LAA UPDATE: The LAA have announced that their new bulk upload portal will go live in February 2026. Lawsyst team are pleased to share that our systems are ready for the new changes. There is nothing new to learn in Lawsyst but please ensure that you are abreast with the new SaBC portal. Please note that you will no longer be able to create claims on the SaBC portal. You must upload the bulk-upload file each month even if with zero claims. Secondly, the new SaBC portal will allow one bulk-upload per contract each month. Previously providers were able to upload one bulk upload file for multiple contracts. This means that the providers will need to allow more time for the billing purposes. Finally, the LAA will require retrospect bulk-upload files that must include the 'New Fee Code' to be uploaded for the contingency period. We are pleased to share that Lawsyst system supports creation of bulk-upload files in the new format for any previous months.     We are hiring. If you have experience in the legal tech industry, we would love to talk to you. Please send your CV to info@lawsyst.co.uk

A niche prison law and civil claims firm saves time, improves accuracy, and secures client data with Lawsyst.

 

About the Client

Insta Law is a niche UK law firm specialising in prison law legal aid and civil claims against authorities. With a strong legal aid focus, Insta Law needed a modern case management solution to keep up with their demanding caseload.

 

The Challenge

Insta Law’s previous system was outdated and inefficient. The team struggled with:

  • Inaccurate or incomplete legal aid billing forms
  • Slow, manual admin processes
  • Limited flexibility and lack of customisation
  • Weak integration with financial tools and daily workflows

 

The directors knew it was time to replace the old system with something built for legal aid work.

 

The Solution: Lawsyst

After evaluating alternatives, Insta Law selected Lawsyst for its adaptability and client-first approach.

 

Tailored Customisation 

  • Built a new legal aid billing form to match unique needs
  • Adjusted time recording & progress reporting
  • Restricted access to sensitive documents for directors only

 

Efficiency Boosts

  • Automated time recording (including Outlook email logging)
  • Faster billing with corrections directly on case files
  • Bulk LAA submissions automated, reducing admin hours
  • Xero integration for smooth financial management

 

The Results

By switching to Lawsyst, Insta Law achieved:

  • Greater accuracy in billing and disbursements
  • Significant time savings across the practice
  • Minimal training needed due to intuitive interface
  • Enhanced security with role-based access
  • Continuous development tailored to their needs

 

Client Testimonial

“The most impressive aspect of moving to Lawsyst is the dedication of the team in making sure the system works properly for us. From minor usability improvements to major developments like the creation of a CRM18 form, every change has resulted in greater efficiency. From a user perspective, the system has been a real step forward from our previous software, and we look forward to our continued partnership with Lawsyst.”
