Deadlines

Off-the-shelf CRMs were built for a sales team. Not for law firms.

Court deadlines live in three diaries and one head — and a missed date isn’t lost revenue, it’s a negligence claim and an insurance call.

Time gets reconstructed from memory on Friday afternoon. Every forgotten six-minute unit is fee income quietly given away.

The matter file is spread across email, a shared drive and a cabinet — answering “any news on my case?” starts with twenty minutes of archaeology.

Billing happens when someone finally has a quiet week, so WIP sits unbilled for months and the firm’s cash flow limps behind its workload.

See it from the inside

What your CRM would look like — screen by screen.

Not stock screenshots — this is the shape of the system we’d build for law firms: your records, your stages, your words. Click through the screens.

The senior partner’s morning screen — what’s due at court, what’s sitting unbilled, and what the system already chased before nine.

A real starting point

Here’s the analysis we’d start from — for law firms.

Not a template. This is the data model, pipeline and automations a business like yours actually runs on — mapped in your words. Your free analysis produces exactly this, shaped to you.

Your system, mapped

Your pipeline, exactly as your CRM would show it — your stages, your words. This is what we build from.

Questions law firms ask us

Can it work alongside our accounts package and e-signature tool?
Yes — we build around what you already run. Invoices export straight to your accounts package, engagement letters go out for e-signature, and anything with an export or API can feed the one screen the firm works from.
Deadlines are a professional-negligence risk — can we trust a system with them?
That’s exactly why they shouldn’t live in one person’s diary. Every court date, limitation and filing deadline sits on one ladder of reminders — 30, 14, 7 and 1 days out — visible to the whole firm, so a fee earner on holiday doesn’t take the diary with them.
How long until we’re live?
A working prototype in about a week for €500. The full build usually lands in three to six weeks, depending on how many practice areas and integrations are in scope.
Who owns the system and the client data?
You do — entirely. It’s your system, hosted for you, and you can export everything at any time. No per-seat lock-in.
