Ecosystem · LSPs
Legal service providers
Firms host practice infrastructure — usually via a TSP — while clients authorise which applications can access their own matters, documents, and financials.
What firms do
- Publish Open Law endpoints through a Technical Service Provider
- Present client consent for access to the client's own data
- Do not allowlist which client-facing apps clients may use
- Rely on Directory SSAs and FAPI for cryptographic trust
Open Banking analogy
LSPs are the ASPSP analogue: they are the authoritative hosts of regulated practice data. Clients are data subjects, not Directory participants.
