Software for small law firm owners
A consultation, a document review and a longer engagement create different business arrangements. Microtra keeps contacts, accepted service scope, time and invoices together. Use specialist legal systems for court work, trust accounting, confidential files and professional obligations.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
A fixed service and additional work should be distinguishable. Record the agreed business scope without putting privileged detail into ordinary invoice descriptions or expanding the engagement through an unexplained line item.
Meetings, preparation and follow-up can be spread across the day. Record approved billable work while it is identifiable and review the descriptions before sharing them outside the firm.
Court deadlines, conflict checks, client-money controls and protected case documents need appropriate specialist processes. A familiar record label does not establish those capabilities.

Law & professional services starts with Case and Client. Microtra does not provide court filing, legal deadline calculations, conflict checking or specialist document management simply because the work record has that label.
Microtra does not provide specialist trust accounting or client-money compliance controls. Use suitable legal accounting systems and qualified professional guidance for those responsibilities.
Finer role-based access is coming soon. Business members can read and write business records, so assess suitability before entering confidential information and retain protected legal files in an appropriate system.
It does not make legal contracts. Use the firm's professionally reviewed engagement documents; estimates and invoices serve as business records for the accepted work.
