What Digiiworks Legal
actually does.
Four capabilities, built specifically for how South African law firms work. Here’s what each one does, how it fits your workflow, and when it shines.
Intake that never sleeps.
A Claude-powered chatbot triages enquiries around the clock, captures matter details, runs a conflict check, and books the consultation — so juniors arrive to a qualified shortlist, not an overflowing inbox.
- Triages new enquiries in English, Afrikaans and Zulu.
- Writes a pre-read summary into the matter before first contact.
- Checks conflicts against existing matter data automatically.
Does not provide legal advice or commit the firm to anything — it is a qualification and routing tool. Partner conversations stay yours.

Drafts in seconds, formatted your way.
Upload your templates once — letters of demand, affidavits, agreements. The system learns your firm's structure, takes the case facts you give it, and produces a court-ready Word document in your voice.
- Word output, formatted to your firm's house style.
- ZAR currency, SA legal conventions, VAT-aware.
- Every draft reviewed by a partner before it leaves the firm.
Does not generate novel legal argument or submit anything. It replaces the typing step, not the review step.

No more missed deadlines.
Drop a court order into a matter. AI extracts every date, hearing, compliance window, and conditional deadline — then pushes them onto the matter timeline and the responsible lawyer's calendar, with alerts configured at 14, 7 and 1 days out.
- Conditional deadlines handled — 'within 30 days of service…'
- Flows straight to Google Calendar or Outlook.
- Runs alongside your existing deadline system for the first 90 days.
Printed and typed documents only — no handwritten notes. A safety net, never a substitute for attorney attention.
Everything your firm needs to run, in one place.
Matter management, time tracking, invoicing, client portal, document storage, calendar, and trust ledger — tied together, not stapled together.
Matter management
Create, update, close matters with structured data, notes, documents, and timeline.
Time tracking
Automatic capture against open matters, manual entry for offline work, monthly rollup to invoices.
Invoicing
VAT-compliant invoicing in ZAR, monthly or interim, with trust account reconciliation.
Client portal
Secure client-facing area for document sharing, invoices, and matter status (Practice tier and above).
Trust account ledger view
Read-only view of trust account movements mapped to matters, for partner oversight and LPC compliance.
Calendar integration
Matters, deadlines, appointments, and court dates sync with Google Calendar or Outlook.
Why it matters
Most firms are duct-taping six tools together — a calendar, a billing platform, a document drive, a spreadsheet for time entries, a WhatsApp group for matter updates. The cost of that stack isn’t the software — it’s the context-switching tax on fee earners.
One system, one login, one place where everything lives.
Built with South African firms, by design.
Security isn't a checkbox page — it's a prerequisite. Here's how data actually gets handled.
POPIA-compliant from day one.
Not bolted on, not a compliance afterthought. Built into the data model.

Customer data lives in Supabase's Cape Town (af-south-1) region by default.
Trust & securityApplication-level AES-256 encryption.
Per-firm key derivation. Client data is encrypted before it touches storage, not just at rest.
Tenant isolation at every layer.
Row-level security in the database, cryptographic separation between firms, separate admin console. One firm's data never sits next to another's in plain view.
What’s shipping in the next six months.
