Features — legal case management software for UK solicitors

Everything you need for complex, high‑value matters — with time capture at the core.

WhatsApp integration

Capture WhatsApp messages, voice notes and document uploads directly to the file. Transcribe voice notes to attendance notes, upload documents straight into the matter’s SharePoint folder, and time record directly from the WhatsApp chat (with optional automatic suggestions) without breaking your flow.

Time recording interface

Time recording that is intuitive and can be achieved with a few taps of the keyboard. Time recording shouldn't take time!

Document storage repository

All matter documents in one place with easy foldering options and fully integratable with SharePoint OneDrive so that what you see on OrdoLux is completely mirrored with what you see on your desktop. You have control of your documents.

MS Outlook Integration

Automatically stores received and sent emails in OrdoLux so you don't have to. OrdoLux will also automatically time record for every email you send.

Two‑factor authentication (2FA)

Lock down access with optional firm‑wide 2FA enforcement. Built for regulated environments where security controls and auditability matter.

Integrated KYC (Checkboard)

Activate Checkboard for your firm and run KYC/AML checks directly from the matter’s Compliance tab. Invite clients by email, track status automatically, and keep reports (and optional PDFs) linked to the file for supervision and audits.

Client account reconciliation

Upload bank statements for client account reconciliation and keep supporting documents attached to the matter record.

Card payments via Stripe

Let clients pay invoices online with a secure Stripe Checkout link. Add a “Pay now” button to your bill and clients can pay instantly from email or mobile — with payments recorded back against the invoice.

Xero integration

Connect Xero to sync issued invoices from OrdoLux and keep your accounting up to date without double entry. Map account codes and tax types once, then issue bills in OrdoLux and see the Xero reference linked back to the matter.

QuickBooks Online integration

Connect QuickBooks Online (QBO) to sync issued invoices and generate clean import packs for office accounting where needed. Set your mappings once, then keep bills and payment allocations consistent.

Mobile apps (iOS & Android)

Work from anywhere with the OrdoLux mobile apps. Capture time, view key matter details, upload documents, and keep the file up to date when you’re away from the desk.

Solicitor accounting

Client and office ledgers, disbursements, and transfers. Record payments and generate statements; export to CSV and connect Xero or QuickBooks Online for smoother finance workflows.

Invoice generator

Create professional bills with itemised time and disbursements. Interim/final statute bills, branded templates, and PDF output ready to send.

Document template generator

Easily customisable template documents. Streamlining your drafting couldn't be easier.

Court Forms Repository

Access a searchable library of 359 official HMCTS court forms across 15 practice areas — Civil, Possession, Enforcement, Costs, Probate, Children Act, Divorce, Court of Protection, Fees, Family, Employment, Upper Tribunal, and more.

When you generate a form from within a matter, OrdoLux automatically fills in the fields it knows — your firm details, the fee earner, file reference, parties, court name, and case number. The form is saved straight to the matter’s SharePoint folder and ready to download. Everything else stays blank and editable, so the solicitor just completes the parts that need human judgment.

No external services, no additional cost. Like everything in OrdoLux, it’s included as standard.

Private Client Workflows — Wills, LPA and Probate

A dedicated Private Client workspace built into every matter assigned to a Private Client department. OrdoLux handles the full scope of private client work in one place — no bolt-ons, no additional cost.

Wills — capture testator details, executors, trustees, guardians and beneficiaries. Manage residuary shares and specific legacies with automatic share validation. Track every stage from initial instructions through to execution and safe custody.

Lasting Powers of Attorney — manage Property & Financial Affairs and Health & Welfare LPAs independently on the same matter. Record the donor, attorneys, replacement attorneys, certificate provider and people to notify. Track OPG registration status and log the registered LPA reference when received.

Probate & Estate Administration — record the deceased’s details, estate type (testate or intestate), executors and administrators. Build a full asset and liability schedule with automatic IHT calculations — gross estate, net estate, nil-rate band, transferable NRB, residence NRB and IHT payable — updating in real time as you go. Add beneficiaries with share percentages and track distributions. Export a clean estate accounts PDF at any stage.

All three workflows include a dedicated stage tracker — auto-initialised on first open — with status cycling, notes per stage, and a progress update email sent directly from the matter via Microsoft 365.
