For Family Law
Case Management Designed for Family Law
Family law matters are deeply personal and document-heavy. Barristr gives family law attorneys a structured workspace — one matter per case, organized document folders, time tracking that flows into invoicing, and role-based access to keep sensitive files restricted to the right people.
Access Controls for Sensitive Matters
Family law cases involve highly sensitive materials — financial records, medical reports, and communications about children. Barristr lets you restrict sensitive matters to specific users and roles. Staff members can be limited to certain matters without affecting their ability to work on other cases. Documents are organized in a Client > Matter folder hierarchy, and the 60-day Recovery Bin prevents accidental data loss.
- Matter-level permissions to restrict who can view sensitive cases
- 6 role-based access levels (Partner, Associate, Support Staff, Admin HR, IT Admin, Secretary)
- Client > Matter document hierarchy with version history
- Recovery Bin with 60-day retention to prevent accidental data loss
Document Management & AI Drafting
Family law cases generate volumes of documents — financial disclosures, custody agreements, court filings, and correspondence. Barristr organizes all files in a Client > Matter folder hierarchy with version history, so you can always find the latest draft and restore earlier versions when needed. AI drafting helps generate first drafts of correspondence, legal memoranda, and settlement proposals using your matter context. Every AI output is marked as a draft requiring your review.
- Upload via drag-and-drop, file browser, or folder upload
- Full version history with the ability to restore earlier drafts
- AI drafting for correspondence, memoranda, and settlement proposals
- Global search to find any document across all matters instantly
Calendar & Deadline Tracking
Family law cases run on court-imposed timelines — filing deadlines, hearing dates, mediation sessions, and discovery cutoffs. Barristr's calendar tracks every event with 6 color-coded types: Hearing, Deadline, Meeting, Consultation, Filing, and Other. View by Day, Week, Month, or Agenda. Link events to specific matters so nothing gets lost across your caseload.

Time Tracking & Billing
Track every billable minute with a persistent timer or manual entry. When it's time to invoice, generate invoices directly from unbilled time entries with one click. Barristr supports multi-currency invoicing, automatic payment reminders, and aging reports so you can see outstanding balances at a glance. Invoices are generated as bilingual PDFs ready to send.
- Persistent timer visible on every page — survives navigation and refresh
- One-click invoice generation from unbilled time entries
- Aging reports grouped by 0–30, 31–60, 61–90, and 90+ day buckets
