Product
The whole practice, from the first enquiry to the closed file
Every area of a firm's work in four groups, each built for the way a Ghanaian firm runs it. Every page says what is in the product today and what is still being built, with no dates promised for the second.
Run your practice
Matters, the diary, tasks, documents and the people on them.
Matters
The client is checked, the conflict is decided and the file is set up before anyone records an hour on it, and it closes only when nothing is left owing or held.

Contacts and conflicts
Clients, opposing parties, witnesses and other firms live in one register, so a conflict check sees every one of them and a decision is kept with the file for good.
6 in the productRead more
Calendar and deadlines
The firm keeps its own rules for counting time, the system suggests every date those rules produce, and a reminder nobody answers climbs to the partner.

Tasks and workflows
Each type of matter can start with its own workflow, so the steps a conveyance or a suit always needs are on the file with owners and due days from the day it opens.

Documents
Documents are filed on the matter they belong to, scanned before anyone can open them, versioned rather than overwritten, and signed without leaving Docavra.

Track your money
Time, bills, payments taken online, the books and the figures.
Time and billing
Time is recorded as the work happens and valued at once from the right rate, disbursements post to the books as they are paid, and every matter knows how it is charged.

Online payments
Bills, money on account and client money are paid by mobile money or card through the firm's own provider accounts, and every payment waits to be confirmed before it reaches the books.

Accounts and client money
Every money event posts through one set of rules into a double entry ledger the database itself protects: nothing posted is ever changed, and client money never meets office money.

Reports
Fees billed and collected, work in progress, what clients owe, utilisation and realisation, each figure opening the bills and time entries it was worked from.

Serve your clients
Where clients come in, sign, pay and see how their matter stands.
Client portal
The client's people sign in with their own password and a code, and see a document, a date or a bill only when someone at the firm chose to share it.

Intake and forms
An enquiry is taken in, owned, checked for conflicts and answered on a clock, and the firm's own forms bring the facts in from the client's side.

Email and messages
Each person's own Google or Microsoft mailbox is read and sent from inside Docavra, mail to a matter's own address is filed on it, and notices go out in the firm's own words.

E-signature
Signing happens inside Docavra: signatories sign in the order set, need no account, and the signed version comes back onto the matter with a certificate of what each did.

Court and compliance
Suits before the courts, the law the firm answers to, and land.
Court work
Each suit keeps its forum, its bench and every sitting, with filings, service, orders and judgments recorded against it, and the court diary reads from the same record.

KYC and AML
The firm decides what it must hold for each kind of client, the system says what is missing and when a review falls due, and the compliance officer confirms the risk band.
4 in the productRead more
Conveyancing
Sales, leases, mortgages and gifts of land run as one transaction on the matter, with searches, requisitions, deeds, stamping and completion in order, and each property kept beyond its matters.
6 in the productRead more
Compliance
Access follows permissions the firm grants, walls hide what a person must not see, and every view and change is written to a trail no one can edit.
