What software do small law firms use?

Small firms typically use a few different types of software to run their firms. Your chosen legal software suite is the central and most important piece of the tech stack, but lawyers also use accounting software, such as QuickBooks Online or Xero, document software such as Microsoft Word, and an email provider such as Microsoft Outlook or Gmail. Small firm practitioners may also use tools like virtual receptionists or virtual assistants to help manage administrative work.

For small law firms, it’s best if all your tools integrate and share case and contact information, to reduce workload and risk of error. The Clio App Directory has over 200 integrations to explore, so you can find out how it will integrate with the tools you are currently using.
