Practice management for small and mid-size law firms
Compass by Rulng is set up for the practice each firm runs: criminal defense first, then estate planning, family law and elder law.
One system, set up for your practice
Compass by Rulng is practice management for small and mid-size law firms, set up for the practice each firm actually runs. Criminal and estate practices start with their own checklists, family and elder law firms start from the general one, and every firm writes its own, on the same website, intake and backups underneath.
The practices
Criminal defense.
Website inquiries at any hour, the court notices your attorneys forward filed on the right case, and each charge linked to the law library.
Estate planning.
Consultations and signings on one calendar, couples in one file, and topic guides on wills, trusts, powers of attorney and probate.
Family law.
Your staff check the other side for conflicts before the first meeting, with the file in one place and guides on divorce, custody and support.
Elder law.
Families as clients, meetings and signings with reschedules, and guides on guardianship, powers of attorney and advance directives.
What Compass covers
- Your own website, built to be read and quoted in AI search.
- Lead management with the source of every lead.
- Case management with phases and the calendar, and court integration where your courts are covered.
- The law library, with answers that cite every point, for the state it covers today.
- Billing, reports and encrypted backups.
Why small firms choose one system
Few small firms have time to manage four vendors: a web designer, an intake tool, a case management system and a reporting agency. Compass is one system, set up by WattReach with your firm, so the people who practice law can spend their time practicing it.
Questions
What should a small law firm look for in practice management software?
A small law firm should look for software that replaces separate tools rather than adding one, fits its practice area, and is set up for it rather than by it. Compass by Rulng replaces a separate website, intake tool and case management system, though not trust accounting, and WattReach sets it up.
Which practice areas does Compass support?
Compass by Rulng supports criminal defense, estate planning, family law and elder law practices today. Criminal and estate practices have their own starter checklists, and family and elder law firms start from the general one.
Can one firm use Compass for several practice areas?
Yes, Compass by Rulng has a general-practice setup with phases and library topics across several areas, and each firm writes the checklists for its own kinds of matters.
Is Compass only for law firms?
Compass by Rulng is built for law firms first, and the same platform also runs online shops today. The practice pages, the law library and the court features are for law firms.
