April 1, 2026

4.0

I have had overall good experience with LEAP, the accounting has been good, but the integration is a bit problematic at times for word, excel, and Adobe

Pros

Easy to use, the invoicing is easy, the logging into the files is good, keeping records is good, and works well most of the time.

Cons

Slowness and crashing of the app, the app sometimes does not fit the screen, the adobe integration can be better, the word documents crash at times.

### "We recommend LEAP!"

March 13, 2026

5.0

Convenient and easy to use. LEAP is constantly adding new functions and improving the product. Five stars.

Pros

The reporting options are extremely helpful and we appreciate the integrated online payments via FeeWise. Reporting Groups make it easy to group and track specific matters. Additionally, client success reps are quick to respond about issues and communicate or work to implement suggestions.

Cons

Rate assignment is time consuming, and there is no way to set a rate to apply to all Partners, all associates, etc. but instead must do so for each timekeeper individually. Manageable with a small firm but would scale poorly. Also, there is no way to transfer funds directly from Operating to Trust.

### "Powerfull Tools, needs a better user interface."

March 20, 2026

3.0

Overall, I miss the old divorcemate compared to LEAP. While LEAP is very powerful software, it takes a lot of work to be able to use it to its full potential because so many things seem hidden or hard to find, and the tutorials aren't very helpful.

Pros

LEAP has a lot of advantages, namely that it combines document and matter management, time keeping, and billing into one tool. There are a lot of really helpful features, particularly the ability to design and personalize templates that function a lot like mail merge in office. I also really enjoy the divorcemate cloud integration.

Cons

When we started with LEAP, it often felt like we were beta testing software that was already supposed to be finished. The software is really buggy. It doesn't integrate well with Microsoft Office and the integrations often cause random errors or crashing with microsoft word. I've had to completely uninstall and reinstall the app several times when it seems to get 'stuck' or won't update properly for random reasons - for example, new matters won't show up when I login and only appear when searching archived matters as well. I don't like that I can't open multiple windows in the matter; it makes it cumbersome to move documents between various folders. It also struggles if you have a weaker internet connection. I don't find the software particularly intuitive - many of the tools are not where you would expect them to be.

LEAP was an integrated all in one solution, and was taking over divorcemate. To keep divorcemate we functionally had to switch to LEAP, we didn't necessarily want to.

### "Five Star Review."

February 17, 2026

5.0

Since Day one it has changed the way I approach my work. Leap is a time saving tool for me and i feel so much more organised. All the trainers since inception including hte UK aspect were always highly professional and helpful. Leap is a highly professional service and Aid for Busy legal Practitioners.

Pros

Invaluable System offering a simple clever time saving way to run the office and files. All the trainers such as \[sensitive content hidden\] are highly professional and experienced. I also love the addition of the AI tool. I am continuing to improve my firm and productivity with this excellent service.

Cons

I have used other case management systems in the past and have to say there is nothing per se I don't like about leap. However I wish I hade more time to learn to use it to it's full potential so am linking in with \[sensitive content hidden\] for more bite sized regular training and Practice.

### "Working Smarter With LEAP"

March 13, 2026

5.0

While it was a bit a rough start when Divorcemate was not completely integrated, the integration of same that has occurred since has made this a great experience.

Pros

It is great for time management and billing. Simply being able to save emails directly to a file and bill for same is a gamechanger. We love the accessibility and cloud access. The value for money is definitely present. And the features are fantastic. It has dramatically improved capturing our time and billing.

Cons

Access to customer support is more efficient within the App than within the actual program. It would be great if there was a simply one button click to get to support in the program.

### "Best Legal Client Relationship Management Software"

March 30, 2026

5.0

I think it is well worth the cost, given all of its features along with the abilty to have cloud access. It is a fully integrated piece of software, and more importantly, the team at LEAP is excellent to work with and are always looking for ways to improve and enhance the software.

Pros

We have used several other legal practice management softwares, but none of them were fully integrated. Especially trust accounting. LEAP is by far the best fullly integrated practice management software I have ever used, and the trust accounting and reporting keeps us LSO compliant.

Cons

It takes quite a bit of time to load and can be a bit glitchy as times. This is expected as it is so robust, but that would be my only complaint.

### "Leap is your one-stop-shop for a boutique law firm "

April 30, 2026

5.0

I've been using Leap since my firm's inception 10 years ago. Alot has changed since then but I'm loving the product more and more as further software and options are added to the platform. I don't need to go elsewhere to get a better price, or better software options. Leap are always staying ahead of the movements in the legal industry and adapting with it.

Pros

It's a one-stop-shop for a practice management and document management system. There is very little we have to use outside of the platform. It allows boutique firms to run their businesses like larger firms do.

Cons

All the different points of contact. I would much prefer to liaise with only one person who can assist me and my firm across various areas.

### "True “all‑in‑one” system"

April 24, 2026

5.0

Great and time saving. This is particularly valued by small firms and sole practitioners, where admin overhead falls directly on the principal. Also it is cloude based and convenient to work from any where in the world.

Pros

it acts as an all‑in‑one system for a sole practitioner. The document automation and precedents save substantial drafting time and give consistency across conveyancing, trust, and lending files. The built‑in workflows replace manual checklists and reduce the risk of missing steps. AML and compliance tools keep files audit‑ready with minimal extra effort. Having matters, documents, billing, trust accounting, and correspondence in one system lowers admin burden and cognitive load. When used properly, LEAP effectively replaces a junior lawyer, practice manager, and compliance officer in one platform

Cons

It may be cost–effort imbalance when you’re not fully using it. It feels expensive for a sole practitioner, especially given the time needed to set up and maintain precedents and workflows. The desktop interface can feel clunky and dated, and email handling—particularly with Outlook Web—adds unnecessary manual steps. LEAP is also quite rigid: you must work “the LEAP way”, which can feel frustrating when you want speed or flexibility. In short, it’s powerful but heavy, unforgiving of under‑use, and sometimes more complex than you’d like for straightforward matters.

### "Principal Solicitor"

April 1, 2026

5.0

Improving significant since we have had a Client Success Manager, who is the person to ensure I can use the programme more efficiently.

Pros

Innovations and their commitment to development of the software program to make things work more efficiently. Since we have had our Client Success Manager, we feel the LEAP can be customised for our firm's needs. Also joinging LEAP first allows for legal practitioners to collaborate with the developers. The AI component makes it seem more secured and allows of documents to be stored in the one workspace.

Cons

Perhaps that each component inside leap seem to be working in silos. It does not seem to be a cohesive team between LawY, AI paralegal, infotrack LEAP, smokeball and trisearch.

### "Our experience with the LEAP Legal Software Customer Service team has been exceptional. "

February 19, 2026

5.0

Our experience with the LEAP Legal Software Customer Service team has been exceptional. They take the time to carefully listen to any queries or challenges we raise and consistently provide clear, practical resolutions tailored to our firm’s needs. No matter how minor the issue may seem, the team is always patient, responsive, and thorough in their support. Any software-related matters are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimising disruption to our workflow which is essential in a busy firm. Their understanding of the legal environment ensures that solutions are not only technically sound but also practical within a busy practice setting. The software itself is intuitive, efficient, and extremely well suited to legal work. It has significantly reduced the time spent creating and drafting legal documents, streamlining processes across the firm. The Leap Accounting function allows for seamless time costing and is a great tool to manage financial accounts. The AI functionality is particularly valuable, assisting with structuring and refining legal drafting and helping to formulate ideas clearly and professionally. Overall, the software is truly invaluable within the legal sector and has become an essential part of our daily operations. A special thank you to \[sensitive content hidden\], Customer Success Manager, who has attended our offices to bring us up to speed on new features and ensure we are making the most of the software. His hands-on support and commitment to client success are greatly appreciated. We would have no hesitation in recommending LEAP Legal Software to other legal professionals.

### "Leap Experience"

February 23, 2026

4.0

It has been decent and average. They do have good responsive customer service and agents and it has gotten better since they first launched in Canada as we were an early adopter. Bug fixes are continuing to improve. The original PCL transition process was costly as we had 30 years of data to port over.

Pros

I like the efficiency of having all emails stored to file automatically and all files for all practices and the accounting across the firm under one platform. AI is helpful to find emails.

Cons

The cost of the service and all the ancillary software that is needed for it to operate (Quick books, Microsoft 365, Adobe pro etc). It really drives up your monthly technology costs. Also, the fact that the Wills platform and conveyancing platform (Closer) is yet an additional per file cost and it was not sold that way to me originally. I was told originally it could be used for both as part of the LEAP platform.

### "Intuitive & Efficient Practice Management System "

March 11, 2026

5.0

Overall, our experience has been positive. The product works well and supports the day to day needs of our practice effectively. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been an incredible support to our team. She is always responsive, knowledgeable and willing to assist whenever needed. Her guidance and willingness to help have made a real difference in ensuring we get the most out of the system and that any questions or issues are addressed promptly.

Pros

LEAP is intuitive and user-friendly which allows our lawyers to become familiar with the system quickly. Its clear layout, logical workflows and integrated tools make it easy to navigate, locate information and complete everyday tasks such as managing matters, sending emails, saving documents and recording time. As a result, new team members are able to hit the ground running, maintain productivity from the outset and focus their time on delivering quality legal services rather than learning complex software. The recent inclusion of Ruffle and Matter AI has further enhanced LEAP, making content generation significantly more efficient saving our team valuable time.

Cons

The reporting functionality provides a range of useful data and insights that assist with monitoring matters and financial performance. However, to obtain the specific insights we require, we often run two or three separate reports and combine the information. It would be great to have the ability to custom build reports based on the fields that already exist in Leap.

### "A Smart All-In-One Solution for Modern Law Firms"

March 11, 2026

4.0

LEAP is a comprehensive, well-rounded practice management platform that covers pretty much everything a law firm needs; from case and document management to billing, automation, and client verification. The support team is genuinely helpful and having a dedicated person to turn to makes a real difference. Yes, the price is on the higher end, but for what it offers, it's a worthwhile investment for any firm looking to streamline how they work. It also includes DivorceMate for the family lawyers so you don't need to spend more getting a separate licence.

Pros

LEAP really shines when it comes to keeping your practice organised. Document management and client/case management are both really solid, and the AI and automation features genuinely save you time on the day-to-day stuff. The IDV tools make verifying clients remotely quick and easy, which is a nice touch. The billing side is well covered too! Trust accounting and other financial features are all built in, so you're not juggling multiple systems. On top of that, you get a designated support person who's always on hand to help with any issues or walk you through features you're not sure about. Tech support has been great overall.

Cons

It's not the cheapest option out there, but honestly you do get what you pay for. The only real gripe is that it can lag or slow down occasionally, which can be a little frustrating when you're in the middle of something.

Leap software is great. It is good to have all mattes, data etc stored in one place, where all staff can access and see what is happening.

Pros

User friendly, easy to navigate, good search functionality and client management. The compare documents and Law Y functions are of great assistance.

Cons

In trust accounting that Leap reconciles by entry date not transaction date. This is illogical. Not being able to tailor the trust and settlement statements easily to send to clients. Clients don't' need (or necessarily want) to see when we entered the data etc. Sometimes the linking with Microsoft cuts out and emails don't always save, so you need to re-do it, sometimes more than once.

### "Solid program and fantastic customer service! "

March 18, 2026

5.0

Overall, we are quite happy with LEAP. I think the program is much more solid than our prior program. It is stressful making a change and it takes time to be comfortable with a billing program but I am happy our firm chose LEAP. The customer service is amazing. If you end up with \[sensitive content hidden\] as your rep, you are in luck!

Pros

Love how easy it is to locate a file number for both active and closed cases. Emailing invoices is a great feature we didn't previously have. Customer support via having a direct client success manager to reach out to is critical. We have had a few over the past few years but they are all good. Current rep is \[sensitive content hidden\] and he is a keeper! Pro and con is there are about 3-5 ways you can do the same thing (so you need to pick the way the suits you best). That is also a con because it can be difficult to remember what you did previously unless it is something you do often. Nice that LEAP integrates an online payment system (Fee Wise) with QR codes on invoices. Love how easy it is to correct invoices. I probably should have moved this up on the list! VERY efficient. This used to take me a full day and now it is a few hours. Data migration from PCLaw to LEAP was relatively seemless. LEAP invests the time necessary to train new users. I was happy with the training and having a rep to reach out to was so helpful and gave me peace of mind. Our rep actually walked me through bills for the first few months.

Cons

The conflict search feature is flawed. It only pulls actual opened clients so unless a client has retained you and you open a file OR create a card for someone, they will not appear in your conflict search. Odd because this is one of few programs designed specifically for law firms. LEAP works in batches so each attorney has its own batch. For us, because we have several attys, it takes a substantial amount of time to generate and after a few years, I still have a cheat sheet / checklist I go through when completing bills. Had to learn to use not only LEAP but also purchase and learn QBO (which is not user friendly at all). Time consuming with monthly reimbursement checks for attorneys who say purchase a supply and have mileage related to a client - that requires two different checks. LEAP check for matter related reimbursement and QBO check for "other" reimbursement. Late fee / overdue invoices are terrible. LEAP generates one late fee invoice for each overdue invoice so our clients that are making small payments over the course of years may have 12 invoices generated in one month. It is absurd / time consuming. There is also no feature you can select to exclude an invoice (we have about 100 court appointments that we have to bill at the end of the case - federal criminal cases). To exclude these from billing, I have to manaully uncheck the invoices.

### "Happy attorney who completed multiple demos with other programs and chose LEAP"

March 19, 2026

5.0

I am really happy with it and even though there are some challenges. I still have not found another program that does all of the things LEAP does for the value and the customer service.

Pros

It is a comprehensive case management system that does so much and it is all part of the program. I don't have to add on extras. I have real people providing training for me instead of being directed to watch You Tube videos for onboarding. I can speak with my contact anytime and they can go over my questions. I really like LawY and the Matter AI features too that are included.

Cons

No CRM, no way to have client portals like other programs, no dashboard feature, not cloud based so I cannot log into it from different computers.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing LEAP

LEAP was set up to the matters in my jurisdiction and included immigration forms since I work on some state law issues and immigration.

### "Would and have recommended LEAP to colleagues"

February 24, 2026

5.0

Would recommend and have recommended to colleagues. The software allows for working smarter allowing for greater daily productivity. I would not go back to our old Legal software system after using LEAP.

Pros

Leap is an easy to use Legal Software package. The system is easy to navigate and user friendly. The AI technology is impressive and improving all the time. Document management is easy and it is easy to share work both internally and externally making client management and staff management easy and clear in each file.

Cons

The only feature that could be improved is the easier integration of phone messages into the file. In order to bring the phone messages in they can be converted to a PDF which can be time consuming.

### "Good product with good price"

March 5, 2026

5.0

Very good. All in one software for a good price. I am using it daily for my law practice and all day I am on LEAP.

Pros

It is comprehensive, offering lots of features including practice management, accounting and document preparation. I am also using LEAP AI a lot. Conflict check is also very helpful.

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult to deal with settings and find the correct form, journal or feature. I have been using this software since its first day in Canada and still I do not know some of the features. But, there are lots of articles on the web about LEAP and customer support is responsive.

### "LEAP - A Comprehensive Solution for Real Estate Law and Beyond"

March 17, 2026

5.0

Overall, we are truly pleased with LEAP. We are constantly seeing growth and new programs being added that are making our practice run smoother and in turn, allowing us to service clients to our absolute best ability without getting bogged down with the admin side of things.

Pros

As a real estate clerk, I find that LEAP Legal Software, along with its integration with conveyancing software, keeps my workflow clean and straightforward. I can open a matter in LEAP and use it to send emails, draft letters, open a matter in Closer, and manage the accounting side of things—all without duplicating work. This is not only a significant time-saver but also crucial in avoiding typos that can lead to simple yet costly mistakes. LEAP allows us to save all emails, client documents, and correspondence directly to the matter. This makes it easy to access everything whether working in the office, remotely, or on the go via their mobile app. It also provides a secure way to share sensitive information by creating upload folders, which is much safer and more efficient than sending documents via email. Another feature worth highlighting is LEAP’s AI integration, which can review an entire matter and assist with tasks such as drafting letters or creating specific signing documents. Lastly, LEAP places a strong emphasis on client relationships. They regularly host workshops and presentations that are relevant to the current market, informative, and genuinely enjoyable to attend.

Cons

My only critique at this time is that, due to the size of the program, the startup can take a little bit of time (albeit only minutes) or some of the plugins in MS Office Suite can contribute to slower run time. That said, there is the option to access the program swiftly via the browser if something is immediately needed.

I have been using Leap for the past 20 years and really love it and I am really excited about future directions.

Pros

I find it invaluable in managing the client information and the overall file for each matter. I find that the Help Team are pretty responsive when we do have occasional issues.

Cons

Some data entry can be a little clunky but that is vastly improving. The reports for firm management are not always useful and can be hard to navigate.

### "Leap is true to their motto 'all you need to run a law firm'"

March 24, 2026

5.0

Leap has managed to reduce a number of different systems we had to use in the past. This made running the firm more efficiently by not only providing seamless communication between different systems but also time saving. We like the centralized document management where we don't need a third-party document storage solution. Accounting is another feature that made all communication between departments and the accounting team transparency.

Pros

Cloud access, centralized document management, accounting, choice of integration with other key systems, AI

Cons

Access to/contacting Customer support, lack of proper lead management, task management, limitation for Mac OS.

### "Excellent all-in-one practice management solution"

April 8, 2026

4.0

I have found LEAP to be an excellent all-in-one practice management solution, integrating accounting, docketing, email, and document management into a single platform. As a sole practitioner, it significantly enhances efficiency and organization, functioning as a reliable support system in my daily practice. Its value is maximized when used as a comprehensive practice management tool, rather than solely for billing purposes. Its DivorceMate integration and AI features is particularly impressive, offering powerful tools that have resulted in meaningful time and cost savings.

Pros

The fact that its an all-in-one system. It handles everything from accounting to document management, which makes running a sole practice much more efficient.

Cons

One limitation is that the Leap is best experienced on a wide screen, as accessing all features on a smaller display can be less convenient.
