## Software we build for firms

- **[Law firm case management software](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/professional-services/law-firm-case-management-software)**: matters, hearings, deadlines, documents, time entries and billing.

- **Practice management for CA and accounting firms**: client compliance calendars (GST, TDS, VAT, corporate filings), task assignment and fee tracking.
- **Document automation**: templates that turn questionnaires into engagement letters, contracts and reports.
- **Knowledge assistants**: AI search over precedents, opinions and internal guidance, with sources cited. See [RAG AI assistant costs](https://infikeytechnologies.com/tools/rag-ai-assistant-cost-calculator).

## Confidentiality and professional rules

| Market | Considerations | What the software supports |
|---|---|---|
| India | DPDP Act 2023, Bar Council rules on advocate conduct, ICAI guidance on confidentiality | Consent records, access control, data retention |
| UAE | UAE PDPL, DIFC and ADGM data protection laws for firms in those free zones | Regional hosting, data rights handling |
| UK | UK GDPR, SRA and ICAEW standards, anti-money laundering client due diligence | Audit trails, client ID checks, conflict searches |
| US | State bar rules on client confidentiality, state privacy laws | Encryption, matter-level permissions, secure sharing |

Your compliance partner or professional body confirms what applies to your firm. We are a software company, not a law firm.

## Cost

| Product | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Client portal for an existing firm | 15,000–35,000 | 12–28 lakh |
| Case or practice management system | 25,000–60,000 | 20–50 lakh |
| Document automation and AI knowledge assistant | 15,000–40,000 | 12–32 lakh |
| Full firm platform (matters, portal, billing, AI) | 50,000–80,000+ | 40–65 lakh+ |

## Where firms gain the most

- **Fewer missed deadlines** with automatic compliance and hearing calendars.
- **Less email chasing**: clients upload documents to a portal with checklists and reminders.
- **Faster drafting** from templates and AI-assisted first drafts reviewed by professionals.
- **Accurate billing** because time is captured where work happens.
- **Partner visibility** of workload, realisation and outstanding fees.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is AI safe to use with confidential client documents?

It can be, with the right setup: enterprise AI APIs that do not train on your data, or self-hosted models, access controls matching matter permissions, and logs of every query. Professionals stay responsible for the final work.

### Can it work with Microsoft 365 and Outlook?

Yes. We integrate email filing, calendars, SharePoint or OneDrive documents and Teams notifications through Microsoft Graph.

### Why not buy an off-the-shelf practice management tool?

Buy one if it fits. Firms choose custom software when their practice areas, workflows or client experience differ from what products offer, or when per-user subscription costs add up across many staff.
