Leanlaw

LeanLaw is a purpose-built legal billing and financial operations platform for small-to-mid-sized law firms (2-50 attorneys). Core capabilities: time tracking with automatic time capture, legal billing (hourly, flat-fee, contingency, AFA), trust/IOLTA accounting with compliance reporting, accounts receivable management, and firm analytics/KPI dashboards. Key differentiator: deepest QuickBooks Online integration in legal tech — billing, trust accounting, and firm financials sync bidirectionally with QBO so firms don’t need separate accounting software. Founded 2015 (Boise, ID). ~27 employees, 2,723 LinkedIn followers. Pricing ~$200-400/attorney/month (from vendor blog). Capterra reviews positive, G2 listed. Reddit: consistently recommended in r/LawFirm billing threads — ‘one of the best in the field’, ‘if all you need is billing and back end accounting you should try it out’. Competes with TimeSolv, Clio Manage, CosmoLex, Smokeball. Not a practice management tool — billing-only by design. Supports shadow billing (track hourly in background while charging flat fees) for firms transitioning to AFAs.
