PracticeMatters
Every matter, on track and on the record.
Open a matter, clear conflicts, assign the team and follow every court date, task and document, in one place the whole firm trusts.
The system of record
One matter. One reference. One version of the truth.
Every matter gets a human-readable reference built from your firm’s prefix and the year (QUA-2026-0014), so files, invoices and correspondence always match. Search finds a matter by its reference, client, party or title, and the dossier gathers the synopsis, team, documents, meetings, invoices and payments in one view.
Open matters the right way
Intake steps your firm can stand behind, run the same way every time.
Conflict check
New clients and parties are screened automatically when the matter is created.
Due diligence
Identity and AML checks are requested and recorded against the matter.
Engagement & retainer
Send the engagement letter for signature and raise the retainer invoice.
Activate
Once checks are complete, the matter opens fully for work, time and billing.
Conflicts
Automatic conflict screening, with a partner’s decision on record
Asem searches existing clients, matters and parties the moment a matter is opened. Possible conflicts go to the managing partner, who clears or declines them with a written reason that stays on the matter’s audit trail. Repeat business from an existing client clears itself.
- Screens the client, organisation contacts and parties
- Prospective clients don’t trigger false conflicts
- Every decision carries a named person and a reason
Teams
The right people on every matter, and nobody else
The managing partner assigns lawyers, clerks and paralegals. Team members accept or decline, and access follows the team: ethical walls keep restricted matters (their documents, AI results and connected-drive folders) away from anyone outside them.
- Lead lawyer plus supporting lawyers, clerks and paralegals
- Accept or decline assignments with feedback
- Walls enforced on every request, not just in the menu
Dates & tasks
Court dates, deadlines and tasks that reach the whole team
Record a court date on the matter and it lands in the firm’s court diary, on the team’s calendars and in their notifications. Tasks carry owners, due dates and history; computed deadlines are marked as decision support for a lawyer to confirm.
- Tasks delegated within the case team
- Service of process and undertakings registered on the matter
- Clerk and paralegal workbench with a 7-day diary
Insight
See the whole firm at a glance
Firm analytics show matters by stage, billable hours against each lawyer’s targets, utilisation, revenue and how long matters take to resolve. The managing partner sees the firm; each person sees their own numbers. Quarterly client surveys add the client’s view.
In short
What is legal case management software?
Legal case management software keeps everything about a law firm’s matters in one place: clients and parties, conflict checks, deadlines and court dates, tasks, documents, time and billing. Instead of paper files, diaries and email threads, everyone on the matter works from the same up-to-date record, with a history of what happened and when.

FAQ
How does the conflict check work?
When a matter is created, Asem automatically searches existing clients, matters and parties. The managing partner reviews any matches and records a decision with a reason, which stays on the matter’s audit trail.
Can a matter start before due diligence is finished?
Yes, provisionally, but client money can’t move until due diligence is approved.
Can a matter be linked to a project plan?
Yes. Projects with board, list, table, calendar and timeline views can be linked to a matter, with starter templates for litigation, corporate and conveyancing work.
Can I manage matters from my phone?
Yes. The mobile app gives lawyers, clerks and paralegals their matters, tasks, court diary and documents on the go.
