Custom legal software for the part off-the-shelf never covers
We build custom legal software around your practice: matter management, procedural deadlines, time tracking and billing — including the legal document automation software the packaged suites leave out.
Where billable time and deadlines leak
Hours get worked and never recorded, because recording them means leaving the matter you're in the middle of. A procedural deadline sits in one partner's calendar and nobody else is watching it. Billing waits on somebody rebuilding a month from memory. None of that is a discipline problem — it is what happens when the tools were never shaped around how a firm actually works.
- Matters in spreadsheets, deadlines in a calendar, hours from memory
- Critical deadlines with no staggered alerts
- Time recorded after the fact, when the detail is already gone
- Billing delayed because the detail has to be reconstructed
What we build
The legal stack, shaped to your practice
Matter management
Every matter with client, subject, opposing party, procedural stage, documents and timeline. The whole history in one place, months later.
- Matter types configurable by practice area
- Versioned, digitally signed documents
- Timeline with every action taken
Deadlines and alerts
Procedural deadlines calculated from your own rules, with alerts that escalate as the date approaches instead of one reminder nobody sees.
- Automatic calculation by deadline type
- Staggered email and WhatsApp alerts
- Critical-deadline view per team
Time tracking that actually gets used
A timer inside the matter, retroactive entries with reusable descriptions, and a weekly view of hours by lawyer, client and subject.
- One-click timer per matter
- Retroactive entry with reusable descriptions
- Hours report by lawyer and by client
Legal document automation software
Documents assembled from your own templates and the matter data, so the work becomes reviewing a draft instead of retyping one.
- Templates fed by matter and client data
- Detailed invoices built from recorded hours
- Local electronic invoicing integrated

FAQ
What firms ask before starting
Why custom legal software instead of buying a legal suite?
Most firms should buy. A packaged suite covers matters, documents and hours well enough, and if it fits your practice we will tell you to keep it. Custom legal software earns its cost when the firm has a workflow the suite refuses to model: an unusual deadline rule, a reporting format a large client demands, an integration with a system the vendor is never going to build.
How is legal document automation software different from templates?
A template still needs someone to fill it in and to remember which clauses this particular matter requires. Legal document automation software pulls the data from the matter itself, applies the rules you defined and hands the lawyer a draft to review, with version history attached. The judgement stays with the lawyer; the retyping doesn't.
How is a procedural deadline calculated?
You define the rules by deadline type — calendar days, business days, specific statutory terms — and the system subtracts holidays and notifies in advance. You validate those rules once, in writing, and from then on they are applied the same way every time. When a rule changes, it changes in one place instead of in everyone's calendar.
Does it hold up to client confidentiality?
It is built for it: infrastructure you control, encryption in transit and at rest, access logs and permissions per matter, so someone working one case cannot read another. If a client's due diligence asks for a specific certification, we work toward it with you rather than claiming one we don't hold.
