Where Law App pulls ahead.

The capabilities firms tell us they could not get elsewhere without a second system.

Key difference

Built-in general ledger

Office accounting and trust on one ledger with your matters. No Xero or MYOB subscription and no second system to reconcile.

Key difference

Auto time capture

Time on each file is recorded as you work and turned into time entries. The missed time finder picks up work that never reached a time sheet.

Key difference

Lawrence, AI inside the file

Opens a new file from a contract, turns a dictated time sheet or file note into entries, and tells you where each matter is at and what is due.

Key difference

AML compliance built in

Client checks, identity verification, PEP and sanctions screening and AUSTRAC records held on the contact. No separate AML subscription.

Key difference

Templates and court forms included

1,200 new templates added this year alone, and court forms that fill themselves from the matter. No template add-on to buy.

Key difference

Online intake forms

Clients enter their own details and upload their documents before the matter opens, so your staff are not retyping them.

Key difference

Phone messages on the file

Calls are logged from any screen, sent to the right person and kept on the file's timeline. No paper slips and no separate message tool.

Key difference

Budgets and partner dashboard

Set budgets for each fee earner and each file, and see time, billing and collections against them on a dashboard you arrange yourself.
