Instead of Xakia

Stop paying Xakia per lawyer. Own your legal team system.

We build your version around how your legal team takes work from the business, tracks matters and reports to the board. We bring your Xakia matter and contract registers across and run it for you.

Xakia lists Advance at US$100, Professional at US$125, Enterprise at US$155 and All-In at US$230 per user per month. Ten people on Enterprise is US$18,600 a year.

What the per-user price is paying for

Xakia is priced per user, per month, in tiers. Count who needs a seat and which tier holds the features you actually use.

group

Every lawyer is a seat

Pricing is per user per month, so the bill grows each time the team grows, paralegals included.

stairs

The useful parts sit higher up

Calendar views for managers, document automation and complex intake start at Professional. Contract approval workflows and entity management start at Enterprise.

auto_awesome

Smart features cost extra below Enterprise

Contract review, summaries and smart search are an add-on at US$50 per user per month on Advance and US$30 on Professional, with usage caps.

all_inclusive

No caps costs the top tier

All-In at US$230 per user per month removes the usage caps. Enterprise at US$155 includes the features with caps applied.

badge

Business users need their own licence

Giving non-legal staff access to contracts and the company register is a separate flat-rate annual add-on, priced by team size.

move_up

Moving in or out is a project

Onboarding and data migration are a one-off fee on top. Dashboards download as PDF, and the pricing page lists API access for getting records out.

The system you own

Start from the work your team does every week

Intake

Know what the business is waiting on

Every request lands in one list with who asked, which business unit and how long it has waited.

  • check Requests past your own triage time, oldest first
  • check Accept, decline with a reason, or turn into a matter in one step
  • check Days to triage by business unit, not just a count
  • check The declined reasons the business actually reads

Matters and dates

Never miss the date that cannot move

Court, regulator and limitation dates sit on the matter, and a matter cannot be closed while one is still open.

  • check Limitation and regulator dates in the next 60 days
  • check Open matters with no next step, or one already overdue
  • check Matters nobody has touched in three weeks
  • check High-risk work per lawyer, so overload shows early

Contracts and companies

Catch the renewal before it rolls

Each contract carries its end date and notice period, so the last day to give notice is worked out for you.

  • check Auto-renewing contracts reaching their notice day with no decision
  • check The renewal decision recorded against the contract
  • check New Zealand annual returns and Australian annual reviews for every company in the group
  • check A draft notice letter ready for review

Spend and reporting

Show the board what legal costs and why

Law firm invoices sit against each matter budget, and every number in the board report comes from the same records.

  • check Each firm against the matter budget, disputed invoices kept apart
  • check Outside counsel cost by business unit over 12 months
  • check Practising certificate dates and CPD hours for each lawyer
  • check A board report drafted from the records, not retyped

Switching

How to switch from Xakia

The move involves getting your matter and contract registers out, mapping their fields, testing the import and checking the new records before you switch over.

  1. 1

    Export your registers

    Start with your matter and contract registers, including the open matters, key dates and renewal details you need to keep working. Export what your Xakia account allows, usually CSV or Excel, and check with Xakia if you cannot find a register export. Xakia documents dashboard downloads as PDFs and API access on every plan. Your documents can stay where they are, with each imported record pointing to them.

  2. 2

    Load a test run

    Have the registers loaded into the new database with the columns matched to the records it uses. Start with a test run before loading the records for real. The import is designed for a matter or contract register spreadsheet, so gather those registers first. If Enterprise DNA is running the system for you, they handle this setup and mapping as part of the move.

  3. 3

    Review the import results

    Check what the test run flags, then review the record counts with whoever is responsible for the move. Look at the matter and contract records that matter most to your team, including upcoming dates and renewals, and confirm the imported details make sense. Resolve mapping issues or missing information before treating the new database as your working record.

  4. 4

    Run both side by side

    Keep Xakia available for a short overlap while you check the new database against the records your team relies on. Compare open matters, important dates and contract renewals, and make sure the team knows where new updates should be recorded so information does not split between systems. Use the overlap to catch issues before you stop relying on Xakia.

  5. 5

    Switch off Xakia

    Once you have checked the counts and confirmed the records your team needs are present and usable, move your team to the new system. Follow your organisation's requirements for retaining legal records and decide whether you need continued access to Xakia before ending it. Keep the exported registers and any other material your team needs under your own retention and access rules.

construction

Where the real effort goes

The main work is usually mapping your own fields, matter types and rules, then deciding how much history to bring across. A clean register is easier to map than records with inconsistent fields or incomplete details. When Enterprise DNA installs and runs the system for you, they handle the mapping and test import with you, including checking the record counts before the switch.

Questions

Instead of Xakia, answered

Our lawyers are not technical. Who uses this day to day? expand_more

They ask questions in plain English, the same way they would ask a paralegal: what is due this week, which contracts renew next quarter, draft the board report. In the version we run for you, nobody touches the setup. We look after it.

Is privileged material safe? expand_more

Your records sit in a database you own, under your own access rules, not on a shared vendor platform. Nothing is sent anywhere without someone on your team approving it. We set up access and backups to match your privacy and privilege obligations.

How do our Xakia records come across? expand_more

Xakia lists dashboard downloads and API access on every plan. We pull your matter and contract registers, map the columns, run a test import and check the counts with you before anything is switched off. Documents stay where they are and each record points to them.

Xakia gives the business a portal to lodge requests. What replaces that? expand_more

The free version records requests from email or a message. In your version we add a short request form or an inbox that files requests straight into the database, so the business keeps one simple way to ask.

What does it cost compared with Xakia? expand_more

The free version has no per-user charge. Our version is a one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, sized to what your team needs. Bring your Xakia invoice and seat count to the call and we will compare them honestly.

Bring your Xakia invoice to Sam

Spend 30 minutes with Sam. Bring your Xakia invoice, your seat count and the report your general counsel sends the board. We will show what moves across, what we build and what it takes to run your version.
