LexShield runs an Indian legal practice on one system — matters, cause lists, limitation dates, case-law research, and client trust accounting kept properly apart from firm money. Precise where it must be, and hostable on your own servers so privileged files stay in your chambers.
Matters, dates, research and accounts on one audit-logged system
Limitation runs quietly in the background of every matter. Miss the outward date once and the right of action can be gone — a diary error becomes a professional-negligence exposure.
The cause list is on the noticeboard, the diary is in a notebook, and the file is in a cabinet. Nothing reconciles, and every junior asks the same question twice.
A client's advance sitting in the same account as firm receipts is a conduct hazard. When it can't be shown separately, on demand, the exposure is the firm's own.
LexShield puts the matter at the centre and lets the calendar, the limitation clock, the research and the accounts all read from it. Serious tooling, understated by design — precision is the point.
A limitation calculator computes the outward date from a catalogue of proceeding types, so the date lands in your calendar instead of on your conscience — you verify, it remembers.
Tomorrow's listed matters, hearings and internal deadlines sit in one calendar. Walk into court knowing exactly what is up, before whom, and what it needs.
A dedicated client trust ledger records every deposit and withdrawal per client, kept apart from firm invoices and expenses — the separation conduct rules expect, on the record.
Run LexShield on your own servers so privileged files never leave your firm, or let us host it. Same product either way, with role-based access and a full audit log.
Purpose-built tools for advocates and law firms — every one of them real and shipping.
Every matter with its parties, court, status and history — the single file the whole system reads from
Capture and assess a prospective matter at intake, then convert a promising one straight into a case
Compute the outward limitation date from a catalogue of proceeding types and diarise it against the matter
Listed matters, hearings and deadlines in one place, so nothing surfaces for the first time in the courtroom
Search judgments, open a judgment detail, bookmark what you rely on, and reference the statute library
A deposits-and-withdrawals ledger per client, held distinct from firm money — the conduct-safe way
Raise invoices, log expenses, and read finance reports — the firm's own money, clearly on its own side
Role-based access with finance and admin guards, and an audit log recording who changed what, and when
Each module shares the same matter and client data — no exports between tools, no re-keying.
The file at the centre of everything else
Tomorrow, in court, already known
Authority beside the matter it supports
The dates you cannot afford to miss
Client money and firm money, never confused
Who can do what, and a record of who did
The same matter record carries from the first assessment to the invoice — and the trust ledger balances alongside it.
A prospective matter comes in as a case assessment. You weigh it, and when it is worth taking, convert it into a live matter — the client, the parties and the court all captured once.
The limitation calculator puts the outward date on the calendar, the cause list keeps every hearing in view, and your research and tasks sit on the same file. Nothing depends on someone remembering.
Fees are invoiced on the firm's side while the client's money stays on its own trust ledger, drawn down only as it should be. Every entry is logged, so the account can be shown clean, on demand.
Imported practice-management tools are capable software — but the parts an Indian advocate needs most are the parts they were never built with. The gap is not polish; it is fit.
| What a practice relies on | LexShield | Generic imported PM software |
|---|---|---|
| Limitation date calculation | Built-in calculator with a category catalogue | Left to a manual diary entry |
| Cause-list-driven calendar | A first-class part of the system | A generic calendar with no cause-list notion |
| Client money handling | Dedicated trust ledger, kept separate | Often folded into general billing |
| Case-law & statute research | Search, judgments and bookmarks inside the tool | A separate subscription elsewhere |
| Regional language content | Telugu rendering alongside English | English-only in practice |
| Where your files live | Self-hostable on your own servers | Held on a vendor's overseas cloud |
For a legal practice, where the data lives is not a preference — it is a duty. LexShield is built so the firm can keep control of its own records, on a stack chosen for durability rather than fashion.
Read statute and reference material in తెలుగు alongside English — for practice before the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh courts.

On your own infrastructure
The limitation calculator computes the outward date from a catalogue of proceeding types and lands it in your calendar, so the date you cannot afford to miss is tracked by the system, not by memory.
A client's money sits on its own trust ledger of deposits and withdrawals, kept apart from firm invoices and expenses — the separation conduct rules expect, recorded and auditable.
Run it on your own servers so privileged files never leave the firm, with role-based access and a full audit log. Built on Java, Spring, Angular and PostgreSQL for durability.
Book a walkthrough and we will show you how a matter runs end to end — intake, limitation, cause list, research and trust accounting — on a system you can host yourself.
Yes. It is designed around how an Indian practice actually runs — matters that move through district, High Court and Supreme Court forums, a cause-list-driven calendar, a limitation calculator keyed to periods under the Limitation Act, a case-law and statute research library, and client trust accounting that keeps a client's money on its own ledger. It is not a foreign practice-management tool with India bolted on afterwards.
You pick the kind of proceeding from a catalogue of limitation categories and give it the starting date, and the tool computes the outward limitation date for you. It is a calculation aid that helps you diarise the date and see it against the matter — the advocate remains responsible for verifying the applicable period. LexShield does not give legal advice.
Yes. Client trust accounting is a first-class module with its own ledger of deposits and withdrawals per client, kept distinct from the firm's invoices and expenses. That separation is exactly what conduct rules on a client's money expect, and every movement is recorded and auditable.
Yes. LexShield can be self-hosted on infrastructure you control, so privileged case files and client data never have to leave your firm. It runs on a standard Java, Spring and PostgreSQL stack, with role-based access and a full audit log. A managed cloud option is available if you would rather we run it.
Yes. The interface renders Telugu content with a dedicated Telugu typeface, so statute and reference material can be read in Telugu alongside English — useful for practice before the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh courts. English is the default throughout.
LexShield has a case-law search with a judgment detail view and bookmarks you can save against your reading, a statute library, and a court-forms library. Research sits inside the same system as your matters, so a judgment you rely on is one click from the case it belongs to.
Yes. The Solo Advocate tier is free for a single practitioner and covers the core of daily practice — matters, the cause-list calendar, the limitation calculator and case-law research. You can move up to Chamber, Firm or Enterprise as your practice grows, with no lock-in. Prices shown are indicative.
No. LexShield is a practice management and record system. It organises matters, dates, documents, research and accounts, and computes dates and figures from what you enter. It does not give legal advice and does not predict the result of any case — that judgement stays entirely with the advocate.
