Practice management for law firms
Run your whole practice from one system.
Hukunci holds your matters, clients, documents, time and billing in one place, whether your firm is a single office or several branches. Every action is checked against permissions and recorded in an audit trail.

Why one system
A practice is not three businesses. Stop running it on three systems.
Most practices end up with a case tool, an accounting package and a folder of spreadsheets that never agree with each other. Hukunci keeps the work, the money and the people in one place, so a fact only has to be true once.
The work
Matters, consultations and retainers share one record shape, one team model and one timeline, so a lawyer learns the system once. Transactional work is a matter with a different type on it rather than a separate module.
- Matters
- Consultations
- Retainers
- Tasks
- Calendar
- Meetings
The money
Recorded time is reviewed, approved and billed without re-keying. Expenses route through the firm's real approval chain. Payroll runs from the same staff records.
- Time tracking
- Invoicing
- Expenses
- Vendors
- Payroll
- Analytics
The people
Leave, appraisals, assessments, CPD and compliance sit beside the work they measure, so performance figures come from what was actually recorded.
- Leave
- Holidays
- Appraisals
- Assessments
- Learning & CPD
- Compliance
Modules
Everything a practice runs on, already built.
Twelve of the 35 modules included with every account. Each one has a page of its own.
Matters
Litigation and non-litigation work in one record, with the team, the court, the timeline and the paperwork attached to it.
Read moreClient portal
A separate, secure sign-in where a client sees their own engagements and nothing else.
Read moreDocument management
A private repository organised the way a matter file is organised, with history kept rather than overwritten.
Read moreTime tracking
Recorded time that goes through review before it reaches a client's invoice.
Read moreInvoicing
Invoices raised against any engagement, approved internally, and sent looking like the firm's own.
Read moreExpenses
Claims that route themselves through the firm's actual approval chain.
Read moreVendors
The suppliers the firm actually pays: onboarded, contactable, and with bank-detail changes put through approval.
Read morePayroll & finance
Salary profiles, payroll runs and payslips alongside the firm's accounts and reporting.
Read moreAnalytics
The firm's own numbers, worked out rather than listed: utilisation, collections, profitability, concentration and spend.
Read moreLeave
Policies, balances and requests, with the calendar and the availability picture kept in step.
Read moreAppraisals
Performance reviews where the numbers come from the system rather than from memory.
Read moreAudit log & activity
Every meaningful change writes a record saying who, what, when, and against which matter.
Read moreClient portal
Your clients stop emailing to ask where things are.
Clients sign in to their own portal and see the matters they are party to, the updates the firm has published, their documents, their invoices and what is coming up. Everything is scoped to them, and nothing appears until the firm marks it client-visible.
- Matters, updates and upcoming events, scoped to that client alone
- Documents to download, and documents the client can upload
- Invoices to view and download, with payment status
- Request a consultation, raise a complaint, leave feedback, message the team
Approvals & audit
Approvals that follow your actual chain of command.
Expense claims move through the stages your firm defines (line manager, finance, admin, partner, managing partner), and each stage can approve, reject, skip or send it back with a note. Time entries and invoices carry their own approval steps. Everything lands in the audit log.
- Per-stage status and an approval log on every claim
- Returned items carry the reason, kept on the record
- Audit entries typed by entity and action, with the actor and related matters
- An activity feed staff can follow, drawn from the same events
Documents & collaboration
Draft, review and sign off without leaving the file.
Documents live in folders that mirror the matter file, with versions kept rather than overwritten. Open one and edit it in the browser, together. Files stay in private storage and are only ever served through authenticated endpoints.
- Folders per matter, with filing, evidence and correspondence categories
- Versioning, status and tags on every document
- In-browser editing and co-authoring
- A channel per matter, plus video calls with guest invites for outside counsel
Many practices, one platform
Your practice’s data, sealed off and encrypted.
Many practices use Hukunci, and each one only ever sees its own records. That separation is built into the foundation of the system. Your documents are encrypted before they are stored, with keys that belong to your firm alone, and every member of staff signs in with two steps. On top of that sit branches, departments, your own branding and roles built from permissions across every module.
Kept apart
Each firm only ever sees its own records, checked by automated tests
Encrypted documents
Every file locked with its own key before it is stored
Two-step sign in
Required for every member of staff, available to clients
Access by role
Your firm decides who can see and do what, module by module
See it against your own matters.
