Case Management Software for Sole Practitioners
- Details
- Written by: Legal Workspace
Legal Workspace is affordable, all-in-one case management software for UK sole practitioners, with every feature for £50 a month and free setup and training. Matters, time recording, billing, client accounts, document templates and unlimited e-signatures are all part of onePlan, and it runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install.
As a sole practitioner, you are the fee earner, the supervisor, the cashier and the IT department, often all before lunch. You need software that saves time rather than creating more admin, keeps your client money records straight, and costs a sensible amount for a one-person practice. That is what Legal Workspace is designed to do.

What sole practitioners need from case management software
Every minute of admin is a minute you can't bill
When you do everything yourself, time spent on paperwork, chasing signatures and typing the same details into letters comes straight out of your fee-earning day.
With Legal Workspace, document templates fill in client and matter details for you, unlimited e-signatures replace printing and posting, and you can record time in 6-minute units straight from emails, calls and documents as you work.
Client money has to be right, every time
There is no accounts team to catch mistakes. Your client account records need to be accurate and easy to check.
With Legal Workspace, client ledgers and trust accounting sit alongside your matters, with invoices, credit notes, disbursements, WIP and aged debt reports in the same system.
You need software that works wherever you are
Sole practitioners often work from home, travel to court or see clients out of the office.
With Legal Workspace, everything runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to install or maintain, and your matters are with you wherever you sign in.
Costs have to make sense for a one-person practice
Many systems are priced for bigger firms, with entry plans that leave out features you need and upgrades that cost more.
With Legal Workspace, onePlan is £50 per month for one user, with every feature included, so you never pay more to unlock the essentials.
There is no one down the corridor to ask
When something isn't working, you can't wait days for an answer.
With Legal Workspace, every customer gets live chat, phone and email support, and free online training to get you started.

What it costs a sole practitioner
For one user, Legal Workspace costs £50 a month, or £600 a year, with every feature included. There is no setup fee, and training is free. If you take on a trainee, assistant or second fee earner later, each additional user is the same £50 a month, with the same features.
Built around your practice areas
Legal Workspace covers 22 practice areas and more than 380 matter types. An immigration matter records the details an immigration solicitor needs, a criminal matter records police station attendance, bail, charges and hearings; and family, civil litigation, personal injury, employment, commercial property and probate each have their own case fields too. So whether you specialise in one area or cover several, your matters are set up properly from day one.
