AILaw firm management software · Self-hosted legal SaaSDescribe it. AI drafts it. The client signs it.

A complete, self-hosted legal SaaS for law firms, led by AI Smart Forms: one prompt becomes a signable document, and the signed PDF files itself on the matter. Practice management, a website with online booking for every firm, subscription billing and a browser installer are all included.

New in 1.5

Signing by several people, and an API for your other systems

Smart Forms now collect every signature a document needs, check who signed, and connect to the CRM or ERP a firm already uses.

Smart Forms

Owner, Co-owner and Witness

Each signer gets their own link and fills only their own fields, in order or all at once. When everyone has signed, one sealed PDF with a signing record goes to every signer.

  • ID document and live selfie for each signer
  • Paid extras, such as a certified copy, while signing
  • SHA-256 fingerprint on every sealed PDF
Integrations

API keys, webhooks and MCP

Firms connect Perfex CRM or another ERP through scoped API keys and signed webhooks, and AI assistants through the MCP server add-on.

  • Keys carry only the permissions they need
  • Webhooks retried, with a delivery log
  • Three home page designs and nine firm website templates

Add-on modules, and a free Conflict Check

Add features in one click without touching the code. Sell them in your plans, grant them to single firms, or build your own.

For platform owners

Add-on modules

Install official add-ons from Super Admin, update them with one click, and decide which plans or firms get them. Add-on pages sit in an Add-ons group in the sidebar.

  • Only signed modules install; every change asks for your password
  • A broken add-on switches itself off, the rest keeps running
  • Build your own with React pages and a working example
Free add-on for firms

Conflict Check

Before taking a case on, search the new client and the other side across clients, matters and recorded parties, then record the decision in a conflict log.

  • Clear, Conflict or Waived, with notes and CSV export
  • A register of opposing parties, counsel and witnesses
  • New clients who were on the other side are flagged
Matterly Conflict Check: a search for Harbor finds an opposing party on an existing matter and asks the firm to record the outcome

Signature features

Five features that set Matterly apart

The everyday practice tools are included. These five are the ones your customers are likely to notice first.

01 Flagship
Smart Forms · LegalFrame

Documents that draft, sign and file themselves

Describe the document in plain English and Matterly writes the draft, including the fields to fill in. Share a secure link, collect answers and e-signatures, send it back for changes, and the signed PDF lands on the matter.

  • AI writes the whole form from one prompt, or start blank and drag fields in
  • Secure link with PIN lock and expiry, email, or send from a matter
  • Client and firm both receive the signed PDF by email
  • Flag the answers to fix; the Changes view shows exactly what the client changed
  • Right-to-left languages supported
02
Multi-tenant platform

Run your practice or sell the whole platform

One install serves unlimited firms, each sealed off from the next. Plans, coupons, AI-credit wallets and nightly card renewals are already wired, so the platform can bill for itself from day one.

  • Unlimited firms, fully isolated data
  • Plans, coupons and AI-credit control
  • Subscriptions renew and invoice themselves
03
AI Staff

AI drafts the work. You approve it.

Four agents prepare review replies, client updates, deadline plans and revenue notes. Their drafts wait in an approval inbox with a daily credit limit, and nothing is sent unless the firm approves it or turns on auto-send for that agent.

  • Review, client, case-task and revenue agents
  • Approve or edit drafts; auto-send is opt-in
  • Complete audit trail and daily spend cap
04
Website & client portal

A firm website that books the consultation for you

AI drafts a full firm site from a short brief. The chat widget answers questions, takes the client's details, opens the matter and sends a payment link. Clients can then follow their matter in the client portal.

  • AI website, block editor and SEO copy
  • Books real consultations inside the chat
  • Custom domain plus a private client portal
05
Matter workspace

The whole case file on one screen

Tasks, billing, messages, forms, calendar and the activity history sit in tabs on the matter. Each staff member only sees the tabs their role allows.

  • Six permission-gated tabs per matter
  • Full activity history, newest first
  • Invoices, documents and deadlines in place
Also included

The rest of the feature set

Everything below is part of the same app, from client intake to the firm website, with staff permissions throughout.

Multi-tenant SaaS

Run unlimited firms from one install. Each is fully isolated with its own data, staff, plan, and AI-credit wallet.

Firm website builder

Launch a branded, multilingual firm site with a block editor, consultation booking, and online checkout.

AI features

Content & SEO copy, fee advice, review replies, case-task priorities, and a RAG-grounded client chatbot.

Payments & invoices

Each firm can use Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal or LigdiCash (mobile money and cards across West and Central Africa), Paystack through a free add-on, or take payment at the office. Includes client invoices and platform billing.

Staff & roles

Reception, paralegals, accountants, and partners each see only the menus they're permitted to use.

Client inbox & WhatsApp

Client conversations in one inbox, with an inbound WhatsApp webhook and human hand-off from the chat widget.

Analytics & reports

Caseload, revenue, MRR and AI usage, with month-over-month trends and CSV export.

Browser installer

A guided setup wizard writes the config, migrates the database, and creates your admin account. No shell access needed.

Add-on modules

Install official add-ons in one click, include them in plans or grant them per firm, or build your own with the module API.

Conflict Check

A free add-on: search clients, matters and opposing parties before taking a case, and keep a conflict log you can export.

Questions, answered

Is Matterly self-hosted?

Yes. It's a self-hosted script. You install it on your own server with your own database, so the data and the customer relationships stay with you.

Can clients fill in and sign documents online?

Yes, with Smart Forms. The firm drafts a document (with AI or by hand), shares a secure link, and the client fills it in and signs on screen. Both sides get the completed PDF by email. The firm can accept it, file it on a matter, or ask for specific answers to be corrected and see every change. Try one on the live demo without logging in.

Can each firm have its own website?

Yes. Every firm gets a branded, multilingual public site with a block-based builder, live consultation availability, and an online booking flow, on a subdomain or a custom domain.

Do I need shell access to install?

No. Upload the files, point your web root at public/, and open /install. The wizard writes the config, runs migrations, links storage, and creates your admin account. For subscription renewals, reminders and client texts, add one cron job from your hosting control panel.

Which payment gateways are supported?

Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal and LigdiCash per firm for client payments, plus pay-at-office. LigdiCash lets clients pay by mobile money (Orange Money, Moov, MTN, Wave and others) or card in nine West and Central African countries, in CFA francs. Platform subscriptions renew automatically by card through Stripe, and firms can also pay each subscription invoice by mobile money through LigdiCash. The free Paystack add-on adds cards, bank transfer, USSD and mobile money in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya, for client payments and for subscription renewals.

What do I need to run it?

A web server with PHP 8.2 or newer and a MySQL 8 or MariaDB 10.6+ database. An OpenAI-compatible API key is optional and powers the AI features.

Can I sell Matterly to other firms as a SaaS?

Yes, with the Extended licence. One install runs unlimited firms, each with its own data, plan and billing, and subscriptions renew and invoice themselves.

Can I add new features without editing the code?

Yes. Since version 1.3, official add-on modules install in one click from Super Admin → Modules. Include them in your plans or grant them to single firms. The Conflict Check and Paystack add-ons are free, and developers can build their own modules with React pages using the documented module API and a downloadable example.

How do updates work?

New versions install with one click from Super Admin → License & Updates. Each update is signature-checked, only changed files are replaced, everything is backed up first and restored automatically if anything fails, and your .env, uploads and translations are kept.

How do the AI features work?

They call an OpenAI-compatible provider you configure, metered by a per-firm credit wallet. Without a key, a built-in rule-based assistant still answers common client questions.
