Why legal teams choose PaperTrail

Running a legal practice means juggling dozens of active cases, each with their own deadlines, documents, and client communications. Spreadsheets and shared drives weren't built for this level of complexity.

PaperTrail gives solicitors a single place to manage every case from intake to close. All correspondence, documents, notes, and deadlines are linked to the right case and accessible from any device.

Everything a modern legal practice needs

From intake to close, PaperTrail handles the workflow so your team can focus on delivering results for clients.

Client intake forms

Send branded intake forms to new clients and have the data automatically populate your case file. No re-keying, no errors. Collect ID documents, signed engagement letters, and conflict checks in one step.

Automated chasers

Set rules for when clients haven't responded and let PaperTrail send polite reminders on your behalf - by email or SMS. Customise the tone and frequency, and escalate automatically if there's still no response.

Document templates

Generate letters of engagement, standard correspondence, and legal documents from your case data with a single click. Maintain a library of firm-wide templates that stay consistent and up to date.

Deadline tracking

Never miss a court date or filing deadline. Set reminders per case and get notified across email, SMS, and your dashboard. View all upcoming deadlines across the firm in one calendar view.

Time recording

Track billable time against each case with built-in timers. Export timesheets for invoicing or sync with your accounts package. See utilisation rates across your team at a glance.

Secure file storage

All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access ensures sensitive files are only seen by the right people. Hosted securely to comply with data residency requirements.

Common challenges PaperTrail solves

Missed deadlines and court dates

PaperTrail centralises every deadline across every case and sends automated reminders to the responsible fee earner, so nothing slips through the cracks.

Client communication falling behind

Automated chasers and status notifications keep clients informed without adding to your to-do list. Clients stay updated, and you stay focused.

Document version confusion

PaperTrail's document management ensures your team always works from the latest version, with a full history of every change for complete traceability.

Difficulty demonstrating compliance

PaperTrail's automatic audit trail captures every action, communication, and document - making compliance audits straightforward rather than stressful.
