Practice management software for law firms that run on matters

The matter file is sacred, and right now it is scattered — drafts in email, dates in a diary, documents on WhatsApp. HireMaze keeps each matter, its deadlines and the client's documents in one place, under your practice's name.

Why it fits

The matter file, in one place

Advocate reviewing matter files, filings and case matters on screen in a law chamber

A chamber or small firm keeps track of a matter across a diary, a shared drive, an associate's inbox and the client's WhatsApp. When a date moves or an associate is on leave, someone has to reassemble the file before they can act on it.

In HireMaze each matter is a project on a board, filings and hearing dates are tasks with owners and due dates, and the client's agreements, statements and annexures sit on the client's record — collected through a portal with your practice's name on it.

The board

How a matter runs in HireMaze

Start from the Legal Matter template — these are its columns. Rename or add columns to match how your practice works, per matter.

  1. 01

    Intake

    The brief, the client and the conflict check.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    Facts, documents and the client's papers coming in.

  3. 03

    Drafting

    Pleadings, notices, agreements and annexures.

  4. 04

    Filing

    Filed, with the next date as a task with an owner.

  5. 05

    Closed

    Disposed or settled, with the file intact on the record.

What your practice gets

Matters as projects

Every matter is a board with its tasks, owners and due dates, so who is doing what on a file is visible without a meeting.

Dates that belong to someone

Each filing, hearing and limitation date is a task with an owner and a due date — not a line in one person's diary.

Client documents through a portal

Request agreements, statements or powers of attorney. The client uploads them in their portal, HireMaze reminds them after three days, and you accept or send a file back with a reason.

One record per client

Contacts, internal notes, an activity timeline and every document on file, in one place your juniors can find.

Associate and clerk attendance

Check-in from a phone — from the office or the court, if you allow remote check-in — with leave balances, holidays and a month view.

The client portal

What your client sees

They sign in from your page at hiremaze.in/your-firm and land in a portal with your firm's name on it — and nothing that belongs to anyone else. How the client portal works

Their portal shows

  • The documents you've asked them for, and where each one stands
  • A place to upload them — and anything else they want to send you
  • Your reason, if you send a document back
  • Updates you broadcast to your clients

It never shows

  • Your boards, projects or tickets
  • Your other clients
  • Your team's attendance
  • Your internal notes
One straight answer

HireMaze doesn't pull cause lists, e-file with courts or raise fee notes. You add hearing dates yourself, and your billing stays where it is; HireMaze keeps the matter, the deadlines and the client's documents together.

Questions

HireMaze for law firms: common questions

Can each client see only their own documents?

Yes. A client sees only their own portal: the documents you have requested from them, their uploads and the updates you broadcast. Matter boards and internal notes stay inside the firm.

How do we keep track of hearing dates?

Add each hearing or filing date as a task with an owner and a due date on the matter's board, so it is visible to everyone working the file and it doesn't depend on one diary.

Does HireMaze handle legal billing?

No. HireMaze doesn't raise invoices or fee notes; keep your billing as it is and use HireMaze for matters, deadlines, documents and the team.

How much does HireMaze cost?

HireMaze is free while we onboard our first firms, with no card required. When billing starts it will be priced per team member in rupees, and every onboarded firm will be told before anything changes.
