Existing software does not cover your workflow
You handle a particular type of matter through your own stages and rules. Spreadsheets, extra forms and instructions passed between colleagues fill the gaps.
Custom software development for law firms
Software built around the way your law firm works.
We design and build applications for managing matters, serving clients and working with documents. Functions reflect your firm's procedures, data and user roles. We take the project from initial screens through launch and further development.
An initial conversation without obligation. Scope and cost agreed before work begins.
Your firm
When does a custom application make sense?
You want to offer clients your own service
Clients need a place to submit a matter, provide documents or check progress. You need an application designed around how that service works.
A spreadsheet has become the team's main tool
Several people update a register of matters, deadlines or billing. It becomes harder to establish the current position, restrict access and trace changes.

For ecommerce.legal, we built a portal where clients generate legal documentation from a questionnaire. The case study describes how custom software supports the delivery of legal services.

Application data should reflect how your firm works.
We design relationships between clients, matters, documents and tasks. Users can see information alongside its meaning for a particular matter.
The matter as a reference point
Documents, deadlines and decisions belong to the right matter. Users can move from an individual entry to related material.
Versions and change history
We establish how document versions, approvals and data changes are recorded. The team can check where information came from and when it changed.
Views that fit each role
Lawyers, firm managers and clients need different information. We design views and permissions around their tasks.
Service scope
What we can build for your firm.
We select functions for a defined task. An application can serve one workflow or become a system you develop as your firm grows.
Matter management
Stages, tasks, deadlines and documents linked to each matter. We design views for lawyers and the people managing their work, including teams handling large numbers of similar matters.
Client portals
Enquiry intake, file submission and access to progress updates. Clients see material shared with them while your team manages it through a separate staff view.
Document generators
Forms and rules that populate your firm's templates with matter data. We account for document variants, required fields, template versions and review before use.
Knowledge libraries and registers
Find templates, previous analyses and decisions by matter, topic or document type. We also build registers and reports with views designed for your team's needs.
How we work
From an initial need to an application your team uses.
Define the first version
We review the workflow and its users, then prepare a scope and screens to discuss how the application will work. Budget and acceptance criteria are agreed before development.
Build and review progress
We develop functions and make them available for review. Team feedback is assessed against the agreed scope, with additional needs quoted before implementation.
Launch and hand over
We prepare the environment, agreed data import and training. Documentation and access are handed over, with arrangements for application maintenance after launch.
Scope, acceptance and handover
- Agreed functions, user roles and acceptance scenarios
- A working application, test results and user guidance
- Repository, documentation and access handed over under the contract
How we test the workflow
We test complete user tasks: creating a matter, editing data, preparing a document and sharing it. Checks also cover incomplete forms, denied access and change history. Acceptance follows scenarios agreed before development.
The scope can cover a standalone application or a new module. We agree how it will work, responsibility for its content and the terms for further development before work begins.
Budget and billing
Define the first version, then agree its budget.
The quote reflects the functions and how people will use them. We identify what belongs in the first stage and what can wait. Each scope extension requires a separate decision and quote before work begins.
Built around legal work
Matter confidentiality built into the application design.
We design access to specific matters, documents and actions. Client views are separate from the firm's internal work, with agreed records of changes. Before launch, we establish the environment, backups and support access. Tests include attempts to access another user's restricted matters.
Maintenance and development
Your application can grow with your firm.
After launch, user feedback informs further changes. Maintenance and development have an agreed scope and budget.
- Updates, monitoring and support within the agreed scope
- Reviews of application behaviour and user needs
- Further modules with separate quotes and acceptance criteria
FAQ
Before we get started
Do you build custom applications or sell an existing product?
This service covers designing and building software for an individual firm. If an existing product meets the need, we discuss that option before proposing development. A custom application makes sense when your workflow or service needs its own functions.
Do we need a specification?
Start with how your team works, the problem and the outcome you want. We help define functions and the first version. If that requires a wider discovery phase, its cost and deliverables are agreed first.
How long does development take?
We prepare a schedule after agreeing the first version. It accounts for data preparation, decisions and user testing. Further modules can follow once the initial scope is in use.
Will we receive the code and be able to change developers?
The contract covers code rights, repository access, documentation and handover. We also identify dependencies on libraries, licences and external services so you know what further development requires.
Can the application work with our existing system?
Yes, where the existing system provides the necessary interfaces. We identify that connection explicitly in the project scope. If you only need data exchange between existing products, our separate system integration service covers that work.
What happens after launch?
We can maintain and develop the application under a separate agreement. We define support, updates, monitoring and a plan for further functions. Application maintenance has a separate scope from the firm's day-to-day IT helpdesk.
Contact
Start with a conversation
Describe what the application should do, who will use it and how those tasks are handled today. You do not need a finished specification. Start with an explanation without client records.
Working hours
Monday – Friday, 9:00 – 18:00 (CET)
Working across jurisdictions
We support clients in cross-border projects, in Polish and in English.
