Custom Legal Practice Management
Project Overview
We developed a modern, end-to-end legal case management system tailored for law firms and solo practitioners seeking greater operational efficiency, transparency, and client satisfaction. The platform offers a robust suite of tools that covers the full legal workflow — from client intake to case resolution — all in one secure, cloud-based environment. Built with a scalable backend in Python (Django) and a modern React.js frontend, the solution supports seamless document management, calendar and deadline tracking, client communication, and legal billing and payments, ensuring that firms of any size can operate with the speed and clarity demanded in today’s legal landscape. Key Features: Case & Document Management: Store, organize, and retrieve case files with full version control. Client Portal: Secure 2-way messaging, file sharing, and status updates for clients. Billing & Time Tracking: Accurate hourly tracking, invoicing, and expense reporting — integrated with Stripe and LawPay. Calendar Sync: Court deadlines, case milestones, and personal events — all synced with Google and Outlook. Task Automation: Custom workflows and reminders to reduce manual workload. Mobile Access: Fully responsive interface for managing work on the go. Reporting & Analytics: Case progress, time billed, and firm health — all visualized in real time. Bank-grade Security: SOC 2 and GDPR-compliant architecture with full audit trails and role-based access. Whether you're a small practice or a growing law firm, the platform adapts to your processes, enabling lawyers to focus on what matters most — winning cases and serving clients.

Challenge
- Replace a patchwork of tools (intake, documents, deadlines, billing, messaging) with a single, secure, cloud platform covering the full legal workflow from client intake to case resolution.
- Provide a client portal for secure two-way messaging, file sharing, and case status updates to improve transparency without extra staff effort.
- Ensure deadline and calendar reliability with Google/Outlook sync, plus SOC 2/GDPR-grade controls and auditability across roles.
- Support mobile access and real-time reporting so attorneys and admins can act on current case, time, and billing data.
Our Solution
- Architecture & Stack: Python (Django) backend with a React.js frontend, deployed on AWS for scalable, cloud-based delivery.
- Core modules:
- Case & Document Management with version control and quick retrieval.
- Client Portal for secure 2-way messaging, file exchange, and live status.
- Billing & Time Tracking with invoicing/expenses, integrated with Stripe and LawPay.
- Calendar Sync for court deadlines, milestones, and personal events via Google and Outlook.

Results
- A unified, end-to-end practice platform that centralizes intake, case work, client communications, deadlines, and billing in one cloud system.
- Higher transparency & client satisfaction via the secure portal (messaging, file sharing, status) with fewer ad-hoc updates.
- Operational efficiency: automated workflows, accurate time capture, and integrated payments reduce admin overhead and speed invoicing.
- Compliance ready: audit trails, RBAC, and SOC 2/GDPR-aligned controls strengthen governance and data protection.
