How to run a fair evaluation

  1. Write down the three problems you most need to solve, such as missed deadlines, slow billing or scattered evidence.

  2. Shortlist two or three platforms, including the one you are considering leaving.

  3. Ask each vendor for a demo using a matter that resembles your real work.

  4. Price each option with the users and add-ons you actually need.

  5. Ask how your data is exported if you leave, and how migration works if you join.

  6. Involve the people who will use it daily, including paralegals and billing staff.

Questions to ask every vendor

Data export

Can you export matters, contacts, documents and billing records in standard formats?

Billing and trust

Are time tracking, invoicing and trust accounting built in or provided through integrations?

Support

What training and support are included?

Matching the tool to the firm

Larger litigation practices with dedicated operations staff may value deep configurability. Smaller firms often prefer a system that works with minimal setup. Decide which describes your firm before you compare features, and weigh setup time and training as part of the total cost.
