Legal practice management software that works the matter

Every matter, every date and every client in one system, with a dashboard over the whole practice and an assistant that has already read the file. Firm accounts, time tracking and invoicing are being built on top of it now. No seat minimum, nothing to install.

What is legal practice management software?

Legal practice management software is the system a firm runs its business on — every matter, every date and every client in one place, instead of an inbox, a shared drive and three calendars. These five modules are live today. The sixth the category is judged on — time tracking and billing — is being built now.

Matters

Every case the practice holds, as a typed record rather than a folder name — status, priority, case number, matter type, court, client and opposing counsel, opened and closed.

Motion to compel2d late
Discovery cutoffAug 29

Docket and calendar

Every date the practice owes, across every matter — filings, hearings, notice periods — plus standalone tasks that belong to a person rather than a case. Overdue sorts first.

Clients and conflicts

Who the practice acts for and against, with a typed role on every name — and a check that compares a new matter's parties against every other matter on your books.

Documents

The practice's file library, filed by matter — including drafts written in the assistant and saved straight into the case rather than downloaded and re-uploaded.

Peak week8 deadlines

Reporting

The numbers most solos only ever estimate — how the deadline load falls over the coming weeks, what the case mix is made of, and which matters have gone quiet.

Everything a matter needs, in one place

The matter, the dates, the parties, the documents and the drafting all live in the same place — and the assistant can reach every one of them. No exporting, no re-uploading, no tab you forgot was open.

Inside a single matter

This page is the view across your practice

Open one matter and there is a whole workspace behind it — six tabs, a full audit trail, and an assistant that can read the file and write back to it.

See how a single matter works

Every matter you hold, on one screen

A practice list is for narrowing, not scrolling. Status tabs carry live counts and search covers the whole matter record — not just the title.

  • Search across title, case number, matter type, client, court, opposing counsel and tags
  • Filter by priority and tag; group by status, priority, type or client
  • Each row shows its next deadline and flags anything already overdue
  • Applied filters show as removable chips, so a narrowed list never reads as empty
  • Status tabs carry live counts, so you can see the shape of the practice at a glance
The matter list: status tabs with counts, search, and per-row next deadline

The dates that end careers, in one place

One grid over every matter the practice holds. Deadlines can belong to a case or to you — standalone tasks have no matter attached, so the things that keep a practice running don't have to be filed under a client to exist.

The cross-matter calendar: every task and deadline across every case, in one month grid
One calendar over the whole practice — every task and deadline on every matter, not one case at a time.

Overdue sorts first

A missed filing matters more than next month's hearing, so nothing ever skips past an overdue item to show you a tidier future date.

Drag to reschedule

The month grid moves a date by dragging it. The agenda view lists the same dates in order when a grid is the wrong shape for the question.

One digest a day

An email listing what is overdue, due today and coming up — at your hour, in your timezone and language. Opt-in and off by default.

Export to your calendar

Pending deadlines download as an .ics file with reminder alarms included, so they can also live in Outlook or Google Calendar.

The view above the matters

A matter list tells you what exists. A dashboard tells you whether the practice is in trouble — how the deadline load falls, what the case mix looks like, and which matters have gone quiet.

The practice dashboard: KPI row, deadline-load chart, case mix and matters by type
The dashboard covers every matter in your account at once — the deadline load, the case mix, and anything that has gone quiet.

Stale matters

Open matters nothing has been recorded against in weeks. The ones that turn into a complaint are almost always on this list first.

What your week looks like after

Most solo practices are not running bad software — they are running no software, spread across an inbox, a shared drive and a calendar that does not know a filing deadline from a lunch. This is what changes.

The rest of the practice, shipping soon

Everything above this line is live today. These three are in active development — the back-office half of practice management, built on the same matters you are already working in. They arrive on the plan you are already paying for, with no migration and no upgrade.

Firm accounts

One firm, many lawyers, one set of matters

Matters stop belonging to one login. Invite the firm, give everyone a role, and assign work — while the conflict check finally sees every matter the firm holds rather than every matter you personally opened.

  • Invite colleagues by email and give each a role — partner, associate, paralegal
  • Assign a matter, or a single task on it, to someone else in the firm
  • A firm-wide view of the docket, not just your own slice of it
  • Conflict checks widen to the whole firm's book of business
  • Per-matter access, so a paralegal sees the files they work on

Time tracking

Capture the hour while you work it

A timer that starts on the matter you already have open, so time is recorded where the work happens instead of reconstructed from memory on a Friday afternoon.

  • Start and stop a timer against the open matter in one click
  • Add entries by hand after the fact, with the matter pre-filled
  • Rates per matter, per client or per person
  • A daily and weekly total that shows what was actually billable
  • Every entry lands on the matter, so it is there when the invoice is drawn

Billing and invoicing

An invoice built from the work you already logged

Draw an invoice straight from the matter's time entries. No re-keying, no spreadsheet in between, and no month-end reconstruction of what you did three weeks ago.

  • Generate a draft invoice from a matter's unbilled time
  • Edit lines, add fixed fees and disbursements before it goes out
  • Send it to the client and track sent, viewed, paid and overdue
  • Outstanding balance per client and per matter on the dashboard
  • Export for your accountant, so bookkeeping stays where it already is

Legal practice management questions

Legal practice management software is the system a law firm runs its business on. Every matter becomes a typed record — status, priority, case number, matter type, court, client and opposing counsel — and the software puts the whole book of business in one place: the matters, the docket across all of them, the clients, the documents, and the reporting that tells you how the practice is doing. The point of the category is that the answer to "where are we on everything?" lives in one system rather than spread across an inbox, a shared drive and three calendars.
