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.

— Practice Manager, Australian Law Firm
“

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

What FilePro firms tell us they need

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

Everything FilePro had — and more

FilePro had general accounting, trust accounting, and document management built in. So does Law App — plus Australian legal templates supplied, per file pricing, automatic cost recovery to the client, and a modern cloud platform that FilePro never was. You are not giving anything up. You are gaining fifteen years of technology advancement.

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 — no 3-year trap

Law App offers single year contracts only. No 3-year lock-ins, no exit traps. Compare that to ActionStep who are asking FilePro firms to commit to long-term contracts under migration pressure with a September deadline. Take your time. Choose right.

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.

Kelly's 15 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.
