Ontario legal practitioners using uLawPractice will now be able to automate more than 30 civil court forms.

Seizing the power of automation at your law firm means cutting down on time spent doing activities that could otherwise be better served in the courtroom, or with clients. Cutting down time on clerical work while offering enhanced compliance and efficiency is what uLawPractice is all about.

Founded in 2011, uLawPractice has rapidly grown since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The software is now a staple educational resource in the majority of Ontario colleges teaching law clerks and legal assistants. This is because uLawPractice is the most advanced type of cloud-based software currently available on the Canadian market: it’s entirely focused on satisfying the needs of Canadian practitioners. Canadians come first!
