How our legal data migration process works

Every migration follows three steps: a scoping call, the migration, and a review call. Here is what each step involves and what we need from you.

The three steps

1

Scoping call

We review your data together, show you how it will map into your new system, and build the migration plan on the call.

You provide

  • Your data in our templates, sent before the call
  • Answers to questions about how you use your system

We deliver

  • A review of your data
  • How your data will map into Clio (or your target system)
  • Reports on your legacy data
  • A migration plan, built on the call
2

Migration

We manage importing your data into your new system, so your team does not have to.

You provide

  • Access to your new system

We deliver

  • The migration, managed by us
3

Review call

We show you how your data looks in the new system and compare it to the legacy reports.

You provide

  • Your questions and feedback

We deliver

  • New reports on your data in the new system
  • A comparison to the legacy reports
  • A review of the results and answers to your questions

What we migrate

Every migration covers the data below. If something is not on the list, tell us on the scoping call and we will build it into the plan.

  • Contacts: clients, related parties, and vendors, with custom fields and relationships
  • Matters: details, statuses, practice areas, and responsible attorneys
  • Notes and activities: matter notes, tasks, and communications
  • Documents: files, folder structure, metadata, and permissions
  • Financials: invoices, payment history, account transactions, and trust and operating balances
  • And more: custom migrations for data that has no standard import

How we check the results

  • Plan before we move anything. We build the migration plan with you on the scoping call.
  • Reports on both sides. We generate reports on your legacy data, then on your data in the new system.
  • Side-by-side review. On the review call, we compare the two sets of reports and answer your questions.
  • Keep your originals. We work from exports or read access, so your source data stays as it was.

Planning a migration? Let's scope it.

Tell us where your data lives today and where you're moving it. We'll review it with you and give you a clear plan before any work begins.
