Forward focused software for lawyers
Running a law firm means balancing client care, compliance, and constant admin — often all at once. But there’s a smarter way with our suite of legal software solutions.
Simplify the chaos with our legal technology that brings everything you need to run your firm into one intuitive platform. Less admin. More impact. Real results:
- Boost productivity:
Curtis Law increased output by over 50% after switching to Access Legal.
- Simplify admin:
Pinkney Grunwells cut billing time from 6 working days to just 1.
- Enhance client service:
Firms using our onboarding app report up to an 80% reduction in time spent on client calls.
- Stay compliant with confidence:
Built-in SRA compliance tools keep firms audit-ready, always.
We don’t just sell software. We partner with law firms to help them work smarter, serve better, and live easier.
Hear what our customers have to say
The support we’ve received has been fantastic. The Access team understands our needs and challenges and always delivers solutions that work for us.
By having one platform to perform everything is a game changer- helping to improve efficiency, productivity and spend more time on what’s important. From one place colleagues can carry out day-to-day tasks, better manage cases and clients, monitor compliance, complete e-learning courses right through to managing their own performance using the Access HR software.
Overall, we are thrilled with our Access Legal case management solution and the complete service offering from Access Legal.
When we saw the integration with the Access Legal Case Management System and the IT Support, it was a no-brainer.
Access Legal really underpins the entire operation. Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to even sustain the level of business that we were achieving, let alone grow it.
We decided to invest in something that would make this simple, save us time and reduce spend on IT resources and Access Legal Hosting has achieved this.
Access Legal software forms the core of what we’re going to be doing going forward and we’re really happy with the way it works and the potential it offers.
With the cloud-hosted service and Access Legal support taking over more of the infrastructure side of our IT, I believe it will save approximately four hours’ worth of IT resource a week for me which I can then use to focus on strategic development projects.
Reclaim your day with AI-powered case management software
In legal practice, every minute counts, but too many are lost to admin, delays, and distractions. Our AI-powered legal software that changes that.
From summarising complex reports in seconds to flagging urgent client concerns before they escalate, our legal software cuts through the noise. Less time on non-billable tasks. More time to be present, responsive, and in control — every single day.
That’s the freedom to do more.

What is legal software for law firms?
In the context of law firm technology, legal software is a suite of software that a Practice of law would use to run and grow its business. There are several software options for a legal firm of solicitors. Some may go for a fully integrated legal practice management system that has been specifically designed for law firms and includes SRA-compliant legal accounts, case management, time recording, reporting and a whole lot more with integrations to mainstream tools such as the Microsoft Office suite. Others may bolt-together separate software packages, i.e. mixing perhaps generic accounts packages such as Xero or Sage with law-firm specific case management software.
