Do I need a practice management system to use Acquit?

No. Acquit stands on its own, whether you run LEAP, Smokeball, Clio or nothing at all. Your files, billing and trust accounting stay wherever they are now.

Can I import my clients?

Yes. Export from anything that makes a CSV and the import wizard does the rest. It flags duplicates against matters your colleagues already run. Most lists are in within ten minutes.

Is Acquit only for Queensland?

Yes, on purpose. The lists it reads, the forms it fills and the benchbooks it indexes are all Queensland's. That focus is the reason it works.

How does the trial work?

14 days, and it's the full product. Every feature included from day one. Cancel anytime.

Is client data secure?

Every account uses two-factor authentication, and your firm controls who can access each matter.

Court dates added to calendar automatically

Never miss a court date again

You find out the moment a client is listed, at any Queensland court, including the ones you forgot or who have come back again.

Every appearance, on the record

Court dates, outcomes and next steps stay on the matter. Open the file and the history is already there.

Know who's sitting

Who's at which court, updated daily from published law lists and draft lists. Walk in knowing the bench.

Your diary, always in sync

Court dates flow to your calendar on their own. When something changes, the diary is never left behind.

Network

A profession that works together. Post an agency and a local lawyer covers it, with the outcome and next dates saved to the file. Confirmed in Acquit, not a group chat.

Seamless coordination

Requests are posted to the marketplace and intelligently routed to available lawyers. Standardised instructions, structured reporting, and full tracking, from request to outcome.

The outcome comes back to the file

After the appearance, the outcome report lands on the matter, with follow-ups automatically flagged. Nothing to chase.

Messaging, built in

Direct messages and group chats, inside Acquit. Bring the groups you already know, voice notes and all. One less app open all day.

Legal work

Everything from charge to document. Upload a QP9 and the charges are stored, matched to the GOAT tool, and ready to fill the document you need. Task management keeps you organised and ahead.
