Built on trust, backed by experience
Twenty years inside law firms rather than around them.
The problem
Most firms we meet are running four systems that disagree with each other.
Your practice management system does not talk to your accounting. Your accountant cannot tell you which fee earner made money last month. Your precedents live on somebody’s desktop.
Trust reconciliation takes a day you do not have, and the audit is in six weeks.
Any of that sound familiar?
It is the same four problems in almost every firm we walk into, and none of them are really software problems. They are what happens when four vendors each own a piece of your firm and none of them owns the join.
We have been on the inside
We did not arrive from a software company with a product to sell. We have run the back office of Australian and New Zealand law firms for twenty years, which is why the software looks the way it does.
The answer
Thirty functions. One system. One bill.
Matters, documents, billing, trust and office accounting, payroll, compliance and task-driven AI — the thirty things most firms buy from a dozen vendors and hold together with integrations. One login. One invoice. No vendor pointing at another vendor when something breaks.
Precedents, Accounting, Bundles, Payroll and AI are not five purchases beside a sixth. They are what LAPM OS is made of.
The proof
Firms that hand us the back office stay.
What a firm is really buying is the people who have done this before. Twenty years of running law firm back offices, and the same team doing it.
“For the last 5 years, LAPM continues to do a wonderful job taking care of our billing, trust accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and compliance. It gives us more time to focus on our clients and the actual legal work.”
