# Law firm case management software development > 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. Every matter, hearing, deadline and document in one place, so nothing slips and partners see the whole practice. - **Budget:** USD 25k–60k (INR 20–50 lakh) - **Users:** Partners, associates, clerks, accounts, clients - **Integrations:** Outlook, Google Calendar, e-sign, accounting - **AI:** Summaries, drafting, search across matters ## Case management features | Area | Features | |---|---| | Intake | Client onboarding, KYC documents, conflict-of-interest search, engagement letters | | Matters | Parties, courts, case numbers, practice area templates, stages | | Deadlines | Hearing calendar, limitation dates, reminders to the team and clients | | Documents | Versioned document store, templates, e-sign, email filing | | Work | Tasks, checklists, notes and assignment by matter | | Time and billing | Timers, time entries, expenses, fixed-fee and hourly invoices, trust or retainer balances | | Reporting | Matters by stage, workload per lawyer, billed and collected fees | ## Built for how legal teams work - **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](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/professional-services/client-portal-development) 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. ## Cost | Scope | Budget (USD) | Budget (INR) | |---|---|---| | Matters, deadlines, documents and tasks | 25,000–40,000 | 20–32 lakh | | Add time tracking, billing and client portal | 40,000–60,000 | 32–50 lakh | | Add AI drafting and knowledge search | +15,000–30,000 | +12–25 lakh | These are planning ranges, not quotes. ## 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 ## Frequently asked questions ### Can it track court hearing dates automatically? Where courts publish case status or cause lists online, we can fetch updates and flag changes. Otherwise hearings are entered once and the system handles reminders. ### Can we import matters from spreadsheets or our old system? Yes. We migrate clients, matters, contacts and documents, then check the results with your team before switching over. ### Who can see confidential matters? Access is set per matter. Ethical walls can block selected people from specific matters, and every access is logged. ## Related guides - [Software development for professional services firms](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/professional-services): Infikey Technologies builds software for professional services firms: case and matter management for law firms, practice management for acco... - [Claims management software development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/insurance/claims-management-software): Claims management software runs a claim from first notice of loss (FNOL) to settlement: intake, document and photo capture, assignment to ad... - [Real estate CRM software development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/real-estate/real-estate-crm): A real estate CRM captures leads from portals, ads, websites and walk-ins, assigns them to sales agents, automates WhatsApp and call follow-... - [EHR and EMR software development](https://infikeytechnologies.com/industries/healthcare/ehr-emr-software): EHR and EMR software stores and manages patient clinical records: history, notes, problems, medications, allergies, orders and results.
