LegalClaw
What it is
LegalClaw is ERPClaw’s legal software vertical for matter management, time billing, trust accounting, and law-firm operations. Its legal feature set lists 69 actions across trust accounting, billing, documents, and reporting. Billing supports retainer, contingency, hourly, and flat-fee arrangements, with billable hours tracked by matter and attorney. Matter documents include version control and retention policies, while reports cover realization, collection, and attorney productivity. The system describes conflict screening against client and party history, along with court-date and statute-of-limitations tracking. Trust tools include individual client subledgers, separation of trust funds, three-way reconciliation, no overdraft tolerance, and an immutable chain-hashed audit trail. Stripe can collect retainers and case payments. LegalClaw is self-hosted on SQLite or PostgreSQL; installation requires Python 3.10 or newer and git. The free Self-Hosted plan includes every module, unlimited users and companies, and GitHub community support.
