From FilePro firms

FilePro firms have already made the move.

The feedback is consistent — the transition is simpler than firms expect, and Law App is easy to navigate from day one.

The transition from FilePro was simpler than we expected. Kelly knew our system inside out and the migration was smooth from day one.

Within a week our team was navigating Law App confidently. It is more intuitive than we expected after so many years on FilePro.

“

The per file pricing felt immediately familiar. And having general accounting built in has made a genuine difference to how we run the firm.

Information based on publicly available pricing and feature data. Last updated 14 August 2026. FilePro's per file pricing model is matched only by Law App among all current alternatives.

What FilePro firms tell us they need

Two things that matter most when you are moving off FilePro.

Per file pricing — your clients can fund your software

FilePro charged per file — and so does Law App. Of all the alternatives available to FilePro firms, Law App is the only one that matches the pricing model you are already used to. Law App charges per matter opened — not per user per month. Better still, that per file charge can be added directly to the client's file as a disbursement. For many firms the software effectively pays for itself.

Single year contracts — because things change

Law App offers single year contracts only — never three. Firms grow, shrink, take on new practice areas, or simply outgrow decisions made in a hurry. A lot can shift in three years, and locking in a long commitment right when you're under pressure to migrate off FilePro by a fixed deadline is a bet you shouldn't have to make. We'd rather earn your renewal every twelve months than hold you to a decision made under pressure. Take your time. Choose right — and know you're never more than a year away from changing course.

The process

What moving from FilePro to Law App looks like

We have done this before. Here is what happens from your first call to go-live.

Data migration

Kelly's 16 years of FilePro experience means we understand your data at a level most migration teams simply do not. Your trust records, your templates, your history — we know what matters.

4

Go live with support

Dedicated onboarding and ongoing local support from day one. You have a direct number. You know who answers it. They understand your system because they helped you migrate to it.

The clock is running.

FilePro reaches end of life 31 December 2026. ActionStep's migration windows are filling from September 2026. Now is the time to have the conversation.
