Migrate from FilePro or LawMaster before December 2026.
The biggest migration event in Australian legal tech in a decade is happening right now. CounselOS is built for this switch — a five-business-day target from export to operational, fixed monthly pricing, a migration validation report, and an Australian team that picks up the phone.
The migration path
Five business days, end to end.
A typical FilePro or LawMaster migration with CounselOS. We do the heavy lifting; your firm books a single hour to confirm the handover.
Day 1
Export & analysis
You hand us an anonymised export of matters, clients, time entries, documents, and trust ledger. We map it to CounselOS shape and produce a row-count report with any data quality issues flagged.
Day 2
Trial load + reconciliation
We load the data into your firm’s trial workspace, rebuild running trust balances, and reconcile against your last bank reconciliation. Any discrepancies are flagged for your review.
Day 3
Settings + compliance configuration
State-specific trust accounting rules applied, costs disclosure templates customised, your firm's branding loaded into the client portal, AI usage policy generated for your practice areas.
Day 4
Staff walkthrough
Sixty-minute training session for your team. Live Q&A. We record it so future hires can watch. Your principal signs off on the migration.
Day 5
Go live
Your team switches over. The old system stays read-only for reference. Monday morning starts in CounselOS like it has always been there. We are on hand for the first week.
What we migrate.
Everything that the prior system tracked, with the same numbers. We do not alter trust ledger entries; we preserve them exactly and rebuild running balances from the original transaction history.
Source platforms supported today: FilePro, LawMaster. Other platforms on request.
Questions every principal asks first.
What happens to my running trust balances?+
Trust account entries migrate exactly as recorded. We rebuild running balances from that history, then reconcile the result against your most recent bank reconciliation. Any discrepancy is flagged for your principal to sign off before go-live.
Do my matter numbers change?+
No. Your existing matter numbers are preserved exactly. Your team types the same matter references; clients see the same matter on their correspondence.
What if my prior system used a billing model CounselOS does not support?+
CounselOS supports hourly, fixed, capped, success, and retainer billing. Any matter whose billing model does not map cleanly is flagged for your review during migration — you decide before go-live.
How do you handle privileged data?+
Australian data only. Hosted in Sydney. Sensitive matter content encrypted at rest. Client-identifying details protected before any outside AI is used. We sign a written data processing agreement before the migration starts.
What if we change our mind after migrating?+
No exit fees. No lock-in. We export your data in the same shape we received it. CounselOS is month-to-month — if you decide it is not for you, we wish you well.
Can I trial CounselOS while still on my old platform?+
Yes. Most firms run a parallel month with one practice area in CounselOS before committing the rest. We can load a one-practice-area trial workspace in a single business day.
