Software for litigation firms: the deadlines counted correctly, the file ready for court, the time billed.

Litigation is deadlines and preparation. SolicitorOS counts clear days the way CPR 2.8 does, keeps every matter's limitation date on a firm-wide register, builds a checklist for each hearing, sends the court list to the firm every Monday, and turns the hours in court into billable time on the matter.

What a file looks like in SolicitorOS.

Every step below is a screen in the product today, not a roadmap.

Claim form served

Work out the acknowledgment of service and defence dates under CPR 10.3 and 15.4, see the working, and add both to the diary and the matter in one click each.

Preparation

The hearing checklist lists the file, the skeleton argument, bundles, counsel, the client and transport. Reminders go out the day before. Documents live on the matter, permission-checked.

Court

The outcome is recorded on the checklist with the next steps, and the hours in court post to the matter as billable time.

Limitation

The register shows every open matter by limitation date, soonest first, and flags the files with no date at all, amber at 90 days and red at 30.

Month-end

Unbilled work becomes bills in one step, with disbursements recovered and counsel's fees shown separately.

The parts of SolicitorOS litigation use most.

Questions litigation ask.

How does the deadline calculator treat bank holidays?

It uses the England and Wales bank-holiday calendar, including Easter and the substitute days, and counts clear days under CPR 2.8, leaving out weekends and bank holidays where the period is five days or less.

Can the whole firm see limitation risk?

Yes. The register is firm-wide and lists the matters with no limitation date recorded, which is where the real risk hides.

Does it work for tribunal and criminal matters?

Yes. Each has its own rules and its own periods; the calculator counts clear days or calendar days, or months, as the rule in question requires.

Can counsel see the file?

Documents on the matter can be shared with counsel by secure link, and counsel's fees are recorded as disbursements against the matter.

Which plan do litigation firms need?

The diary, the deadline calculator and the limitation register are in every plan, including Solo Solicitor.
