Learn how PractaHQ helps you manage your legal practice efficiently.

Platform Overview

PractaHQ is a comprehensive Legal Practice Management system designed specifically for law firms in Zimbabwe. It centralises your firm's operations, allowing partners and staff to collaborate on matters, track billable time, and manage client relationships in one secure environment.

Initial Setup

Once your firm is registered, the administrator should configure the firm settings, including:

  • Uploading your firm's logo for professional invoicing.
  • Setting up practice areas (e.g., Litigation, Conveyancing).
  • Inviting staff members and assigning appropriate roles.

Matter Management

The Matter module is the heart of PractaHQ. Every file or case is treated as a "Matter". You can track the stage (Intake, In Progress, Review, etc.), assign lead counsel, and manage tasks and documents specifically for that case.

Client Records

Maintain a central directory of your individual and corporate clients. PractaHQ helps you organize contact information and view the complete matter history for every client in your portfolio.

Billing & Finance

PractaHQ supports multi-currency billing. You can log time entries against matters, set specific hourly rates, and track unbilled WIP (Work in Progress). Our upcoming invoicing module will allow for one-click bill generation.
