What law firm management software does
Law firm management software is one shared system holding the things a firm currently keeps in several places: the case register, the hearing diary, the folder of filings, the client contact list, and the notebook of who has paid. Instead of each living on its own, they hang off the matter they belong to.
The practical difference is that any authorised member of the firm can answer a question about a case without finding the colleague who happens to know. That matters most on the two days a year when that colleague is unreachable and a hearing is tomorrow.
- Matters — parties, court, court level, stage, assigned advocate, full activity history
- Hearing diary — dates in Bikram Sambat and AD, with reminders before each one
- Documents — filings and evidence attached to the case, not to a folder path
- Clients and enquiries — tracked from the first phone call to engagement
- Fees — what was agreed, what has been received, what is still outstanding
Why a Nepali firm needs more than a generic system
Most legal software is built for a US or UK practice, and the gap shows up in small places that cost real time. A filing date entered in a Gregorian-only field has to be converted by hand every time somebody reads it back. A case-type list with no district, high or supreme distinction cannot answer "what is on our supreme list this month". A registry field like फाँट has nowhere to go, so it ends up in a free-text note where nothing can search it.
WakilFlow stores the Nepali fields as fields. Filing and verification dates carry both AD and BS values, court level is a first-class attribute you can filter and report on, and the section officer, section, and case subject each have their own place on the form.
- Every date on a case, hearing, diary entry and task is stored in AD and BS together — no mental arithmetic when reading a record back
- Court level on every matter: district · high · supreme · tribunal or special · other, filterable across the whole firm
- Nepal registry fields on the case form — receipt number, section officer (फाँटवाला), section (फाँट), case subject (मुद्दा), petitioner and respondent advocates
- Plans quoted and billed in Nepali rupees, per firm rather than per user
One record per matter, visible to the whole firm
A case carries its number (unique within your firm), title, court and court level, type, status, priority, the advocate it is assigned to, a client block, an opponent block including opposing counsel, and the registry details above. Notes sit on the case with their author and time, and can be marked internal.
A single activity timeline pulls notes, hearings and document uploads into one chronological view, so the question "what has actually happened on this matter" has one answer rather than three.
- Search across case number, title, client, opponent and court
- Filter by status, priority, assigned lawyer, court and court level; sort any column
- Status through open · active · pending · closed · won · lost · settled, and priority through low · medium · high · urgent
- Every write recorded in the audit log with the person who made it
A hearing diary the whole chamber can see
Scheduling a hearing writes it to the shared diary, updates the case’s next hearing date, and creates its reminders in one action. The reminders go out seven days before, one day before, and on the day itself, with the court, the date in both calendars, the time, the room and your preparation notes in the message.
Reminders reach email and the Android app. A record you move to the trash stops reminding you about itself, which sounds obvious and is the sort of thing that goes wrong in systems that bolt reminders on afterwards.
- Day agenda, today’s list, and the next thirty days, each one query away
- Hearing status through scheduled · completed · postponed · cancelled, with outcome and preparation notes
- Month grid showing hearings and Nepali holidays, switchable between BS and AD
- Per-type notification preferences and quiet hours, per person

Documents against the matter, not a folder tree
Uploads attach to the case, with a category — pleading, evidence, court order, contract, correspondence, other — plus tags and a description. A new copy of a document becomes a version chained to the original rather than a file called final-v3.
Downloads go through an authenticated, audited route; the media directory is never public. Documents marked confidential are hidden from anyone whose role lacks that specific capability, including the client-portal role.
- Single or bulk upload, with an extension allow-list and magic-byte checking on every file
- Version history per document, chained to the original
- Confidential flag as its own permission, separate from case access
- Optional Google Drive linking, so the file bytes can stay in the firm’s own Drive
Roles your firm defines, not roles we imposed
A workspace starts with four roles it can rename and retune — firm admin, lawyer, assistant and a read-only client role — and you can add as many of your own as you need. Each role carries a case scope (the whole firm, only their own matters, or no case access at all) plus individual switches for editing cases, scheduling hearings, uploading documents, viewing confidential files, managing enquiries, managing the team, billing and the audit log.
The permission layer resolves capabilities on every request, never a role name, so a "Managing Partner" or "Accountant" role you invent works the moment you create it. The accountant shape is the one worth calling out: no case access, but fees and analytics — which a fixed role list cannot express.
- Start from a template — Partner, Senior Lawyer, Paralegal, Secretary, Accountant — then adjust
- Invite by email, by link, or as a printable QR code; invites expire after seven days and can be revoked
- Changing someone’s role ends their sessions immediately, rather than at the next login
- Guards you cannot switch off: the last person who can manage the team cannot lose that ability, and a role people currently hold cannot be deleted
The same workspace from the court corridor
The Android app signs in to the same firm workspace and shows the same data: cases, hearings, the diary and the calendar. It caches what it has pulled, so a corridor with no signal still shows you tomorrow’s list, and writes made offline are queued and replayed when the connection returns.
There is no published iPhone app today — the iOS target builds, but nothing is on the App Store. On an iPhone the web app works in the browser.
- Free with every plan, Android 7.0 and above
- Offline cache covering cases, hearings, diary, documents and six months of calendar
- Push notifications for hearing reminders and assignments, scoped to the workspace you are in
- Biometric unlock

What it does not do
Worth knowing before you spend an afternoon on a trial, because none of this is on the roadmap page of a competitor either:
- No online fee collection. Payments are a record of what your clients agreed and paid — eSewa, Khalti and Connect IPS appear as methods you can log, not as gateways that move money.
- No connection to any court system. Nepal’s courts publish no API, so hearing dates and cause-list information are entered by your firm, not synced from a court.
- No trust accounting, and no GST or VAT invoicing.
- Migration from a spreadsheet is done by entering the open matters once. There is no import tool; CSV export out exists on the paid plans, so your data can leave again.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this suitable for a solo advocate, or only for firms?
- Both. A solo practitioner can register a one-person workspace and use the same cases, diary, documents and reminders. The value is slightly different — a firm gets shared visibility, a solo practitioner gets a hearing date that cannot be forgotten, because there is no colleague to catch it.
- Do we have to enter every old case before we can start?
- No, and firms that try usually stall. Enter the matters that are currently live and have dates coming up; closed files can stay where they are or be added when someone next touches them.
- Can our clerk use it without seeing every matter?
- Yes. A role can be set to see only the matters assigned to that person, or to see no cases at all while still working on fees or the diary. Confidential documents are a separate permission again.
- What happens to our data if we stop paying?
- Cases and leads export to CSV on the paid plans. You should treat the absence of an export as a reason not to adopt any legal software, ours included.
- Is our client information separated from other firms?
- Each firm is its own organisation, and every query is scoped to it at the permission layer with an object-level check behind that. Access inside the firm follows the roles your administrators set, and higher plans record an audit trail of who read and changed what.
