Attorneys request consultations and pre-trials with you online, inside the hours you keep and with the notice you need. You approve in one tap. It lands in your own calendar.
No app for attorneys to install. No account for them to create. Your court days block the diary automatically.
Three steps for you, once. Three steps for the attorney, every time, without a single phone call.
iCloud, Outlook or Google. Fasti reads it for court days and busy times, and writes confirmed appointments back. Nothing to maintain in Fasti itself.
Hours, minimum notice, early closes, cancellation terms. Sensible defaults from day one; change them whenever you like.
Put it in your email signature and send it once to your attorneys. From then on, the diary answers the “when are you free?” question for you.
They see only what you can actually do: your hours, your notice period, your court days already removed. Half an hour to a full day, in person or by video.
Parties, case number, a few lines on the issue. The time is held the moment they send it, and a one-time code confirms it is really them.
You approve or decline with a reason. Either way they hear by email, with a calendar invitation and the chambers address when it is on.
Generic booking tools auto-confirm, know nothing about court days, and look wrong to a law firm. Fasti was built inside a set of chambers, by counsel, to how briefs actually arrive.
Short walkthroughs, one for counsel and one to forward to attorneys’ secretaries. Recording in progress.

Indicative, and free for the early-access cohort until launch.
No. They open your link in any browser, on a phone or a desk. The first request from a device asks for a six-digit code sent to their email; after that the device is remembered for 90 days.
All three are supported at launch. The early-access cohort starts on iCloud, which is where the working version runs today; Outlook and Google follow in the first release.
Yes. You can allow a second person to see the inbox and approve or decline. Group licences include a clerk’s view across members.
Only what they need: open times, “Appearing in court” on court days, “Unavailable” on other blocked days, and “Booked” on taken times. Never the names of matters or other attorneys.
No. Fasti is a scheduling tool used by attorneys who already brief you; nothing in it is aimed at the public. Your page is reached by the link you give an attorney, not by search.
Requests are stored on Supabase infrastructure with strict separation between advocates, processed under a POPIA operator agreement with Twelve Tables. Your calendar credentials are stored encrypted and used only to read busy times and write confirmed appointments.
