# Consultations and executions

Follow the consultations you asked the firm for, read its advice and response, print the consultation report, and follow the court executions in which you are the client, with their procedures and collections.

A consultation is a legal question the firm answers for you; an execution enforces a court decision in which you are the client. The portal shows both as the firm records them, like your cases.

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

- You need a portal account, sent by the firm as [Give a client portal access](give-a-client-portal-access) shows.
- A consultation reaches your list when the firm opens it to portal users, you follow it and you are its client; an execution, when you are its client. [Choose what a client sees](choose-what-a-client-sees) explains the rules.

## Your consultations {#consultations}

On the portal home, click **Consultations**. The list gives each consultation's **Sequence**, **Subject**, **Deadline**, **Lawyers** and **Status**: **Draft**, **Approved**, **Late**, **Done** or **Rejected**.

**Sort By** orders them by **Newest**, **Deadline** or **Sequence**, **Filter By** keeps one status, and **Group By** groups them by **State**. The search box looks in the sequence, the subject, the lawyers or all of them. On a phone, these controls sit behind the ☰ button above the list.

## Read a consultation {#consultation}

Click a consultation's number. Beside its subject and status, the page gives the **Deadline**, and **Approved On** once approved. The tabs hold the substance:

- **Inquiry**: your question, as the firm recorded it;
- **Advice**: the firm's advice;
- **Response**: the firm's written reply;
- **Oppositions**, **Third Parties** and **Lawyers**: the parties and the firm's lawyers on the consultation.

![A consultation; the Response tab holds the firm's reply.](https://jaah.app/web/image/16536-1272d2ce/client-portal-consultations-and-executions-consultation_page-en.png)

**History** holds the messages the firm shares on the consultation, with a box to write back. **View / Print** opens the consultation report as a PDF, in the language of your contact, like [the case report](follow-your-cases-and-hearings#print). The firm's side: [Print consultation reports](/docs/law-consulting/print-consultation-reports).

## Your executions {#executions}

On the portal home, click **Executions**. The list gives each execution's **Number**, **Subject**, **Type** and **State**: **Draft**, **In Progress**, **Finished**, **Suspended** or **Rejected**. **Sort By** orders them by **Newest** or **Sequence**, **Filter By** keeps one state, and the search box looks in the sequence, the subject or both.

## Read an execution {#execution}

Click an execution's number. The page gives its **Type**, **Direct** or **Financial**, its **Court**, its **Number** at the court and its **Case** when there is one. Then the tabs:

- **Financial**, on a financial execution only: each amount paid by the debtor, with its **Payer**, **Amount**, **Paid Date** and **Payment Method**; the **Total / Paid / Remaining** line above the tabs gives what the decision awards, what has been paid and what is left;
- **Procedures**: the enforcement procedures the firm records, with their number, subject, date and state;
- **Oppositions** and **Lawyers**.

![An execution with its type, court and number; Procedures lists the enforcement steps the firm records.](https://jaah.app/web/image/16544-ac3a7706/client-portal-consultations-and-executions-execution_page-en.png)

**History** follows, as on a consultation. On an execution, **View / Print** only opens the same page again in a new tab: to keep a copy, print that page from your browser, or ask the firm for its execution report ([Print execution reports](/docs/law-execution/print-execution-reports)).

## FAQ {#faq}

### Where do I send a new legal question? {#new-question}

From **Create Legal Request** on the portal home. The firm reviews the request and registers it as a consultation or a case; [Send a new request](send-a-new-request) shows the form.

### The consultation says Late. What does it mean? {#late}

The firm approved it and has not finished it by its **Deadline**. The firm sees the same state and follows it up; write under **History** if you need an answer by a given date.

### A consultation or an execution of my company is missing. Why? {#company-records}

Both lists show the records whose client is you, as a contact; a record whose client is your company does not show. Ask the firm to record you as the client, or to send you the details.

### Can I pay the remaining amount of an execution here? {#pay}

No. The **Financial** tab follows what the debtor pays in the execution. The firm's own fees reach you as invoices, which [Invoices, quotations and payments](invoices-quotations-and-payments) covers.
