We can migrate your data into our legal case management system


For many law firms, transitioning to a new practice management system can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, Lawsyst simplifies this process, and has developed a system for migrating your legal matters and historical data into our platform without a hitch.

In most cases, we will be able to migrate the following types of data: 

  • Matter information 
  • Client information
  • Employee details
  • Bank feeds
  • Client, purchase and general ledgers 
  • Practice areas and matter types
  • Case documentation
  • Time tracking records
  • Branch-specific details

 

The full extent of what we can migrate will be discussed with you prior to data migration.  

 

How data migration works with Lawsyst


Our technical team has years of experience helping law firms switch to our all-in-one case management software. In this time, we have cultivated a reliable and efficient migration process to ensure hassle-free transitions and the secure transfer of all your essential data. 

 

  • Introduction and onboarding

 

When you become a new Lawsyst customer, we will set up an onboarding call so that we can get to grips with the intricacies of your current case management system and create a strategy for replicating its structure within Lawsyst. This call is your opportunity to highlight any specific requirements, ask questions, and receive guidance on data cleansing. We will also explore the best method for acquiring your existing data from your current provider. 

 

  • Testing

 

Before migrating all your data, we will import a sample dataset into a secure testing environment. You will then be shown a preview of how your information will look in Lawsyst, and have the opportunity to review the setup and provide feedback. We are committed to ensuring our system aligns with your firm’s needs and will happily accommodate any necessary adjustments based on your suggestions. 

 

  • Full data import and go-live

 

Once you are satisfied, we will proceed with the full data migration, ensuring everything is accurately converted into Lawsyst. Before the system goes live, you will have the opportunity to review the imported data for accuracy, as well as book live training sessions for your team so that everyone can confidently begin using Lawsyst from day one.
