Custom Legal Software
Legal work has its own rules, terminology, workflows, deadlines, permissions, and expectations. Generic business software often gets close—but “close” usually means more work for the people using it.
We build applications around the way legal work actually happens, including internal practice-management tools, client-facing applications, workflow systems, reporting tools, dashboards, utilities, and specialized applications for individual firms or legal processes.
Workflow Automation
A surprising amount of legal work consists of moving information from one place to another, checking whether something happened, creating the next thing, assigning a task, updating a record, or reminding somebody to do it.
We design workflows that automate those steps while keeping people in control of the work that actually requires judgment.
Robotic Process Automation
Not every system has a useful API. Not every piece of legacy software can be replaced.
Robotic process automation can bridge those gaps by allowing software to perform repetitive computer tasks that would otherwise require manual input.
We develop RPA solutions for structured, predictable processes such as data entry, document handling, system updates, information transfers, and repetitive administrative workflows.
API Integrations
Your software should talk to your other software.
We build integrations between legal platforms, business applications, cloud services, internal systems, and custom software using APIs, webhooks, and other integration technologies.
The goal is simple: enter information once, keep systems synchronized, and eliminate unnecessary manual handoffs wherever practical.
Full-Stack Web Application Development
When an off-the-shelf product cannot do the job, we build the product.
Techwriter develops complete web applications from interface to database, including application architecture, user interfaces, backend systems, databases, authentication, permissions, integrations, automation, reporting, deployment, and ongoing development.
Projects can range from small internal utilities to complete operational platforms.
Mac & PC Desktop Applications
Not every tool needs to live in a browser, and not every application needs to be connected to the internet.
Techwriter develops desktop applications for macOS and Windows when a local application is the better fit. That can include internal utilities, document tools, data-processing applications, workflow software, specialized interfaces, offline tools, and applications that need direct access to files, local hardware, or other desktop resources.
Desktop software can also be designed to work alongside cloud services and APIs where appropriate, giving firms the advantages of a native application without forcing every part of the system onto the web.
The goal is to choose the right platform for the job, not to put everything in a browser by default.
Process & Technology Consulting
Sometimes the problem isn't the software. Sometimes it's the process wrapped around it.
We work with firms to examine how work moves through the organization, identify unnecessary steps and recurring bottlenecks, and determine where software or automation can make a meaningful difference.
That can mean improving an existing system, connecting systems that already work, automating part of a process, or designing something entirely new.
Technology Should Remove Work
We are not interested in adding technology for the sake of adding technology.
A successful system should make something easier, faster, more reliable, or possible.
That principle guides everything we build.
