Launching January 2027 · Now welcoming founding firms ⚖️

Never Miss a Court Date. Never Mishandle Client Money.

The practice-management platform built for Sierra Leone law firms — clients and matters, the court diary, documents, time and billing, client accounts and AML/CFT compliance, all in one secure system.

We set it up, train your whole firm, and stay with you for ongoing support.

Sound Familiar?

These problems cost Sierra Leone law firms time, money and sleep. Anchor Justice is built to fix them.

📅

Court Dates in a Diary Book

One missed adjournment or filing date can cost a client their case, and the firm its reputation

Client Money in a Spreadsheet

Client accounts balanced by hand, if at all, when one mistake can put a practising certificate at risk

⏱️

Work That Never Gets Billed

Calls, drafting and court appearances that never make it onto an invoice

⚠️

Conflicts Found Too Late

Discovering you act for the other side after the work has already started

🗂️

Files You Can't Find

Pleadings and correspondence scattered across cabinets, laptops and email

🧾

AML/CFT Paperwork

Client due diligence duties under the AML/CFT Act 2024, with no clear record of what was checked

Everything Your Practice Needs

Four pillars working together, from the first client call to the final bill

🤝
You're never on your own. We set the system up with your managing partner and train each person for their own job, and your dedicated customer success manager stays with your firm for prompt, ongoing support.

Court Diary & Deadlines: Never Miss a Date

One diary for the whole firm, with every hearing's court, courtroom, judge and suit number. Deadlines are calculated from the hearing or trigger date, counting court holidays, and a lawyer confirms every date.

  • Firm-wide court diary with clash warnings
  • Deadlines calculated from your court rules, confirmed by a lawyer
  • Reminders to the lawyer, and to the supervising partner if a date is left unconfirmed
  • Adjourn a hearing and its deadlines are recalculated automatically
  • Nothing is deleted silently: cancelling a deadline needs a partner and a reason

Clients & Matters: Checked Before Work Begins

Every new client gets a conflict check and client due diligence before any work starts. A matter can't be activated until both are cleared, and only the people on a matter's team can see it.

  • Automatic conflict check across every client and matter
  • Client due diligence, with enhanced checks for politically exposed persons
  • Matters stay in intake until the checks are cleared
  • Team-based access, plus ethical walls when someone must be screened off
  • Each matter's parties, stage, tasks and history in one place

🧾 New Client Intake
✓ Client registered
Duplicate check: no existing record
✓ Conflict check cleared
1 possible match reviewed by a partner
✓ Client due diligence complete

Documents: Privileged by Default

Every document starts privileged and unshared. Staff read files in a secure, watermarked viewer, every view is recorded, and earlier versions are never overwritten.

  • Secure viewer, watermarked with the viewer's name and the time
  • Check out, check in and compare versions
  • Letters generated on your letterhead, as Word or PDF
  • Documents are shared with a client only when a lawyer decides to
  • Search across your matters, seeing only what you're allowed to see
See Document Security →

Billing & Client Money: Every Hour Billed, Every Leone Protected

Record time with a timer, turn approved work into numbered bills on your letterhead, and keep client money separate: never overdrawn, and never moved by one person alone.

  • Timer and quick time entry, with rates fixed at the time of the work
  • Numbered bills on your letterhead; corrections by credit note, never by editing
  • Receipts by bank transfer, cash, cheque, Orange Money and Africell Money
  • Client money held per client and per matter, and it can never go below zero
  • Every withdrawal authorised by a partner, with a monthly bank reconciliation
  • Clients see their bills, receipts and client-money statement in their own portal
  • Coming soon: clients paying online by mobile money

Compliance & Oversight: Ready When You're Asked

Your compliance officer handles suspicious-activity alerts and reports in a private area no client can see. Practising certificates are tracked with reminders, and every sensitive action is recorded in an audit trail that can't be altered.

  • Suspicious-activity alerts and records of reports filed with the FIA
  • Tipping-off safeguards: nothing about a suspicion is ever visible to the client
  • Practising certificate reminders before they expire
  • A firm dashboard: billing, what clients owe, client money and missed deadlines at a glance
  • A tamper-evident record of who did what, and when

How We Get Your Firm Started

Software only helps if your people use it. We train every member of your firm for their own job, then switch the system on one area at a time.

  1. Week 1

    Set Up With Your Managing Partner

    Your firm's details, rates, holidays, letterhead and rules, set up together with you.

  2. Weeks 2–3

    Training by Role

    Short online sessions on Google Meet, on weekday late afternoons. Each person learns only what their job needs, then the whole firm rehearses one case together.

  3. Week 4

    Your Live Cases In

    We're with you on Google Meet while your team enters current cases, upcoming hearings and client-money balances.

  4. Weeks 5–12

    One Area at a Time

    Court diary first, then billing, then client money, so nobody is overwhelmed.

  5. Week 13

    Review With Your Own Figures

    We sit with your managing partner and look at what the system has done for your firm. Your customer success manager stays with you from there.

👤

Your Dedicated Customer Success Manager, for the Long Run

Every firm is assigned its own customer success manager, who leads your onboarding and training, then stays with you for prompt, ongoing support by WhatsApp and phone, long after the first three months. Inside your firm, we also train an Anchor Champion as the first stop for colleagues' quick questions.

Why We Built Anchor Justice

Sierra Leone's law firms deserve software built for the way they actually practise

Built Here, For Here

Designed from day one for Sierra Leone practice: a fused profession, leones and dollars, court holidays, and AML/CFT Act 2024 client due diligence. Shaped with direct input from a practising Sierra Leonean managing partner.

🔒

Confidentiality First

Documents privileged by default, ethical walls that bind everyone, encrypted storage hosted on AWS, and a record of every view.

🤝

With You From Day One

A dedicated customer success manager for prompt, ongoing support, role-based training, and an Anchor Champion inside your firm. We succeed when your firm does.

⚖️ Become a Founding Firm

Anchor Justice launches in January 2027. We're looking for a small number of founding firms to launch with: full onboarding and training for your whole team, and direct input on the features we build next.

Common Questions

Is our client information secure?

Yes. Documents are encrypted in storage and in transit, and hosted securely on AWS. Every document starts privileged, only people on a matter's team can see it, and every view and sensitive action is recorded in an audit trail that can't be altered.

Can we bring our existing cases in?

Yes. During onboarding we sit with your team while you enter your live cases, upcoming hearings and client-money balances. Closed files can stay in your archive.

Does it handle client (trust) accounts?

Yes. Client money is recorded per client and per matter, can never go below zero, and every withdrawal needs a partner's authorisation. You record a bank reconciliation every month.

Does it help with AML/CFT obligations?

Yes. It records client due diligence, enhanced checks for politically exposed persons, and suspicious transaction reports filed with the FIA, with safeguards so nothing is ever visible to the client. Decisions always stay with your compliance officer.

We're a small firm. Is it for us?

Yes. In a small firm one person can hold several roles, such as partner and bookkeeper, and approval steps can be switched off when there's only one partner.

What support do we get after onboarding?

Your firm keeps its dedicated customer success manager for prompt, ongoing support: answering questions on WhatsApp or by phone, helping with anything that's stuck, and making sure you get the most out of Anchor Justice.

Who trains staff who join later?

Your customer success manager does, with help from your Anchor Champion. New joiners get the same short, role-based training as the rest of your team.

When can we start?

Anchor Justice launches in January 2027. Message us on WhatsApp to book a demo or to become one of our founding firms.
