Law Firms & Legal Services
Bring order to your practice — so you can focus on winning cases.
Law firms need meticulous matter management, precise time tracking for billable hours, conflict checking, and secure document handling. We build Odoo-powered practice management systems that automate case workflows, track billable and non-billable time, manage trust accounting, and provide clients with secure portal access to their matters.
Challenges in Law Firms & Legal Services
These are the operational hurdles we help law firms & legal services businesses overcome every day.
Billable Hour Leakage
Attorneys lose an average of 2+ hours per day in unbilled time. Without real-time tracking, revenue walks out the door every day.
Matter Management Chaos
Cases span months or years with hundreds of documents, deadlines, and communications. Without a central system, critical details fall through cracks.
Trust Account Compliance
Commingling client trust funds with operating accounts is a bar violation. Manual trust accounting is error-prone and audit-risky.
Conflict Checking
Failing to identify conflicts of interest can lead to malpractice claims and bar complaints. Manual checks are slow and unreliable.
