Family law

A modern system for family law firms

Why family law firms
switch to Clasp

Family law is people, paperwork and retainers, all moving at once. Clasp keeps every part of a matter together, so your firm can give its attention to the family in front of it.

The whole matter in one place
Intake, email, documents, calendar, billing and trust live on every case. Most practice software only stores files.
Clients who feel looked after
Every client gets a portal with their next date, what's waiting for their signature and where their retainer stands.
Money that takes care of itself
Retainers top themselves up, flat rate products cover the simpler matters, and payments post to the right ledger on their own.
01The first call

Retained before
the first meeting

A divorce inquiry at 9:42 at night is a case by morning. Your intake form asks the questions family matters need, then the engagement letter goes out for signature and the retainer lands in trust.
