Corporate and commercial practices
Firms serving companies on transactions, contracts and regulatory matters, where documents outnumber hearings and the invoice has to satisfy a corporate finance function.
Law firm management software for Saudi practices
Arabic-first records, invoicing that matches what the tax authority expects, and a matter file that holds up when the practice doubles in size.
Saudi legal practice has changed faster in the last few years than in the previous few decades. The judiciary has digitised aggressively, the commercial and enforcement courts have taken on far more of the caseload, and the licensing and regulation of legal practice has tightened. The practical effect on a firm is that more of the work is now transacted through structured digital channels, and a practice still running on paper folders is doing double entry against systems that are already electronic.
The market is also growing rather than consolidating. Firms that were four lawyers are now twelve, driven by corporate, construction, employment and regulatory work tied to large-scale investment. Growth is exactly when informal systems break: the WhatsApp group and the shared drive that worked at four people produce genuine confusion at twelve, and nobody notices until a deadline is missed.
Arabic is the language of the courts, the filings and most client relationships, with English used alongside it for international and corporate counterparties. A system where Arabic is the primary interface — not a translated layer — is the baseline requirement, and it has to search Arabic names and text properly rather than as an afterthought.
Because the growth is recent, most firms are choosing their first real system rather than replacing an old one. That makes the migration question less about extracting data from legacy software and more about getting years of files, spreadsheets and folders into a structure that will still make sense at three times the current size.
Digital courts and case tracking
- The judiciary's digital platforms have moved a large share of filing, notification and case follow-up online, which raises rather than lowers the value of an internal system: the firm still needs its own record of what was filed, by whom, when, and what it means for the client.
- Commercial courts, labour courts, enforcement courts and the general courts each have distinct procedural rhythms. Recording the forum and the applicable deadlines per matter — rather than treating all deadlines as one list — is what makes a mixed caseload legible to a growing team.
- Enforcement matters in particular generate long tails of procedural steps after judgment, and they are the ones most likely to be dropped once the firm's attention has moved on. Keeping them as live matters with assigned owners and scheduled reviews is a straightforward fix.
- Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution have grown substantially alongside the commercial caseload, and arbitral timetables need to sit on the same calendar as court dates so that one team is not working from two sources of truth.
ZATCA e-invoicing, VAT and records
- Saudi Arabia's e-invoicing regime under ZATCA has made structured, machine-readable invoices the norm rather than the exception for businesses, and corporate clients increasingly expect professional services invoices to arrive in a form that fits that workflow. Invoices generated from recorded time and expenses, with VAT applied and full client details, are considerably easier to fit into that process than documents assembled by hand.
- VAT applies to legal services, and the tax treatment needs to be consistent across every invoice the firm issues. Generating invoices from the underlying time and expense records is what keeps that consistency without a monthly reconciliation exercise.
- Billing in SAR is the default, with USD available for international clients — both in the same billing record rather than in parallel spreadsheets that have to be reconciled.
- Record-keeping obligations and the growing formality of the market both point the same way: an auditable trail of who did what and when, which is produced automatically rather than reconstructed after the fact.
Practice types this fits
Construction, projects and disputes
Long-running matters with heavy documentation, many counterparties, and disbursements that accumulate across months — the practice type where unrecorded expenses cost the most.
Employment and enforcement
High-volume matter types with procedural steps that continue long after the substantive decision, where the risk is not losing but forgetting.
Growing firms and in-house teams
Practices moving from four lawyers to twelve, and corporate legal departments that need matters, external counsel spend and contracts on a single auditable record.
Plans start at $49 per month for a solo practice, $149 per month for Professional — which adds the AI assistant, analytics and up to five team members — and $399 per month for Enterprise with unlimited seats and custom integrations. All plans start with a 14-day free trial and no credit card.
Pricing →Frequently asked questions
Is the interface available in Arabic?
Yes. Arabic is a first-class interface language with full right-to-left layout, not a translated overlay. Case records, notes, documents and client details can be written and searched in Arabic, and the client portal and mobile apps run in Arabic too.
Can it produce invoices that fit our e-invoicing process?
Invoices are generated from recorded time and expenses with structured line items, VAT treatment and full client details, in SAR or USD. That gives your finance function a consistent, machine-readable source document rather than a hand-assembled one, which is what a ZATCA-compliant workflow depends on.
Does it handle different court types?
Yes. Each matter records its own forum, reference numbers and procedural deadlines, so commercial, labour, enforcement and general court matters can sit in the same caseload without their different timetables being flattened into one list.
We are growing quickly. Does it scale?
The Professional plan covers up to five team members and 500 clients; Enterprise is unlimited on both. Roles and permissions mean that as the team grows, access stays controlled — a new associate sees the matters assigned to them, not the whole firm.
Can we import years of existing files?
Yes. Migration tooling plus hands-on help from our team is included at no charge. For firms adopting their first real system, the bulk of the work is agreeing the structure — how matters, clients and documents should be organised going forward — and we work through that with you during the trial.
How is client confidentiality protected?
Each firm's data is fully isolated from every other firm on the platform, access within the firm is controlled by role, every action is written to an audit trail, and data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Two-factor authentication is available for all users.
Markets
Egypt
Built around how Egyptian offices actually work: sessions that adjourn, files that live in three places at once, and clients who call to ask what happened at the hearing.
the UAE
One system for a practice that runs in two languages, across two legal traditions, for clients who expect to see their matter status without asking for it.
