Legal Practice Management Software
Many law firms run their matters on a mix of email folders, spreadsheets, a diary and an accounts package that do not talk to each other. Practice management software puts every matter, deadline, document and billable hour in one place, so nothing is missed and every hour is billed.
We start from how your firm actually works: your practice areas, how a new matter is opened and checked, how deadlines and court dates are tracked, how time is recorded and how bills are approved and sent. Then we build the system around that, in stages your team can use as they arrive, and bring your existing clients and matters across. It works on a laptop in court and on a desktop in the office. We host it, keep it secure, control who can see each matter and support it after launch, and the system is yours.
Why have it built by Baal
Every matter in one view
Clients, parties, deadlines, documents, notes, time and balances for each matter on one screen.
Deadlines and time never missed
Court dates, limitation dates and tasks with reminders, and time recorded against the matter as the work is done.
Access kept to the right people
Each matter is visible only to the people working on it, with a record of who opened, changed or sent what.
What we build
Matters and clients
Open a matter with the client, other parties and conflict check, then keep every contact, note and email against it.
Deadlines, tasks and calendar
Court dates, limitation dates and key dates per matter, assigned to fee earners with reminders before they fall due.
Documents and templates
Letters and forms produced from your own templates with the matter details filled in, stored and searchable by matter.
Time recording
Fee earners record time from a desktop or phone, against the matter and the task, with timers and daily totals.
Billing and trust accounting records
Bills built from recorded time and expenses, approved and sent, with client money and balances tracked per matter.
Client portal
Clients see progress, upload documents, sign and pay bills online in a portal under your firm's name.
