Legal tech development
Turning a service a firm already sells into something a client can buy, fill in and track online — single-purpose products rather than another page on the firm's website.

01
The firms that win online are not the ones with the best website. They are the ones that put one service on its own address and price it.
A named procedure with a fixed price and a form converts. The same service described in a paragraph halfway down a practice-area page does not.
02
What actually gets built
Single-purpose product sites
One service, one address, one price, one form. Built to be found by someone searching for the thing by name rather than for a law firm.
Client portals and case status
Where a client can see what stage their matter is at without emailing to ask — usually the cheapest support cost a firm can buy.
Document generation
Statements, contracts and attestations produced from entered data rather than from last month's template, with the firm's own wording preserved.
Intake that qualifies
The questions that decide whether a matter is worth taking, asked before it reaches a fee earner rather than in the first call.
03
How the work runs
You describe it
Two sentences is enough to start. What you are building, who it is for, and which rule or buyer is forcing the shape of it.
A scope and a price, inside 24 hours
What is in, what is deliberately out, what each stage costs and what it depends on. Where a regulator or a procurement process sets the timeline, that goes in the plan rather than being discovered in week six.
Built in the open
Your repository from the first commit, deployed somewhere you can see it from the first week.
Handed over properly
Your accounts, your keys, your infrastructure, and a README that assumes the reader is not me.

Have a service that would sell on its own address? That is the pattern that works in this sector, and it is a small build. Describe the service and you get a scope and a price back.

Who this has been done for
Kapitalgodkendelse
A capital-approval service for Albrechtsen Law, a Copenhagen firm: cash share capital confirmed by a lawyer at formation and at capital increases, sold at a fixed price on its own address.
Ejerbogsattest
A second service for the same firm, in the same pattern: a lawyer-signed statement confirming a company's ownership register and beneficial owners, for use with banks.
Both are live, both are the firm's own, and both are reachable above — that is the proof, not a logo.
Common questions
Do you write the legal copy?
No. The firm writes anything that is legal content or advice, and that is not a limitation to work around — it is the only correct arrangement. What gets built is the structure, the intake, the pricing, the document generation and everything around the words.
Who owns the site and the code afterwards?
The firm does, under its own accounts, and it is worth putting in writing before work starts. There is a fuller answer on code ownership.
Can it integrate with our practice management system?
Often, and the honest answer depends entirely on what that system exposes: an API, a scheduled export, or nothing at all. That is worth a day of reading before anyone quotes a price on it.

Tell me which service to put online
Name the service and what the client has to provide. You get back a scope, a price and how the intake should be shaped.
