Software for law firms

Matter management, client intake, time capture, document workflow and client portals — for firms that bill by the hour, hold privileged material and cannot lose a file. Built so that finding, billing and proving are the same system.

Who this is for

Practices whose product is judgement and whose liability is the record of it.

A law firm interior, files and bound volumes

Law firms

Full-service and boutique practices. Matters, deadlines, documents and time in one structure, with conflicts checked at intake rather than after the engagement letter has gone out.

Notaries and conveyancers

High-volume, template-driven files. Structured intake, document generation, signature and archiving, with statutory retention handled by the system rather than by memory.

In-house legal teams

Contract intake from the rest of the business, clause libraries, approval routing and renewal dates that surface before they lapse instead of after.

What we can do for a firm

Most of what a firm needs from software is three things: find the file, bill the time, prove what happened.

01

Matter and case management

Matters, parties, deadlines and documents in one structure, with conflicts checked at intake. A limitation date that lives in one calendar is a limitation date somebody misses.

02

Time capture people actually use

Recording time where the work happens — in the document, in the inbox, on the phone. A timer that needs a separate screen is a timer nobody starts, and unbilled time is the largest silent loss in most firms.

03

Privilege, access and ethical walls

Per-matter permissions and walls enforced by the system rather than by everyone remembering, with a record of who opened what. A breach here is a professional problem, not an IT one.

04

Client intake and portals

Structured intake that becomes a matter without rekeying, and a portal where a client sees status and uploads documents instead of emailing a 30MB attachment to a partner.

Confidentiality is structural

A firm's two obligations are keeping material confidential and being able to say exactly what happened to it. Both are decided by how the system stores and releases documents, not by a policy written on top of it.

Per-matter access, ethical walls, immutable audit trail, retention rules
Integrations
Practice management, document management, e-signature, accounting
Data residency
EU hosting by default; single-tenant where the client requires it

Intake, matters and time capture in 8–14 weeks

Solutions we build

The systems this sector asks for most. Each one ships as its own increment, so the first release is in use while the next is being built.

  • Matter and case management systems
  • Client intake, conflicts checking and engagement letters
  • Time capture, billing and trust accounting workflows
  • Document generation, versioning and e-signature
  • Secure client portals and file exchange
  • Contract lifecycle management for in-house teams
  • Deadline, limitation and renewal tracking
  • AI assistance: document summarisation, clause search, intake triage

Questions this sector asks

Often not. If it holds ten years of matters and works, the better project is usually to build what it lacks — intake, a portal, reporting — against its API. Replacement is worth it when the system is the reason people keep files elsewhere.

In the EU by default, and in a single-tenant deployment where a client's own obligations require it. We put the answer in writing at discovery, because in this sector it is usually a question your clients have already asked you.

Yes — iManage, NetDocuments, SharePoint and the file shares that are still in use. Documents stay where they are; what we build is the structure and the search around them.

Only where the model runs somewhere you control or under an agreement that forbids training on your data, and only on material you have chosen to expose. If neither is available for a use case, we say the feature is not appropriate rather than shipping it with a disclaimer.

Yes. Single-tenant in your own cloud account or on your own infrastructure, defined as code so it can be rebuilt. Firms whose clients impose their own hosting terms usually need this, and it is easier decided at the start than retrofitted.

It was always yours. Repositories, infrastructure definitions and a documented export from the first release, so leaving is an administrative step and not a negotiation.

What would this cost?

Four questions and you have a budget and timeline range. It is a range because the width is the honest measure of what is still unknown.
