How AI is used

Actionstep is a cloud-based platform designed for the administrative and legal operations of midsize law firms. It combines practice management with legal accounting, allowing firms to manage client matters, billing, and financial reporting in one place.

The software supports midsize firms across various practice areas, including family, real estate, and immigration law. It provides core tools for matter management and client intake, as well as an optional Legal Accounting suite for financial control.

Buyers can use AI features for tasks such as time capture and client intake, and an optional 'Builder' module for automating legal document assembly. The platform is designed to be adaptable, allowing firms to configure workflows to match their specific operational processes.
