Custom Legal Software

Home Industry Software Solutions Custom Legal Software

Legal software built for law firms, notaries, in-house legal teams and legal tech companies. Standard practice management software covers the usual way of working. We build software for everything beyond that: matter management that fits how your firm works, document automation for your own templates, contract management and integrations with the systems you already use.

  • Matters and deadlines under control: every matter, party, deadline and task in one place, with timely alerts.
  • Less drafting by hand: letters, agreements and court documents generated from matter data.
  • Confidential: permissions per matter, encryption, audit trail and processing in line with the GDPR.
  • Integrated: with Outlook, SharePoint, your document management, accounting and e-signature.

Software for Legal Teams

Case management software. Matters, parties, conflict checks, deadlines, tasks, correspondence and time recording per matter. Built around the workflows of your practice area, from litigation to corporate.

Document automation. Your own templates and clauses as smart templates: answer the questions, document ready. Including version control and signing with, for example, DocuSign.

Contract management. One register for every contract, with terms, notice periods, obligations and timely reminders. Especially valuable for in-house legal teams.

Time recording and billing. Hours and disbursements per matter, invoice proposals according to your fee arrangements, and integration with your accounting system.

Why Custom Legal Software?

Many firms run a standard package and fill the gaps with spreadsheets, Word macros and email. Custom software pays off when:

  • your practice area has workflows the package doesn't support;
  • you draft many similar documents that could be automated;
  • data is entered twice across matter system, document management and accounting;
  • you want to give clients their own portal to view documents and progress;
  • you are a legal tech company building your own product.

Sometimes the best answer isn't a new system but an integration or extension on top of your existing package. We'll tell you honestly.

How We Build Your Legal Software

  1. Discovery. We map your workflows, matter types, documents and systems, with confidentiality from the first conversation. We sign a non-disclosure agreement upfront on request.
  2. Design. Screens, permissions, data model and integrations in a design you review before development starts.
  3. Short development sprints. We start with the core, for example matters and deadlines, and expand from there.
  4. Rollout. Migrating existing matters and documents, training staff, integrations going live.
  5. Operations and evolution. Hosting, security updates and new features.

Frequently Asked Questions about Legal Software

What about confidentiality and the GDPR?

Access is controlled per matter and per role, data is stored encrypted and every action is recorded in an audit trail. You decide where the data is hosted, for example within the EU.

Can it connect to our existing practice management system?

Often, yes, if that system has an API or export options. We then build additional functionality around it rather than replacing everything.

Does it work with Outlook and Word?

Yes. Emails can be filed to a matter from Outlook, and documents are generated as Word files based on your own templates.

Do we own the source code?

You can. Ownership of the source code is set out in the contract, and the code can be fully yours, including documentation and tests.
