What SpineLegal is
SpineLegal is a paid, web-based legal practice management platform from SpineLegal, a London maker founded in 2016. It is designed for law firms ranging from sole practitioners and new firms to larger practices. The system connects matter stages, deadlines, documents, time recording, tasks and client communications within one matter file. It also combines billing, compliance, AI workflows and drafting. Built-in AI can prepare legal documents, identify contract risks and summarize case files in multiple languages. Lawyer approval is required before AI actions are released, while the maker says client data is not used for training and actions are traceable in an audit trail. SpineLegal runs in a browser on desktop, tablet or phone without installation. Listed integrations include Microsoft 365, Xero, Stripe, DocuSign, HMRC, Land Registry, Thirdfort and OpenAI ChatGPT. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure, with regional storage, portability and disaster recovery. Plans start from £159/mo billed annually, with a 14-day trial; there is no free plan.
