Instead of Infinitylaw
Leaving Infinitylaw? Move once, into a system you own.
Enterprise DNA builds your version around your matter types, your file opening checks and how you bill, maps your Infinitylaw records across, and runs it for you. This time the move ends in your own database, not another subscription.
Infinitylaw publishes no price. Its links to other services such as research, forms and searches are subject to their own subscriptions.

Where the money goes
What an Infinitylaw subscription pays for
Your client list and your matter history belong to your firm. What you keep paying for is the system around them, and a roadmap that is now set by LEAP.
A price it does not publish
There is no pricing page. The website gives no figures, so comparing it with anything starts with asking the vendor.
Connections that cost extra
Research, forms and precedents, searches and settlements come through linked services, and the site says access to those other solutions is subject to subscription.
A vendor with a second product to sell you
Infinitylaw is now a LEAP company, and LEAP's New Zealand site runs a page inviting Infinitylaw firms to switch to LEAP, with the move done by its own developers.
A future you do not get a say in
An industry article said plans to take Infinitylaw to the cloud and open an API were unclear, and that firms were left wondering about its expiry date.
Reports chosen by someone else
The report library covers time efficiency and fee management. Any question it was not built for goes back to the vendor, a partner or a spreadsheet.
Marketing and CRM bundled in
Campaign tools, email templates and client event planning sit inside the same subscription, whether or not your firm ever sends a campaign.
What you get instead
A practice system that answers to your firm
Due dates
Nothing that matters slips past quietly
Limitation periods, settlements, filings, hearings and undertakings in one countdown, with the riskiest at the top every morning.
- check Limitation dates outrank everything else on the list
- check Undertakings kept word for word, with who gave them and who holds them
- check Settlement days counted down beside the matter they belong to
- check A file cannot be closed while it still has an undertaking open
New files
Every new client checked against the whole history
One name runs against every client, other party and matter on record, open or closed, before the file opens.
- check A new matter is stopped when someone on the other side matches an old file
- check Engagement letter, scope, fee information and identity checks tracked on each file
- check Every check names the conduct rule or Act it comes from
- check No bill goes out on a file without an engagement letter
Fees
Any question about the money, not only the stock reports
Time recorded the way people say it, bills drafted from the time ledger, and answers to questions no report library was built for.
- check Work in progress per file, with the oldest unbilled time flagged
- check Lock-up by client: unbilled time plus bills still unpaid
- check Each fee earner's real recovery after write-offs
- check A warning before a matter runs past the client's estimate
Ownership
Your records stay put while vendors change
Plain records in a database your firm controls, on one laptop for a sole practitioner or shared across the whole firm.
- check No forced move when a product is sold or retired
- check Every closed file readable for as long as you keep it
- check Fields, matter types and rules renamed in your firm's words
- check Open source under the MIT licence

Switching
How to switch from Infinitylaw
The move is mainly an export, field mapping and test pass, followed by a short period of checking Matters alongside Infinitylaw before you stop using it.
- 1
Request your exports
While your Infinitylaw subscription is live, use its reports and ask Infinitylaw support for client, matter and time exports. Export what your account allows, and check with Infinitylaw about the available options. Include the records you need to bring across, and decide which history matters to your firm before you start.
- 2
Load a test import
Map Infinitylaw’s columns to the fields Matters expects, then run the importer’s test before saving anything. The free importer was written for another vendor’s export, so Infinitylaw’s columns need mapping on the way in. If Enterprise DNA is running the move for you, they do that mapping. Review the test output before loading the records.
- 3
Review flagged records
Check what the test says will arrive and resolve any mapping issues before saving the import. Imported clients have no customer due diligence date and imported matters have an empty client care file by design, so review the compliance list and backfill what is needed. Enter key dates and undertakings in a deliberate manual pass because importing them incorrectly could have serious consequences.
- 4
Run both systems
Keep Infinitylaw available while you use Matters for a short period. Check that the clients, matters and time records you expect are present, and confirm that current work is being recorded in the right place. Use the overlap to find missing records or changes to your field mapping before you rely on Matters as your working system.
- 5
Switch off Infinitylaw
Once you have checked the imported records, resolved the test and import issues, and confirmed your team can work from Matters, make Matters your working system and switch off Infinitylaw. Do not stop using Infinitylaw while you still need it to check records or complete the migration.
Where the real effort goes
The real work is usually mapping your own fields and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. Infinitylaw’s columns need mapping, and key dates and undertakings are entered by hand rather than trusted to an import. If you have Enterprise DNA run the move, they handle the mapping and test pass with you.

Questions
Instead of Infinitylaw, answered
LEAP is offering to move us across. Why not just take that? expand_more
You can. It moves your records from one LEAP subscription to another, with the vendor still deciding the roadmap. Owning your own system means the next change of ownership, product or price does not decide where your firm's records live.
How do we get our records out of Infinitylaw? expand_more
We could not find a public export guide, so start with its reports and ask Infinitylaw support for client, matter and time exports while your subscription is live. The free version's importer was written for another vendor's export, so Infinitylaw's columns need mapping on the way in. Enterprise DNA does that mapping, and a test run shows what would arrive before anything is saved.
What about our trust account? expand_more
The free version deliberately keeps no trust ledger. Trust money belongs in a dedicated, audited trust accounting system. This records everything around it: matters, time, bills, dates and undertakings. When we build your version, we connect it to whichever trust system your firm uses.
We use PEXA, InfoTrack and Softdocs through Infinitylaw. Do we lose them? expand_more
Those services keep working on their own accounts. The free version does not connect to them out of the box. Connecting the ones your firm relies on is part of what we scope when we build your version.
Is the compliance checking legal advice? expand_more
No. It checks your own records against a written list of rules, each with its source, and names the files that are missing something. The rules ship with New Zealand sources, an Australian firm can change the rules to match its own, and your judgement stays in charge.
If you are going to move, move once
30 minutes with Sam. We look at what your firm pays for Infinitylaw, which parts your people use every day, and what your own version would look like. If it is a fit, we build it and run it. If it is not, take the free version and run it yourself.
