Court days counted the way the Uniform Rules count them, with every public holiday and the December recess. Trust kept the way the LPC Rules require. Transfer duty on the SARS table in force on the date of acquisition, not this year’s.
One workspace for the matters, the money and the deadlines, built for the law you practise.
Free for 7 days, no card. Then your plan price, and you can cancel any time.

It works out the rest
| Notice of intention to defend dueUniform Rule 19(1) | 17 Nov |
| Default judgment may be applied for if no notice to defendUniform Rule 31(5)(a) | 18 Nov |
| Plea due if the notice to defend arrives on its last dayUniform Rule 22(1) | 15 Dec |
Court days only: weekends and public holidays skipped, and 16 December to 15 January not counted for pleadings. Each date carries the rule it came from, and goes to the diary.
Plans differ only by how many people sign in.
Never per seat, never a setup fee, no sales call.
Section 86(2) and 86(4) accounts, reconciled, with the audit pack.
Trust
The ledger refuses to put any client’s trust account into debit, on every path that writes to it. If an old debit turns up, from an import or a migrated ledger, the written report to the Council is raised the day it is seen, with the reason and the proof of rectification.
LPC Rule 54.14.9, 54.14.11
FICA
Every client is screened against the sanctions lists when they are taken on, and again when money comes into trust if the lists have changed since. The lists are fetched twice a day, and when they change the whole client base is screened again.
PCC 44A, para 28
Conveyancing
Transfer duty is worked out on the SARS table in force on the date of acquisition, not today’s, which is how a quote goes wrong.
Transfer Duty Act 40 of 1949, s 2
Calculators anyone may use, on the same engines the workspace runs on.
Nothing to assemble. Open a file and the diary, the time, the trust ledger and the fee note are already in it.
The file
Client, conflict check, court dates with their own checklists, documents, notes and emails, and what the file has earned so far.
The trust ledger
A three-way reconciliation, interest split under section 86(4), and a statement that sends itself. The audit pack is one button.
The fee note
A timer that pauses, fee codes with fixed amounts, bills of costs for taxation, and a client portal where the account is paid online.
Not a general tool with a South African skin. Each of these is part of the same workspace, on the same clients, matters and books.

Your name, your firm’s name, an email. No card, no call. It opens with a demo matter so the product is the demo.
Open it, diarise the deadline, capture the time, raise the fee note, move the money through the trust ledger. One matter is enough to know.
Pay the plan price when you are ready. If it did not earn the switch, your data exports back out from Settings, and nothing is deleted for 90 days.
Bring clients and matters across by CSV, documents by the folder, up to 250 MB at a time. The migration guide walks through it, and the Firm plan includes migration support.
AttorneyOS is legal practice management software built in South Africa for South African law firms: matters, clients, trust accounting, billing, the court diary, documents and AI-assisted drafting in one secure workspace, at one flat monthly price for the whole firm.
Yes. It ships with a court-day (dies) calculator on the SA public-holiday calendar, a prescription register, Legal Practice Act trust recordkeeping with a section 86 interest schedule, VAT-aware billing in rand and a VAT201 pack.
Plans start at R999 a month for a solo attorney and are one flat price per firm, never per seat. Every plan begins free for 7 days with no card, then the plan price; you can cancel any time.
No. Every plan has every feature, so nothing is switched off for a practice area, and the duties the software is built around — trust records, FICA, VAT fee notes, prescription dates, POPIA retention and the Fidelity Fund certificate — are the same in every practice. The pages under 'Who it is for' describe the same workspace from a particular desk.
No. The workspace opens immediately after signup with a demo matter, so the trial is the demo. Pricing is public on this site.
Yes. Export clients and matters to CSV, import them with the built-in importer, capture open balances as opening entries and run in parallel for a month. Your data exports back out at any time.
Every firm runs in its own isolated workspace enforced at the database layer, with role-based permissions, permission-checked document downloads and audit logs, designed with POPIA in mind.
