The product

Firm Manager is the product. Everything else attaches to a case.

Open a case and the client, the hearings, the file, the drafts, the messages, and the fee memo are already on it. Nothing lives in a separate app your team has to remember to check.

Nine surfaces, one case

01FilesThe file of the case, in the case.Orders, petitions, client letters, and notes for one case are kept with that case. Not a folder on somebody's drive that only they can find.02BriefAsk a question on a file. Get the page.Put a plain question to a long PDF and Tulip answers with the page it read the answer from, so you can check it before you rely on it.03DraftsThe first version, from the file.Prepare a notice, a petition, or a client update out of what is already on the case. A person reads it and signs it off before it leaves the law firm.04CourtToday's cause list, on your cases.Cause lists and orders from the courts we have actually wired, matched to the cases your firm is on. Courts are added one at a time.05LibraryActs and judgments beside the draft.The law your team keeps going back to, kept next to the note being written rather than in a browser tab that gets closed.06SignA link the client opens on the phone.Send a document out to be signed, get it back signed, and keep the trail on the case. Your client does not install anything.07MessagesWhat the client was actually told.WhatsApp, email, and notes from a call, kept against the case so the next person who opens it can see what was said and when.08BillingRaise the fee memo where the work happened.The fee memo sits on the case, then goes through to Tally or Zoho. Your accounts team carries on working the way they do now.09SearchSomeone looks you up, and it becomes a case.A person checking a case on tulip.legal can send an enquiry to your law firm, and your firm decides whether to take it in.

One case

Open MAT / 2041. It is all there.

The next hearing, the last order, what the client was told, the draft waiting for sign-off, and the fee memo that has not been raised yet. One screen instead of four people remembering four things.

Brief · Ask the fileExample
What did the court say about the deposit last time?
Answerfrom page 11

The court recorded that the amount was to be deposited before the next date, and kept the question of interest open.

Every answer names the page. If Tulip cannot find it in the file, it says so instead of guessing.

Files

Ask the file a question. Get the page.

A thirty-page order, a plain question, and an answer that names the page it came from so you can check it before you rely on it. If the answer is not in the file, Tulip says so rather than filling the gap.

Read about questions on a file

Built inside a working law firm

Twenty years of files, put back together.

Where your data sits

Cases

Recovered from registers, drives, and old software, then checked against the source.

Years

The oldest files are the ones that matter most, so they were not left behind.

Owner

Your firm

Your own database, no shared tenancy, no training on your files, and a full export whenever you ask.

Courts

We add courts one at a time.

Every court publishes differently. A bench paper here, a page there, a plain feed somewhere else. Each one is read the way that court actually works, and checked before it goes live for your firm.

eCourts does not carry RERA, the appellate tribunal, or the consumer commissions. Any firm whose practice sits there is fed by separate sources, or by hand. If your court is not on this list, we will tell you before you buy rather than after.

How a setup runs

Understand. Recover. Verify. Deploy.

We do not hand over a login and wish you luck. We learn how your law firm works, bring the old record back together, check it, and set it up on your computers.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We sit with the people who run the law firm and watch how a case actually moves, from the first call to the last order.

  2. 02

    Recover

    Old registers, spreadsheets, drives, and paper files are brought back together into one record instead of six.

  3. 03

    Verify

    Names, dates, and case numbers are checked against the source. Anything two sources disagree on goes to a review list.

  4. 04

    Deploy

    Tulip is set up on your computers, under your firm's own accounts, and your team is trained on the work they already do.

Set it up once

One-time setup. The licence stays with your law firm.

Not a monthly fee to watch cause lists. Updates are included. If you ever want out, you take the whole record with you.
