Why PractaHQ

Built for how law firms actually work

PractaHQ is practice management software designed for law firms in Zimbabwe — matter-centric files, multi-currency billing, trust accounting, and the workflows partners and fee earners use every day.

From scattered tools to one practice system

Most firms already work hard. The friction is usually the tools around the work — not the advocacy itself.

Without PractaHQ

Matters live in folders, email threads, and someone’s memory. Deadlines get chased late.

With PractaHQ

Every matter has a clear home — status, team, tasks, documents, and deadlines in one place.

Without PractaHQ

Time is reconstructed at month-end. Invoices go out late and WIP is hard to see.

With PractaHQ

Time is logged against the matter as work happens. Invoices in USD or ZiG follow from approved WIP.

Without PractaHQ

Trust, costs, and fee notes sit in separate books or spreadsheets.

With PractaHQ

Trust ledgers, bills of costs, and fee invoicing sit alongside the matter file your team already uses.

Without PractaHQ

Partners lack a single view of workload, unbilled work, and what needs attention.

With PractaHQ

Dashboards and lists surface active matters, WIP, deadlines, and approvals without another meeting.

Designed for Zimbabwean practice

Not a generic overseas product with a local logo — features that match how firms here run files and the office.

USD & ZiG billing

Invoice and record work in the currencies your firm actually uses — without forcing a foreign template onto local practice.

Trust accounting support

Maintain client trust ledgers, reconcile to bank statements, and produce inspection-ready trial balances and ledgers when you need them.

Conveyancing & labour packs

Stage rails, checklists, and matter fields shaped for transfer files and employment disputes — not generic project boards.

Counsel, execution & secretarial

Track briefs to counsel, sheriff and writ stages, and company secretarial deadlines for corporate clients.

Practising certificates & CPD

Keep practitioner certificates and CPD hours visible so renewals and professional development do not slip.

Local support

A team that understands Zimbabwean firm life — from fee notes and trust to partner oversight — not a call centre reading a foreign script.

What partners notice first

Clearer files, cleaner billing, and less chasing across WhatsApp, email, and spreadsheets.

01

Matter-first by design

Instructions, tasks, documents, time, and follow-ups attach to the file — the way lawyers already think about work.

02

Billing that matches the practice

Time entries, WIP review, invoices, recurring schedules, and payment tracking — so collections stay part of the file, not a separate project.

03

Roles that fit the firm

Partners, associates, lawyers, and support staff work with access that matches their responsibilities. Administrators decide who joins the workspace.

04

Ready without an IT project

No servers for your firm to maintain. Invite the team, set branding and practice areas, and start opening matters.

05

Precedents & firm rhythm

House-style templates, calendars, and deadlines keep the practice moving — with less reinventing of standard letters and fewer missed dates.

06

People alongside practice

Staff directory, leave and advance approvals, attendance, and payroll support sit with the same firm login your fee earners already use.

Your firm stays in control

PractaHQ is the workspace your team uses — not a marketplace, not a public directory. Partners decide who is invited, what each role can do, and how the firm is configured.

Matter records, documents, time, invoices, and trust ledgers belong to your firm. You choose what goes on a file, who works it, and when a matter is closed.

  • One private workspace per firm
  • Roles that match Partner, Associate, Lawyer, and support staff
  • Firm branding on invoices and correspondence
  • Modules you can grow into as the practice needs them

Built for daily discipline

The firms that get the most from PractaHQ treat it as the place work happens: open the matter, update the task, log the time, keep the deadline visible. That rhythm is what turns software into a quieter practice.
