  • Runs in the browser

From the official README: this app is in early alpha. Features may change and data could be lost — don’t rely on it for real work yet, and keep copies of anything important.

What is Legal?

Legal organises a law practice around matters — each with its client, lawyers, stage, deadlines, documents, notes, bills and trust transactions. Run conflict checks, track time with a timer that survives reloads, generate draft bills in bulk and keep trust balances that can never go below zero.

Key features

  • Numbered matters with tabs for everything related
  • Conflict checks across every contact and party
  • Timer and time entries rounded to billing increments
  • Bills from draft to issued, with client statements
  • Trust accounting with ledger-based balances

How to use it

  1. Open legal.puter.com in any modern browser — computer, tablet or phone.
