Your firm-wide data migration process to Lawcus is more seamless, laid-back, and stress-free than you imagined.

Steps for Data Migration

Step 1: Getting your data together from your previous practice management software

First off, it's essential to gather all your firm data in one piece, which would typically come in a zip file format. Sometimes, this comprehensive data export is something you can do by yourself, and in some cases, it'd require that you get in touch with the technical team at the previous software company.

Step 2: Importing your data into the Lawcus database

Once your exported data is available, we can begin work on importing your firm-wide data into the Lawcus database. Then, we import nearly everything from your organizational data that is received.

Step 3: Cleaning up and confirming your data

Immediately after the data migration is complete on our end, a login/password to your new Lawcus account is provided to enable you to confirm that the data import has been satisfactorily completed. Once you approve by the following Friday evening, when everyone is logged-out from the previous practice management tool, we will get the final data from the software and import it again to Lawcus. When everyone on your team comes back on Monday, they all can continue from where they left off with Lawcus without any disruption.

While this two-week migration process is underway, you can continue to use the previous software with no downtime. The data migration service is free with the annual business plan for Clio, Mycase, Practice Panther, LawMatics, Zola suite, Cosmolex, Smokeball, and Actionstep.
