Why firms switch
Court diary and hearings
Each hearing carries its court, judge, suit number and purpose. After court, record what happened in a few taps. Chronica adds the next date, reminds whoever is going and keeps the history on the matter.
Fees the Nigerian way
Set the fee the way you agreed it with the client: a fixed fee in stages, a fee for each appearance, a retainer drawn down, or hourly when you need it. Chronica knows what is due and what is still unbilled.
Online payments
Every invoice has a pay link. Clients pay by bank transfer to an account made for that invoice, by USSD or by card. The invoice marks itself paid, and the money settles to your firm's bank account the next working day.
Payments are collected securely and paid out to your firm's bank account.
Client portal and updates
Each client gets a private page with their next hearing, your updates, documents to sign and invoices to pay. They sign in with a code sent to their phone. No app to download.
Documents, e-signatures and templates
Keep every process and letter on the matter. Start from your firm's templates with the parties and suit number filled in, edit in the browser with a colleague, and send for e-signature without printing.
CRM and WhatsApp intake
Enquiries from WhatsApp, your website and referrals land in one list. Reply from Chronica, book a consultation with an optional fee, run a conflict check, then convert the lead into a client and matter in one step.
Firm website
Pick a template, add your practice areas and team, and publish. Enquiries and bookings from the site go straight into your leads. Use a firm.chronica.legal address or your own domain.
AI assistant on your firm's data
The assistant reads your matter's notes, documents, hearings and emails, and answers with a citation for every point. If the answer is not in the file, it says so. It never invents case law.
Included on every plan: 30 uses a month on Solo, 100 per lawyer on Chambers, 300 per lawyer on Firm.

Security and data
Your files are your clients' secrets. Chronica is built to the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023, and the firm decides who sees what.
"We stopped losing adjourned dates. My clerk records the outcome from court and I see it before I'm out of traffic."
"Appearance fees used to slip. Now they're on the invoice the same day, and clients pay by transfer from the link."
"Clients get the update on WhatsApp and in the portal. The 'any news?' calls have nearly stopped."
