What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a practice-management product you configure — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the database, the matter rules, the deadlines, the client portal, the billing flow, and the internal knowledge base. What you get is a real web app that’s yours, on your own domain, and you can change it later by asking. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is law practice management software. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this one is for a firm whose matters, checklists, deadlines, walls, and invoices need to work together.
Why build your own practice management system?
Practice-management platforms are built for broad averages. A two-partner immigration firm may run on visa categories, evidence, filing windows, escalating reminders, and clients who call weekly to ask what is missing. Generic matter and task fields may not carry enough of that detail.
Kliv builds the system around how the firm practices: matter types, checklists, deadlines, portal access, billing, documents, and firm knowledge, with confidentiality enforced in the database.
What the firm’s system knows
The file, the clock, and the wall between clients are each data with rules attached.
Matters and parties
A matter carries visa category, parties, status, and every document filed under it. Opening a matter can create its checklist and deadline rules.
The deadline calendar
Statutory dates are derived from the matter, with reminders that escalate as the window closes.
Evidence checklists
Each case type knows what a complete file needs. As documents arrive, the checklist fills.
The client portal
A client signs in and sees their matter. Another client’s file does not exist for that login.
Fees and invoices
Flat fees and milestone invoices live on the matter and can be collected through checkout on your own Stripe account.
The firm’s library
Your own filings, briefs, and templates can become a searchable knowledge base for staff, grounded in firm documents and not public legal advice.
An example: Elena’s immigration firm
Here’s how one firm might use practice management software built with Kliv. It’s only an example — you would describe your own matter types, checklists, deadlines, portal rules, fees, and knowledge base.
Intake checks conflicts before opening
The inquiry becomes a contact. A conflicts search runs across parties before the work-permit matter is opened.
The matter starts with its checklist
When the matter opens, the visa category creates the evidence checklist and statutory deadline reminders.
The engagement and fee land on the file
The engagement letter sends from the matter. The $2,500 flat fee is paid through checkout on the firm’s Stripe account and recorded on the matter.
Client uploads fill the evidence list
The client uploads through the portal. Each document lands on its checklist line, and a weekly missing-document email is generated from the open items.
Deadline reminders escalate
Thirty days out, reminders escalate from paralegal to partner. The deadline is a row every dashboard reads.
The closed case remains useful
The filing is recorded, the decision arrives, and the matter closes. The record stays searchable for the next similar case.
Describe the practice you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Say what matter types you handle, what deadlines matter, what clients upload, how billing works, and who can see what. Here are three to build on:
Immigration firm
Visa categories, checklists, deadlines, portal, and flat fees.
“Build practice management for an immigration law firm. Organize matters by visa category, create per-type document checklists, send escalating deadline reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days, let clients upload documents and see status in a portal, and collect a $2,500 flat-fee engagement invoice through checkout.”
Family law office
Matters, hearings, shared calendars, and invoices.
“Build a case management system for a family law office with matters, hearing dates on a shared calendar, task lists by case stage, time entries per matter, client document uploads, and monthly invoices clients can pay online.”
Solo IP practice
Filings, renewals, docketing, and correspondence.
“Build a docketing system for a solo trademark practice that tracks filings and renewal deadlines per client, sends reminders at 90, 60, and 30 days, logs correspondence per matter, and keeps clients inside their own portal.”
The parts you should not build twice
Sign-in can match the firm’s policy. The portal can support email and password, Sign in with Google, passkeys, and two-factor codes.
Confidentiality can be demonstrated. A Scenario test can sign in as one client and try to reach another’s matter against a database copy. The run receipt shows the read was refused and why.
Email comes from the matter. Status notes, missing-document nudges, and hearing reminders can send under the firm’s own letterhead, triggered by the rows themselves.
A firm is also a services business: consultations, proposals, intake, and delivery. That wider side is covered on the professional-services page.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. For law practice management, it can build matters, deadlines, checklists, client portals, billing, documents, and firm knowledge.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the records and rules around your firm’s matter types and workflow.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add matter types, change checklist rules, adjust deadlines, add invoice types, or change portal views later.
Where does client data live?
In your database, as your rows and files. The app’s source can sync to your own Git repository.
Can clients see each other?
No. A client account reads its own matter and nothing else. Enforcement is at the row.
Does the agent give legal advice?
No. The knowledge-base agent is a staff tool that answers from firm documents, templates, and procedures. Legal advice remains the firm’s work.
How do we bill?
Flat fees and milestone invoices can run through checkout on your own Stripe account. Hourly billing from time entries can be added if you describe it.
Can deadlines escalate?
Yes. Deadline reminders can escalate from paralegal to partner as the filing window closes.
Can clients upload documents against checklists?
Yes. Each document can land on the checklist line it satisfies, and missing-item emails can be generated from open checklist items.
Can the client portal use two-factor codes?
Yes. You can choose the sign-in policy, including two-factor codes, passkeys, Google sign-in, or email and password.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The system can run on your own domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, and your data remains yours.
