What software do small law firms use?

Small firms typically use a few different types of software to run their firms. Your chosen legal software suite is the central and most important piece of the tech stack, but lawyers also use accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online or Xero, document software such as Microsoft Word, and an email provider such as Microsoft Outlook or Gmail. Small firm practitioners may also use tools like virtual receptionists or virtual assistants to help manage administrative work.

For small law firms, it’s best if all your tools integrate and share case and contact information, to reduce workload and risk of error. The Clio App Directory has many integrations to explore, so you can find out how it will integrate with the tools you are currently using.

How do I choose small law firm software?

The needs of small law firms differ from that of larger law firms, and your law firm software should be designed with this in mind. Selecting the best law practice management software for your firm is simple once you consider your specific needs.

Because small firms have limited time for chasing payments, choosing small law firm management software with a powerful time and expense tracking feature is important. Small law firms may also prioritise automating other administrative duties to make more time for billable tasks. Thankfully, Clio’s software is also scalable, growing with you as your needs and your business expand.
