LawPractica Software Inc.
Law firms do not all look the same. A mixed general practice, a family boutique, and a litigation group all run files, people, and money — but the day feels different. LawPractica is one product family for that work, across specialties and across the people who keep the firm moving.
LawPractica ships with a default set of law and matter types so a new firm can start filing work the way a practice actually runs — not as one generic “legal file.” Firms keep these types, rename them, or add their own. Below is the list as it comes in the product, written for the work each type usually carries.
Boards, regulators, and statutory decision-makers. The file has to hold the record, the deadline, and the next appearance together.
Acting as agent for another lawyer or firm. The work is still a file — with a clear owner, a clear client, and a clear end.
People and businesses resetting under court process. Creditors, dates, and money held for others all have to stay in view.
Files that move on the child’s timeline. Parties, orders, and next steps have to be easy to find under pressure.
Pleadings, discoveries, and a calendar of steps. The file should show the path of the dispute, not a pile only one person understands.
Entities, deals, and ongoing commercial advice. Parallel files are normal — the firm still has to know which one is waiting on whom.
Advice and guidance that may never become a dispute. The relationship and the advice given still need a durable file.
Prosecutions and related criminal process. Appearances, disclosure, and the next court date have to be on the file, not in someone’s head.
Defence of the accused. The file has to keep disclosure, instructions, and upcoming appearances together when time is short.
Work tied to serving on a board. Resolutions, conflicts, and advice to the organization need a home of their own.
Talent, rights, and productions. Contracts and credits change often — the file has to keep the current deal in sight.
Approvals, contamination, and statutory duties. The record of advice and filings has to last as long as the issue does.
People, dates, and often money. The file has to hold the family story while the matter is still unfolding.
British Columbia motor-vehicle defence work. Claims, medical records, and insurer instructions need a disciplined file from first notice to resolution.
Restructuring and creditor work that is not always a bankruptcy filing. The money trail and the parties have to stay current.
What was protected, for whom, and what comes next. Filings and commercial use have to be findable years later.
Cross-border parties, other legal systems, and extra documents. The file still has to read as one matter in this office.
Unions, workplaces, and collective relationships. Advice, grievances, and hearings need a shared chronology.
Local government, bylaws, and public process. The file has to track the municipality, the issue, and the next statutory step.
The client’s story, the medical record, and the path to recovery. Limitation dates and money have to stay aligned with the file.
Volume, closing dates, and money in trust. The office has to move many files at once without losing the one that completes this week.
Offerings, reporting issuers, and market rules. The file has to keep the transaction and the disclosure history together.
Advice, filings, and disputes with the revenue authority. Positions taken and documents relied on need a clean history.
Planning, probate, and administration. The file has to stay findable when the plan is called on — often years later.
Not every file is a client specialty. LawPractica also ships types for how the office itself works — so internal time, projects, and trust-related administration are not forced into a client law type.
The work of running the office. It belongs on a file of its own so it does not hide inside a client matter.
Learning, courses, and competence hours. Tracked as work — not lost in a personal calendar.
Internal or client projects that are not a standard law type. One place for the work until it is done.
Opinions and research that may serve many files. The work still needs an owner and a record.
A lawyer’s own non-client work, kept separate from firm client files.
When the work does not fit a shipped type yet. Better a clear “other” than a mislabelled client file.
A product only works if the people who run the firm can use it. LawPractica is designed for the whole office — not only the lawyer who owns the file. IT teams can also run a private cloud: the database and application stay in the firm’s own hosting environment, on-premises or with the provider the firm already trusts.
Need files to move without becoming the bottleneck. The job is consistent process across the firm, not chasing status in five places.
Need the office to run from one operating picture — people, files, and the day-to-day work that keeps the doors open.
Need a product the firm can actually adopt — including a private cloud. The database and application can be hosted in the firm’s own environment: on-premises, or with any provider the firm chooses, so client data does not have to leave the hosting boundary IT already controls.
Need to see how the practice is performing without living in reports. The firm’s work and the firm’s money should be readable from the same product family.
Need books that follow legal-practice rules — not generic office accounting dressed up after the fact. The ledgers have to match how a law firm actually holds and spends money.
Need the file in front of them. Time spent hunting for the next step is time not spent on the client.
LawPractica Software Inc. also works with legal, bookkeeping, and accounting firms that already serve law firms. You do not have to build software. You put the product in front of clients you already know — under LawPractica’s brand, under a co-brand, or as a packaged service with your name on the door.
A co-brand can carry your logo with a discreet “Powered by LawPractica,” an optional custom domain, or a presentation your clients see as yours. Program details are shared directly with firms. If branding is how you want to deliver the product, start with a conversation.
