

Attorney review gates

Legal-sensitive work can be routed to the attorney or owner before it becomes final client-facing output.

Integration readiness

The platform works alongside Docketwise, integrates with Microsoft 365 workflows, and keeps a secure operational record of every case.

Practical safeguards

Security is expressed in workflow, not just policy language.

Immigration files contain identity records, family history, financial evidence, notices, and time-sensitive instructions. The platform direction is built to keep those materials organized, reviewable, and routed to the right people.

Access boundaries

One dedicated account per firm keeps the portal simple to use, with role-based permissions available as your team grows.

Review-before-release

Client-facing or filing-sensitive materials can be held for attorney/owner review before handoff or communication.

Audit-friendly movement

Case stage changes, blockers, and completed handoffs are designed to leave operational receipts.

System alignment

Docketwise and Microsoft 365 workflows are treated as core operating surfaces, not afterthought integrations.

Before you send a single file

Confidentiality obligations never leave the firm, even when preparation work is outsourced.

Attorney-client privilege stays with the attorney of record regardless of who is doing the underlying document work. That is exactly why we expect firms to ask these questions before sending anything, not after.

Proximate supports the file. The attorney owns the legal judgment.

Documentation support does not replace legal advice.

Final legal strategy, filing decisions, and client advice remain with the responsible attorney.

Operational visibility helps the firm catch blockers earlier and review work more consistently.
