user-friendly and intuitive ... allows me to professionally and seamlessly manage my fees
Simone Dickson, Simone Dickson Consultant
LawPracticeZA has been a game-changer for me after starting my own consultancy. I was very used to having an assistant dedicated to handling all of my admin and having to take this on myself was daunting to say the least! I heard about LawPracticeZA while chatting to other attorneys who had recently gone on their own and this has proven to be one of the most valuable investments I have made into my own business! The system is user-friendly and intuitive and allows me to professionally and seamlessly manage my fees, time recordal, invoicing, collections, debtors and client reporting with hardly any effort (I don’t think I have even scratched the surface of what functionality the system is capable of). The LawPracticeZA support team has also been great with exceptional “above and beyond” response times. I couldn’t recommend it more.

LawPracticeZA is now paying for itself…
Cormac Cullinan, Cullinan & Associates
We have been very happy with our move to LawPracticeZA and I have no hesitation in recommending it. LawPracticeZA is now paying for itself because it is easier for our lawyers to record their time, the search functions make it quicker to find what one is looking for, and the amount of time our administrative staff spend preparing invoices has been substantially reduced. We found the transition to LawPracticeZA surprisingly easy after our experiences with other accounting and time-recording software. LawPracticeZA assisted us to upload our data across and because the product is so intuitive to use, our staff required very little training. We have also appreciated the fact that the developers (Nitric) were willing and able to make the minor adjustment we asked for to make the software work better for us.

One of the things we love is how easy it is to rectify errors ... huge time-saver
Jaimin Patel, Rui Lopes Attorneys
Lopes Attorneys has been using LawPracticeZA for the well over a year now, prior to the end of last year we moved over to another service and since came back to LawPracticeZA, and we’ve been really impressed with how easy it is to use, and regret leaving.

Even if you're not familiar with time tracking or invoicing software, you'll be able to get up and running with LawPracticeZA in no time.

This is a huge time-saver, and it helps to ensure that your narrations and captured data is always accurate. Another great thing about LawPracticeZA is that it's cloud-based. This means that you can access your data from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. This is especially helpful for us as we work from multiple locations and travel frequently. The system is constantly evolving and being updated, you can tell that it was a labour of love developing this system which is affordable, professional and hugely effective in the day to day running for the Firm. Overall, I'm very impressed with LawPracticeZA. It's a simple, easy-to-use, and effective time tracking and invoicing system that we would highly recommend to anyone.

Mastering LawPracticeZA has been hassle free
Pieter Heyneke, Head of Legal: Moolman Group
As a growing in-house legal department we required a system to effectively structure and manage our day-to-day legal matters and to accurately report back to the board on hours 'billed' to each of the investment companies we represent. LawPracticeZA has made it possible for us to structure the in-house legal department like an attorneys firm, allowing us to open files for matters, allocating hours spent to matters and diarising matters – amongst others.

The system is an absolute pleasure to work with, providing simplified but comprehensive recording, billing, reports and the like...
Danielle Brown, Martin Attorneys
Our firm began using LawPracticeZA in May 2018 and will not even consider looking elsewhere. The system is an absolute pleasure to work with, providing simplified but comprehensive recording, billing, reports and the like. What most stands out about LawPracticeZA is not only the very reasonable price and the valuable time it saves the firm in doing all of the accounting and management; it is the absolutely outstanding customer service they offer. Andrew has always responded in a very timeous manner, offering a very detailed explanation of how to perform tasks and transactions and how to rectify any mistakes that have been made by the user. I would recommend LawPracticeZA to any person/firm without any hesitation whatsoever because every single thing about it is just so efficient. LawPracticeZA is a credit to the developers and to our firm and as such has become a valuable asset.

A fantastic tool... back office support has been exceptional

Overall, super impressed! Don't know how we managed in the first place.
Adam Pike, Pike Law
The transfer of our accounting and client data from the on-site database server to the cloud based solution was seamless, and hassle free. The usefulness of the systems is that it is browser based, which means that one can record time from a mobile device, which very few platforms offer at LawPracticeZA's price point. The systems offers many pathways to effective client and matter management. Moreover, invoices and statements can be generated and sent to clients with a couple of ticks and a few more clicks of a mouse. Generally, billing and bookkeeping is simplified and streamlined. Importantly for a growing practice, the solution is scalable, intuitive and user-friendly. The graphic interface gives each practitioner a broad view of their day-to-day performance. The integration between the software and our calendar client is super useful to busy (read "administratively impaired") practitioners. The pivot tables in the excel spreadsheets is a potent management and planning tool, that assists with calculating performance incentives and measurement. Overall, super impressed! Don't know how we managed in the first place.

... an effective system at a reasonable price... makes my life easy to work with your online system...
Adv Lionel G Marx, Trust Accountant Advocate
Hi Andrew and the team
I am very satisfied with LawPracticeZA. Your support has always been in good time whenever I have had an enquiry. As a Trust Account Advocate, it makes my life easy to work with your online system as I have to spend my time rather on writing fees, consultations and court appearances.
I would really recommend your system to legal practitioners who require an effective system at a reasonable price.
Your payslips system have been ideal for me and works well. It is quite comprehensive on detail on the payslip.
Your team has always been willing to listen regarding my needs as a Trust Account Advocate and accordingly developing your system for the changing profession's requirements.
Once again, thank you.

All this adds up to a very comprehensive system that we use on a daily basis. I am happy to see continued improvements and new features in the system and regularly recommend LawPracticeZA to my colleagues.

Drafting accounts is quick and simple which has led to both a dramatic increase in the number of invoices we have been able to generate monthly
William Hardy, Moors & Dlamini Attorneys
LawPracticeZA has proved to be a valuable addition to our firm. The interface is simple and easy to use, making training staff easy and fast. The cloud nature of the server saves costs and administration on backups giving us peace of mind. Drafting accounts is quick and simple which has led to both a dramatic increase in the number of invoices we have been able to generate monthly and increased the accuracy of those accounts. The many reports provided has further enabled us to quickly and easily follow up on outstanding accounts and track the progress of our fee earners. Most notable however has been the willingness of the staff at LawPracticeZA to take on suggestions for improvements in the software and the speed with which they are implemented.

Easy and convenient to use
Prebash Naicker - Bookkeeper, Eversheds Sutherland KZN
In the beginning I was a bit sceptical of LawPracticeZA as I was comfortable using our previous accounting programme. LawPracticeZA were able to tailor make the programmes to suit our requirements and the interfaces were easy and convenient to use. At a click of a mouse I was able to generate specific reports without any hassles or time consuming tasks. Their support services are outstanding as issues are resolved speedily and requests to fine tune the programme, reports etc are acted upon immediately. Overall it is a pleasant experience working with LawPracticeZA.

Jonathan Blanché, Blanché Attorneys Inc
LawPracticeZA has been a game changer for our firm. We are a relatively new firm which has faced rapid growth over a short period of time which in turn created an administrative nightmare! I was unable to keep up with the demand, having to manually capture fees and create invoices to the point that it was a full time job causing other parts of the business to be neglected. With LawPracticeZA, I now have much more time to focus on the business as well as further my studies to grow my career! Invoices / statements are created within a minute with ease! My staff capture all their fees on the system with minimal training required and allows me to track the activities throughout the period, the cashflow for the business has drastically improved and the system can do so much more. Support staff are also incredibly prompt and sufficient. Strongly recommend...

LawPracticeZA has been one of the most valuable tools in my practice. It's simple and easy to use, but most importantly the support from the LawPracticeZA team is amazing and only an email away. Quick response time with clear explanations. It's also cost effective as it offers variable prices depending on the number of users. So even for the small law firm it is definitely worth it.

... significantly cheaper than our previous legal accounting system... [and] has also proved to be a great deal more functional and user-friendly
Mike Matthews, MICHAEL MATTHEWS & ASSOCIATES
We migrated our accounting system to LawPracticeZA about a year ago and we haven’t looked back since. Not only is the LawPracticeZA platform significantly cheaper than our previous legal accounting system, but it has also proved to be a great deal more functional and user-friendly. That LawPracticeZA is a cloud-based legal accounting solution means that we are not restricted to using its considerable benefits only from our office, since we can access LawPracticeZA anywhere. We have made suggestions to Andrew and his team from time to time concerning what we consider to be value adds for our practice and our suggestions have always been enthusiastically accepted and effectively acted on. I strongly recommend LawPracticeZA to my colleagues.

We are very happy with our move... the new dashboard is a personal favourite...
Clynette Gildenhuys, Roodt Gildenhuys Incorporated
We joined LawPracticeZA in December 2016 and since are very happy with our move, and we have no hesitation in recommending this software to any law firm. The product is extremely user friendly. The functions of recording time, searching, drafting and invoicing are easy and saves a lot of time. The new Dashboard is a personal favourite as you can with the opening of the program see what needs to be done, either in the sense of the daily diary, invoices to be sent, the fees recorded for the month to date (and previous month) to date etc. Literally with the 'click of a button' you have the information you seek on one screen! Since we started using LawPracticeZA, we found that Andrew and his team went out of their way to accommodate us and they made various changes to the program in order to make it even easier to use and to suit our specific needs. The bookkeeping functions are also easy to use, the financial reports are in Excel, which is very helpful and with our auditors' visit the information sought was quick at hand. What mostly impressed us was the after sale service, the training, patiently listening to our needs and actually then doing something about it.

Above and beyond the fantastic system itself the support service is phenomenal!
Alex Davies, Pretorius Davies Attorneys
We cannot recommend LawPracticeZA enough! After trying 2 well known practice management systems in the past and finding both of them to be inefficient or inconvenient with their long and complicated ways of posting a fee or their fussy connection requirements finding LawPracticeZA was so exciting! A fantastic system for a really good price! The system is so simple there is no need to go for training on how to use it. Everything is cloud based so there is no struggle with installing or connecting to servers in the office in order to use it. This is a huge advantage as there is full access anywhere and anytime. The simplicity of the system and the ease of use saves huge amounts of unbillable administrative time and ensures that everything is in order. Generating invoices or statements for clients can be done in a few clicks. We have had positive feedback from our clients who appreciate the ease of the system and nice features like being to open invoices from their statements by clicking on their hyperlinked invoice numbers. It makes both of our lives easier. Above and beyond the fantastic system itself the support service is phenomenal! Andrew and the team personally respond to queries extremely quickly, normally within a few minutes. It is amazing!

Dit is fisies onmoontlik om fooie te verloor aangesien dit jou toelaat om selfs van jou selfoon af rekeninge op te stel wanneer jy in die hof sit en wag vir tyd om verby te gaan
Bernice de Beer, BDB Attorneys
Ons firma het in Februarie 2018 begin om LawPracticeza te gebruik en kon onmiddelik ‘n verhoging in fooie sien. Die stelsel maak dit baie eenvoudig om alle uitstaande fakture van ‘n enkele kliënt op te volg. Fakture word in ‘n fraksie van die tyd opgestel en onmiddelik vanself uitgestuur. State is ook maklik leesbaar en verstaanbaar. Die sisteem maak dit ook maklik om fakture en state oor WhatsApp te stuur aan kliënte wat nie e-pos gebruik nie wat beteken dat alle kliënte op hoogte gehou kan word van hul uistaande rekeninge of om aan kliënte te verreken. Dit stelsel is ook baie eenvoudig om te gebruik. Dit is fisies onmoontlik om fooie te verloor aangesien dit jou toelaat om selfs van jou selfoon af rekeninge op te stel wanneer jy in die hof sit en wag vir tyd om verby te gaan. Andrew is baie behulpsaam en oop vir voorstelle om die sisteem te verbeter na aanleiding van die kliënt se behoeftes. Die feit dat die sisteem “web based” is beteken dat ‘n mens nooit weer data sal verloor nie en dat jy van enige plek en enige tyd kan werk solank jy ‘n internet konneksie het. LawPracticeZA kan met gemoedsrus aan firmas van enige grootte aanbeveel word.

LawPracticeZA's simple interface belies a powerful, complex system with a great deal of automation and controls for maintaining accounting and data integrity.

Each matter has its own page like this where you can capture fees, find contact information, view transaction history, upload attachments and more.

Query any financial account across your business, trust and investment ledgers to see full transaction history along with a visual chart that helps spot anomalies. Every report can be exported to Excel format (.xlsx) in an instant.

  • One of our core values is that we don't take clients hostage. There are no long term contracts and never will be. It is 30 days notice from day 1!
  • We only charge for lawyers (qualified and candidate attorneys). Anyone else in the practice gets the system for free.
  • No server required - if you have one you will never have to spend money on that again.
  • No hosting costs - if you are already hosted you are probably paying a fee (saving for you)
  • Bring your own device - as long as you can get to a browser and have any internet connection you are good to go (once we give you a user name and password of course)
  • Free implementation
  • Free data conversion (as long as the data is in Excel or .csv format we can bring that in) - not to worry most systems are capable of producing this.
  • Free backups

We will happily quote you when we give you a quick demo (from as little as 15 minutes to however long is necessary) of the key points of our solution. You can either book a demo here, or email matthew@lawpracticeza.com, or send a Whatsapp to 082-568-4738 for prompt response.
