Complete practice management software,
built for what comes next.
Matters, documents, time, billing, trust, AML verification and a full general ledger, with an AI assistant built in. Built on the latest technology and hosted in Australia, by a team with 26 years in legal software.
Which of these brought you here?
Most firms are not out shopping for software. Something forces it: the system is closing down, the renewal has jumped, or the platform has stopped being developed. Start with whichever one is yours.
You are on FilePro
Several hundred Australian firms have to move before then. Kelly Mills spent 16 years inside FilePro, and Law App charges per file opened, the same model FilePro used.
What the migration involves → Renewal seasonYour renewal just landed
If the number has moved and you want to see how Law App costs out against what you are paying now, we will work through it with you before you sign anything.
Compare it properly → Nothing has changed in yearsYour platform has gone quiet
You ask for fixes and they do not arrive. LawMaster, Practice Evolve and Affinity firms are on software that works much as it did years ago, while AI and automated intake are changing how much a day’s work produces. Law App is in active development, and features get built because firms asked.

Full general accounting is the piece most platforms leave out, and it is the one a larger firm feels most. Office accounting, matter ledgers, disbursements, work in progress, invoicing, debtors and trust post to the same ledger, in the same software your fee earners already have open.

What firms say after moving across.
The recent change to the home dashboard is a standout. Customising the home screen was something I requested in our first week on the platform, and they have done it. Support has been consistently excellent. Issues and queries are addressed quickly and new features have been added on request.
One of the biggest advantages for us has been the significant cost benefit compared to our previous software. The transition was handled exceptionally well. Their team provided clear communication, practical solutions and unwavering support throughout, making what could have been a stressful change remarkably smooth.
Your searches go on the file. So does Law App.
Two structures. Choose whether the cost sits with the matter or with the firm. Both matter more as the team gets bigger, because neither one bills you a licence for every desk.
Fully recoverable
Charged per file opened. The fee is added to the matter as a disbursement, the same way you on-charge a search, so it appears on the client’s bill rather than your overheads.
- No separate per-user licence fee
- Recoverable as a disbursement
- Admin, reception and part-time staff do not carry a licence cost
Fixed monthly
A flat monthly fee with part-time and casual staff rates, for firms that would rather treat the software as a predictable overhead than recover it per matter.
- Trust, accounting, documents and billing included
- Part-time and casual staff rates
- Single year contract, no lock-in
What usually stops a firm moving.
Will it carry a firm our size?
Law App was built for firms running their own general and trust accounting in house, with the workflows a bigger team needs: multiple owners on a task, matters and documents across every practice area, and reporting across the whole firm rather than one user at a time.
What does moving actually involve?
We extract your data, map it, and run the migration with you. It is the part we have done most often, and we would rather talk you through the timing honestly than promise you a weekend.
What happens to our data?
Law Support Australia built the first bulk document extraction tool in the Australian legal software market. FilePro, SILQ and ActionStep consultants use it. Getting your files out of your current system is the part we have done most often.
Where does it actually live?
Microsoft Azure Australia East. Not a region you select at setup and hope stays put. Australian built, Australian hosted, with no overseas parent deciding otherwise.
Are we locked in?
Single year contracts. No three year terms, no director’s guarantee, no exit fees. Firms should stay because the software works, not because leaving is expensive.
Who answers when something breaks?
An Australian support team, and the same people each time. Not a ticket queue, and not someone reading from a script who has never seen a trust reconciliation.
26 years inside Australian legal software.
Law Support Australia was founded in 2000 by people who had already spent years inside Australian law firms and legal technology. We are not a startup that discovered legal software.
Sixteen of those years were inside FilePro, as a technician, state manager and eastern states agent. We know what FilePro firms relied on, and we know what a trust reconciliation looks like at 4:30pm on a Friday when something does not balance.
We are owner operated and not venture capital backed. There is no investor timetable behind the decisions we make about the product.
See it running on your own matters.
We set the demonstration up around your practice areas, your file volumes and the way your firm bills.
