Platform

Everything your firm runs on, in one workspace.

Stop stitching together five tools. Matter management, billing, AI drafting, HR & leave, requisitions, messaging — all native, all connected.

Matter management

Custom workflows per practice area, prescription-date alerts, and full audit trails on every change.

AI drafting

Generate letters, pleadings, and contracts in your firm's tone — rendered onto your own letterhead.

HR portal

Employees, contracts, payslips, performance reviews, and a clean self-service portal.

Leave applications

Online applications, multi-step approvals, balance tracking, and a team calendar.

SMS & WhatsApp

Send updates, court reminders, and bulk notifications via SMS or WhatsApp Business.

Billing & invoicing

Time entries, disbursements, multi-currency invoices, and statements — produced from the matter.

Requisitions

Disbursement requests with receipt uploads and multi-step approval flows your auditor will love.

Trust accounting

LPC-compliant trust ledgers, automatic reconciliation, and instant per-matter trust balances.

Calendar & diary

Court dates, deadlines, prescription warnings, and team availability — synced to your devices.

Client portal

Clients sign in, view matters, e-sign documents, and message your team. White-labelled.

Document vault

Versioned cloud storage, OCR search, and full-text search across every document you've filed.

Insights & reports

Productivity, revenue, and partner-level performance dashboards. Exports to PDF and Excel.

Transcription

Record consultations and meetings on the matter. The transcript appears live as you speak and is saved to the file.

Disbursements

Capture sheriff's fees, filing costs and other disbursements against the matter, approve them, and recover them on the invoice.

Workflows for every practice

RAF, conveyancing, estates, labour, family and more, each with its own stages, forms, checklists and task automation.

Plus many more workflows, from conveyancing transfers and RAF claims to estate administration and compliance checklists, configured to the way your firm works.

Billing & trust

Know exactly what is owed, collected and held in trust.

Fee notes and disbursements come straight from the matter, and the payment summary shows what is due today, due this month and overdue, at a glance.

  • Invoices and statements produced from the file
  • Disbursements recovered on the invoice
  • LPC-compliant trust ledgers per client and matter
  • Export to PDF and Excel for your auditor
