Legal & Advisory Firms

A NetSuite ERP tailored for law firms and advisory practices — built around matters, retainers, disbursements and rate cards. We replaced spreadsheets and legacy desktop suites with a single, modern, cloud-native platform.

THE REALITY

Legal & advisory firms run on tools built for another era.

Most practices still juggle desktop accounting suites, shared drives and spreadsheets to run matters, bill retainers and report profitability. The result is invisible margin leakage, slow closes and a tech stack that can't absorb AI or automation.

01

Fragmented matter data

Case files scattered across email, drives and standalone tools — no single source of truth for matters, clients or deadlines.

02

Billing built for the 90s

Retainers, hourly work and pass-through expenses tracked in spreadsheets, leaking revenue every month.

03

Legacy tools, no AI

Sage and A3-era stacks are rigid, closed and impossible to extend — automation and AI workflows simply don't fit.

04

No real profitability view

Partners can't see margin by matter, client or department until the year closes — decisions run on gut feel.

The opportunity: a cloud ERP that treats matters, retainers, disbursements and departmental P&L as first-class objects — not bolt-ons.
