Practice management for modern law firms
Matters, hearings, tasks and the whole team in one register, with the court rules built in. Deadlines count themselves, clashes are caught the moment they're entered, and the week's cause list is ready to print.
Lightweight, and runs in the browser. Managed hosting, your own cloud account, or on‑premises.
Court diary
Every hearing in one diary. Clashes flagged as soon as they are entered.
Record each attendance with its outcome and the next date, then see the week by counsel or the month at a glance. When one counsel is listed before two courts at once, both hearings are marked: in the diary, on the dashboard and on the printed cause list.
- Clashes
- Same counsel, same day, different courts, starting within two hours of each other.
- Awaiting outcome
- A hearing that passes with no outcome stays on the dashboard until one is recorded.
- Calendars
- Each lawyer's hearings as a calendar file for Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar.
Statutory deadlines
Due dates reckoned under C.I. 47, around weekends and public holidays.
Choose the rule and enter the trigger date. The period is counted as Order 80 requires, and a last day that falls when the court office is closed moves to the next working day. Periods of seven days or fewer leave weekends and public holidays out of the count.
The worked example
Fourteen days from Friday 20 November. Day 14 is Farmers' Day and the weekend follows, so the defence is due on Monday 7 December.
A library of 117 rules
Under C.I. 47, C.I. 19, C.I. 16 and C.I. 59, each with its authority and whether it has been verified.
Your firm's holidays
Public holidays are kept in Settings, and every due date is counted against them, forward or back.
Cause lists and client reports
The week's paperwork, ready to print.
The cause list sets out the week's hearings day by day, for the firm or for one counsel, with a column for the outcome. Client reports give the position on each of a client's matters, with internal remarks removed.
- Print or PDF
- Black on white, A4 landscape, nothing on the page but the report.
- Matter summaries
- One page per matter with its full court history.
- Briefings
- A morning briefing for each lawyer and a weekly digest, ready to send.
Firm oversight
Assign the work, and see where it stands.
Administrators are working lawyers with oversight on top. They invite colleagues, set each person's role, assign matters singly or in bulk, and see every lawyer's matters, hearings and overdue tasks. Lawyers see the matters they lead or assist on.
- Invitations
- By email and role. Each link works once and expires after 14 days.
- Roles
- Administrator or lawyer, set by an administrator. Nobody changes their own.
- Activity
- Every change to a matter, diary entry or task is logged with who made it.
Security and deployment
Client records, held where your firm decides.
Client files are the firm's responsibility, so the firm chooses where they are kept. The product is the same wherever it runs.
Managed
We host it, update it and back it up. Your records are held in the region you choose when the firm is set up.
- Ready the same day
- Region chosen at set-up
- Updates and backups handled
Your cloud account
One server in your firm's own AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean or Hetzner account, in the region you choose.
- Runs with Docker
- Your account, your keys
- Your backup schedule
On-premises
The same set-up on a server in your office or data room, reached over the office network or a VPN.
- Records stay in the building
- Office network or VPN
- Your hardware
- Each firm kept apart
- Row-level security in the database keeps every firm's records to itself, and each lawyer to their own matters.
- Access approved by an administrator
- Nobody sees a matter until an administrator has invited them and set their role. Access can be switched off at once.
- Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843)
- The firm decides where personal data is held, in line with its duties as a data controller.
- Backups you control
- Export the whole dataset at any time and restore it in one step. Self-hosted firms add nightly database dumps.
- A record of every change
- Additions, edits and deletions on matters, diary entries and tasks are written to the activity log.
- Confirmed accounts
- Every account is confirmed by email, with passwords of at least ten characters.
