Why small law firms choose OrdoLux
Most legal case management software is built for large firms and then offered to small ones at reduced functionality or bewildering per-module pricing. OrdoLux is different: it was designed from the start for the economics and workflows of small UK practices.
Small firms lose proportionately more revenue to unrecorded time than large ones — because there is no dedicated billing team chasing timesheets. OrdoLux solves this by making time recording continuous and low-friction: automatic time entries from Outlook emails, WhatsApp capture straight onto the matter file, and fast keyboard-driven entry for everything else.
The flat £50 + VAT per fee earner pricing means a two-fee-earner firm pays £100 + VAT a month. No hidden modules, no size penalties, no annual contract. If the software stops earning its place, you can leave — and we will help you export everything.
What small law firms get with OrdoLux
Time recording that actually captures time
Outlook email integration creates time entries automatically as you send. WhatsApp messages are logged onto the matter. Running timers for longer tasks. Keyboard-friendly entry for everything else. Small firms typically recover 15–25% more chargeable time in the first three months.
Matter management without the complexity
Open a new matter in under a minute. Every matter has its own workspace for time, documents, billing and notes. Clear, simple — no training manual required.
Billing & invoicing
Generate itemised invoices from matter time and disbursements. Add a Stripe “Pay now” link so clients can pay by card immediately. Export to Xero or QuickBooks for your accountant.
Microsoft 365 — your data stays yours
Outlook email capture, SharePoint document storage inside your own Microsoft tenant, Teams integration. No third-party document hosting. Your files are yours, always.
WhatsApp — capture client messages properly
Small firm clients often communicate on WhatsApp. OrdoLux captures those messages, voice notes and documents directly onto the matter so you have a proper record — and can time record from them.
KYC, e-signatures & more — all included
Checkboard KYC/AML checks, built-in e-signatures, bundle builder and AI research tools. No extra modules to buy — everything is in the flat fee.
