Software for litigation firms: the deadlines counted correctly, the file ready for court, the time billed.

Litigation is deadlines and preparation. AttorneyOS counts court days the way Uniform Rule 1 does, keeps every matter's prescription date on a firm-wide register, builds a checklist for each court day, sends the court roll to the firm every Monday, and turns the hours in court into billable time on the matter.

What a file looks like in AttorneyOS.

Every step below is a screen in the product today, not a roadmap.

Summons served

Calculate the dies for the notice of intention to defend and the plea, see the working, and add both dates to the diary and the matter in one click each.

Preparation

The court-day checklist lists the file, heads, bundles, counsel, the client and transport. Reminders go out the day before. Documents live on the matter, permission-checked.

Court

The outcome is recorded on the checklist with the next steps, and the hours in court post to the matter as billable time.

Prescription

The register shows every open matter by prescription date, soonest first, and flags the files with no date at all, amber at 90 days and red at 30.

Month-end

Unbilled work becomes fee notes in one step, with disbursements recovered and counsel's fees shown separately.

The parts of AttorneyOS litigation use most.

Questions litigation ask.

How does the dies calculator treat public holidays?

It uses the South African public-holiday calendar, including the moveable Easter holidays and the Sunday-to-Monday rule, and counts court days per Uniform Rule 1.

Can the whole firm see prescription risk?

Yes. The register is firm-wide and lists the matters with no prescription date recorded, which is where the real risk hides.

Does it work for Magistrates' Court and Labour Court matters?

The court-day method is the same; each court's rules set the periods. The calculator counts court or calendar days as the rule requires.

Can counsel see the file?

Documents on the matter can be shared with counsel by secure link, and counsel's fees are recorded as disbursements against the matter.

Which plan do litigation firms need?

The diary, the deadline calculator and the prescription register are in every plan, including Solo Attorney.
