The challenge

Why legal practice admin is harder than it needs to be.

Deadline risk

Court dates, filing deadlines and limitation periods sit in individual diaries or shared spreadsheets. A single miss can end a case and expose the firm to a professional negligence claim.

Documents in the wrong place

Contracts, pleadings, correspondence and evidence land via email, WhatsApp and hand-delivery. Without a structured filing system, the right document at the right moment becomes a search exercise.

Billing that does not reflect effort

Hourly work that is not logged does not get billed. Fixed-fee matters that grow in scope still get billed at the original price. Leakage is systematic and largely invisible.

Client communication spread across channels

Clients send messages via WhatsApp, email and phone. Without a central log, the full history of a client's instructions is fragmented across devices and inboxes.

How FinnDesk helps

FinnDesk brings matter management under control.

One place for every matter, every deadline, every document and every invoice.

Matter deadline tracking

Create task lists for each matter with court dates, filing deadlines and internal milestones. FinnDesk sends reminders to the responsible fee earner well in advance — and escalates if nothing has been actioned.

Tasks & Compliance Scheduling

Document management by matter

Every document — contracts, pleadings, correspondence, evidence — is stored against its matter with version history. Find anything in seconds by matter, document type or date.

Files & Folders

Flexible billing

Bill by the hour, by fixed fee or by milestone. Time entries log automatically from task completion. Draft invoices are generated at the click of a button, ready for partner review before sending.

Invoice & Billing

Unified client communication log

WhatsApp and email messages are captured against the right client and matter automatically. Every instruction, update and response is searchable and audit-ready.

Talk to us

Is client data secure in FinnDesk?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Each client's records are accessible only to the team members assigned to that matter. Role-based permissions mean junior staff see only what they need to see.

Can we set recurring reminders for limitation periods and annual compliance?

Yes. Recurring tasks can be set for any time-based compliance obligation. FinnDesk will generate the reminder task automatically and assign it to the responsible fee earner.

Does FinnDesk support multiple practice areas in the same firm?

Yes. You can tag matters by practice area, create practice-specific task templates and report on workload and billing by practice group.

How does the billing module handle disbursements and expenses?

Disbursements and expenses can be logged against matters and included on the client invoice as separate line items alongside professional fees.

Can clients access their matter status or documents?

Clients receive updates via email and WhatsApp. A self-service client portal is on the product roadmap. Currently, document sharing happens via secure links sent directly to the client.
