Short answer
Law firm case management software organises a firm’s matters: client intake and conflict checks, case details, hearing and limitation deadlines, documents, tasks, time entries, expenses and billing. Infikey builds custom case management systems for litigation and corporate practices, integrated with email, calendars and accounting. Typical builds cost USD 25,000–60,000 depending on practice areas and integrations.

- Court-specific details: cause list tracking and case status from court portals where available, such as eCourts in India.
- Matter-level permissions so only the assigned team sees sensitive matters, with an audit log of access.
- Client updates through a secure client portal rather than long email threads.
- AI assistance for summarising judgments, drafting first versions and finding precedents in your own documents, always reviewed by a lawyer.

Project blueprint
Case management for a litigation practice
Based on the requirements we hear most often from buyers like this.
A litigation firm with several partners tracks hearings in a shared diary and spreadsheets. Associates learn about next dates from clerks, documents are scattered across email and personal drives, and partners cannot see workload across the team.
What we would build
- Matter records with parties, courts, case numbers and stages
- Hearing calendar with reminders to the team and clients
- Document store with versions, templates and email filing
- Time entries and invoices linked to matters
- Partner dashboard of matters by stage, upcoming hearings and workload
How success is measured
- Missed or late-noted hearing dates (target: zero)
- Time spent finding documents
- Billable time captured against time worked
- Fees billed and collected per matter
