Path forward
Here is what happens if you say yes. How the system gets set up, how your existing work moves across, and what it costs.
A note on what you're seeing
What you are seeing here is an illustration — a preview of the kind of system I want to build. It is not the final design.
The real architecture and screens get designed only after I sit down with you to understand how your firm actually works.
How this gets set up
- 01
No installation, no IT. The system runs in your browser. Nothing to install on any computer. Nothing to maintain on your end. No expensive IT contractor required.
- 02
I set it up personally. I configure every user account, every role permission, every email inbox connection. The firm sees a working system on day one, not a half-built one.
- 03
I migrate your existing cases myself. From your Excel sheet, your paper folders, and your shared inboxes — I do this work. Your team doesn't lift a finger during migration. Each active case enters the system with its client details, deadlines, payment status, and any email history you can share.
- 04
Existing templates carry across. Your cover letters, legal representations, and retainer agreements come in as-is, then get tidied up together over the first few weeks.
- 05
One person trials it first. A single team member uses the system in parallel with the current workflow for the first 2–3 weeks. If it doesn't help, the project quietly stops. No firm-wide disruption.
- 06
Paper stays in parallel until you're ready. Nothing is taken away from anyone. Anyone who prefers the current system continues with it. Adoption is opt-in throughout.

Context on this pricing
Established practice management software in the UK (Clio, LEAP, Actionstep) charges between £200 and £600 per user per month. For a firm of seven, that's £1,400 to £4,200 per month — £16,800 to £50,400 per year. This proposal is a fraction of that, with a system tailored exactly to how your firm works.
What's changing in legal work
Modern legal practice management tools — software that routes emails to the right case, surfaces deadlines across the firm in one view, lets clients see their own status from a phone — are quickly becoming the baseline expectation in UK immigration work. Firms that adopt early answer client queries faster, handle more cases per caseworker, and free their partners from being the bottleneck. For a firm your size, that typically works out at around two hours per person per day given back to actual legal work.
A system like this also gives the partners something the current setup cannot: visibility from anywhere. Open the dashboard from a phone. See every active case, every outstanding payment, every deadline in one place. The firm runs whether you are in the building or not. That kind of peace of mind is the quiet benefit of doing this now rather than waiting.
Why I'm doing this
I have already designed and delivered practice-management systems in the logistics industry. Legal practice is the next industry I want to bring this work into — the fundamentals translate directly.
If it works for Harris Ali, there is room for something bigger. I would like to build this with you, not just for you — and to take it to other solicitor firms together, as a venture we own jointly.
