How to Reject a Matter Request

If a law firm submits a matter request you don’t need or that contains incorrect information, you can reject it directly in Brightflag.


✅ Steps to Reject a Matter Request

  1. Go to Menu > Matter Management > Search Matter Requests.

  2. Click on the matter request you want to review.

  3. Scroll to the bottom and click the ❌ Reject button.

  4. Enter a reason for the rejection (this will be shared with the vendor).

  5. Confirm rejection.

💡 Rejected requests cannot be edited or approved later. The vendor must submit a new request if changes are needed.


🛑 Can't See the Option?

  • Only Client Admins or users with Matter Management permissions can reject matter requests.

  • Contact your Brightflag admin if you need access.


🗂 Tip: View Past Rejections

Use the Status filter on the Matter Requests page and select "Rejected" to track previously denied submissions.
