Save Time Through Automation and Integration
When you onboard a new client in LeanLaw, you will create a client / matter. That matter will be automatically staged in the 365 environment, including permissions, matter specific folders, and other work elements.
A current LeanLaw client brags about being able to onboard a client in eight minutes. He sets up the client in LeanLaw and all the relevant folders and contacts are created in Microsoft — and are linked! The matter management organization to his legal services has created so many efficiencies that he no longer needs a legal assistant.

Best in Breed Law Firm Tech Stack
LeanLaw is a strong believer in using best in breed tools rather than an all-in-one practice management software. Practice management solutions can’t be great at all workflows. Because of that, many of the features you paid for go unused. You are overpaying for your software and defeating the initial purpose of the all-in-one idea.
