What J-Lawyer does
J-Lawyer is developed with lawyers for lawyers and describes itself as simple, fast and secure. Firms install it on Windows, Linux or macOS, run it on the j-lawyer.BOX office server (physical or virtualised), or use it cloud-based. A companion app covers time recording, beA messages and email. The software is extended through case data sheets for specific matter types; recent additions include sheets for SCHUFA credit reports and for anti-money-laundering (GwG) and PEP checks, alongside updates to its beA integration. Version 3.6 is the current release, and AI functions can be integrated. J-Lawyer has an active community with a forum, wiki, tickets and a newsletter, and anyone can contribute to its development. The software itself is free; paid services include the j-lawyer.BOX server, cloud hosting, templates and support.
