Practice Management for UK Solicitors & Barristers
Barristr brings modern, AI-powered practice management to UK legal professionals. Matter management, legal billing with VAT handling, court deadline tracking for England & Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland courts, and AI document drafting — all in one platform from $49/month. SRA compliance built in.
SRA Accounts Rules Compliance
The Solicitors Regulation Authority requires strict separation of client money from office money, with detailed record-keeping and regular reconciliation. Barristr’s client account module is designed for SRA compliance: separate client ledgers with real-time balances, automated office-to-client transfers, monthly reconciliation workflows, and one-click generation of the reports your compliance officer needs. Whether you are a sole practitioner or a multi-partner firm, Barristr handles the complexity of SRA accounts rules so you can focus on practicing law.
- Separate client and office account ledgers with real-time balances
- Automated monthly reconciliation per SRA Accounts Rules 2019
- One-click compliance reports for SRA spot checks and audits
- Residual balance alerts — never hold client money without instructions
Court Deadline Tracking for UK Courts
Missing a court deadline leads to sanctions, costs orders, or struck-out claims. The Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) for England and Wales, the Court of Session rules for Scotland, and Northern Ireland court rules each have distinct timelines for responses, disclosure, and trial preparation. Barristr tracks jurisdiction-specific deadlines, calculates service dates accounting for bank holidays and court vacation periods, and sends cascade reminders to ensure nothing slips through.
- CPR-compliant deadline calculation for England & Wales
- Bank holiday and court vacation adjustments
- Support for County Court, High Court, and Tribunal deadlines
- Cascade notifications: 28, 14, 7, and 2 days before each deadline
Legal Billing with VAT Handling
UK solicitors must issue VAT-compliant invoices distinguishing between profit costs, disbursements (VAT-able and non-VAT-able), and expenses. Barristr handles the complexity automatically: standard-rated work at 20%, zero-rated disbursements like court fees, and proper VAT treatment of counsel fees. Generate HMRC-compliant VAT invoices, track input and output VAT, and export data for your quarterly VAT return — all without manual calculation.
- Automatic VAT calculation on profit costs and disbursements
- Proper treatment of zero-rated court fees and VAT-able counsel fees
- HMRC-compliant VAT invoices generated automatically
- VAT return data export for Making Tax Digital
GDPR & Data Protection Built In
UK solicitors handle sensitive client data subject to UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Barristr is built with data protection by design: data retention policies per matter type, automated right-to-erasure workflows, data processing records for your Article 30 register, and encryption at rest and in transit. Your data is stored securely with full audit trail of who accessed what and when.
- Configurable data retention policies per matter type
- Right-to-erasure workflow with audit trail
