Overview
Assembly Neos stores legal-specific data — matters, clients, practice-area taxonomies, attorney assignments, and trust accounting — in a schema designed for law firms. HubSpot's CRM is a general-purpose platform built around contacts, companies, deals, and tickets. The migration carries your core records (contacts, companies, matter details, documents, activities) into HubSpot objects while surfacing legal-specific data that needs custom fields or custom objects. We map Assembly Neos matters to HubSpot deals or a custom matter object depending on your pipeline structure, translate practice-area pick-lists to HubSpot property options, and resolve attorney assignments to HubSpot owners by email match. HubSpot's native lifecycle_stage, deal pipelines, and association model replace Assembly Neos's case lifecycle tracking. Trust accounting balances, billing ledgers, and time-tracking data have no direct HubSpot equivalent — those migrate as custom properties for reference or require a separate billing rebuild. We use HubSpot's Contacts API and Companies API for record creation, the Deals API for matter translation, and HubSpot Files for document attachment re-upload.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Assembly Neos object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Assembly Neos
Contact (Person)
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Assembly Neos person-type contacts map directly to HubSpot Contacts. The contact's primary firm (if represented by a company) resolves to a HubSpot Company via the contact's firm_name field. Original Assembly Neos create dates and last-modified timestamps are preserved as custom datetime properties.
Assembly Neos
Company (Firm)
HubSpot
Company
1:1Assembly Neos company/firm records map to HubSpot Companies using the Companies API for record creation and updates. Firm address, phone, website, and industry properties translate directly via field-level mapping. Multi-office firms with one Assembly Neos company record get one HubSpot Company entry — branch office locations surface as additional address records or address custom properties on the same company, ensuring all physical locations are captured for geographic reporting.
Assembly Neos
Matter (Case)
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Assembly Neos matters map to HubSpot Deals as the primary translation. Matter name becomes Deal name; matter number becomes a custom Deal property (Matter_Number__c). Practice area, case type, court, and opposing counsel map to custom Deal properties. Matter status (Open/Closed/Pending) maps to Deal stage values configured per pipeline.
Assembly Neos
Practice Area
HubSpot
Custom Property (Deal: Practice_Area__c)
1:1HubSpot has no native practice-area taxonomy. We create a custom pick-list property (Practice_Area__c) on the Deal object and populate it with Assembly Neos practice-area values. If Assembly Neos uses freeform text, we map distinct values to pick-list options for consistency.
Assembly Neos
Case Type
HubSpot
Custom Property (Deal: Case_Type__c)
1:1Case type from Assembly Neos (e.g., Personal Injury, Family Law, Commercial Litigation) migrates as a custom pick-list property on the Deal object via HubSpot's custom property API. Unique Assembly Neos case-type values are enumerated during the pre-migration audit phase and mapped to HubSpot pick-list options in the Field Mapping Document. This preserves your firm's case-type taxonomy and enables reporting by matter category without requiring custom report builds.
Assembly Neos
Attorney / Staff Assignment
HubSpot
Deal: OwnerId
1:1Assembly Neos assigns attorneys and paralegals to matters by user record. We match the Assembly Neos user email to a HubSpot user by email — if a HubSpot user exists, the Deal owner is assigned automatically. Unmatched attorneys are flagged for your admin to create HubSpot users or reassign before the migration runs.
Assembly Neos
Court / Jurisdiction Info
HubSpot
Custom Properties (Deal: Court_Name__c, Jurisdiction__c)
1:1Court name, jurisdiction, and judge information have no native HubSpot equivalent — these become custom text or pick-list fields on the Deal object. We create Court_Name__c, Jurisdiction__c, and Judge__c fields during the pre-migration schema setup using HubSpot's custom property endpoints. For jurisdictions with standardized naming conventions, we configure these as pick-list fields to maintain data consistency across all matter records.
Assembly Neos
Document / Attachment
HubSpot
HubSpot Files
1:1Assembly Neos documents attached to matters are downloaded and re-uploaded to HubSpot Files, linked to the corresponding Deal (matter) record. File size limits (HubSpot default 25MB per file) are respected; files exceeding the limit are flagged for manual chunking or alternative storage.
Assembly Neos
Note / Case Note
HubSpot
Engagement Note / Deal Description
1:1Assembly Neos case notes migrate to HubSpot as Notes linked to the Deal record. Rich-text formatting is preserved where possible. The most recent case note content can optionally populate the Deal description field for quick reference in the deal card view.
Assembly Neos
Trust Account Balance
HubSpot
Custom Properties (Contact/Company: Trust_Balance__c)
1:1Trust account balances are legal-specific data with no HubSpot equivalent. We migrate the balance as a custom currency field (Trust_Balance__c) on the Contact or Company record for reference. The financial operations of the trust account must be managed in separate accounting software — HubSpot does not support IOLTA ledger logic.
Assembly Neos
Time Entry / Billing Record
HubSpot
Custom Properties / No Equivalent
1:1Assembly Neos time entries and billing invoices have no HubSpot CRM equivalent. Time entries can be preserved as a custom object (Time_Entry__c) with hours, rate, description, and matter link — or exported as a reference CSV. Invoice history requires separate rebuild in HubSpot's billing integration or a third-party tool.
Assembly Neos
Opposing Counsel / Party
HubSpot
Custom Properties / Contact Association
1:1Opposing counsel name and party information from Assembly Neos matter records map to custom text fields (Opposing_Counsel__c, Opposing_Party__c) on the Deal object. If the opposing party exists as a Contact in HubSpot, we create an association link using HubSpot's contact-to-deal association model, enabling bidirectional reference between the opposing party record and the matter deal.
Assembly Neos
Insurance Carrier / Policy Info
HubSpot
Custom Properties (Deal: Insurance_Carrier__c, Policy_Number__c)
1:1Insurance fields from Assembly Neos matter records — including carrier name, policy number, and claim number — become custom text properties on the Deal object. During schema setup, we create Insurance_Carrier__c, Policy_Number__c, and Claim_Number__c using HubSpot's custom property API. These fields enable your team to track insurance details for each matter directly within the HubSpot deal record without requiring navigation to external systems.
Assembly Neos
Custom Fields (firm-specific)
HubSpot
Custom Properties / Custom Objects
1:1Assembly Neos allows firm-defined custom fields per matter or contact. We audit your custom field inventory, map each to a HubSpot custom property (for standard objects) or a HubSpot custom object (for relational data). Complex custom fields with pick-list values require value-by-value mapping during the migration plan.

Migration approach
Audit Assembly Neos schema and custom field inventory
FlitStack AI pulls a full export of your Assembly Neos data model — objects, standard fields, custom fields, and pick-list values. We cross-reference this against HubSpot's standard properties to identify every field that requires a custom property, value mapping, or custom object. The output is a Field Mapping Document (FMD) listing every Assembly Neos field, its destination in HubSpot, the mapping type, and any transformation notes. Your team reviews the FMD and approves or adjusts before any data moves.
Create HubSpot custom properties and custom objects
Based on the approved FMD, we create all required custom properties in HubSpot — practice_area__c, case_type__c, court_name__c, matter_number__c, trust_balance__c, and every other legal-specific field. For pick-list fields, we configure the exact value set from Assembly Neos so reporting by practice area or case type works immediately. If you need custom objects (e.g., a Time_Entry__c object), we create those and their schemas before record ingestion begins.
Resolve users and set up owner mapping
Assembly Neos attorney and staff assignments map to HubSpot owners by email address match. We pull the Assembly Neos user list, match each email against your HubSpot user roster, and flag any Assembly Neos user without a corresponding HubSpot account. Your admin creates HubSpot users for unmatched attorneys before migration, or designates a fallback owner. No matter record migrates without a resolved owner — unowned records are held and reported on for manual assignment.
Migrate companies and contacts first, then matters
HubSpot requires Company records to exist before Contacts can link via the associatedcompanyid lookup, and Deal records benefit from resolved Contact links via contact associations. We sequence the migration: (1) Companies from Assembly Neos firms, (2) Contacts from Assembly Neos persons, (3) Matters from Assembly Neos cases with owner resolution and contact associations. This order ensures foreign key integrity — HubSpot will not accept a Contact with a non-existent Company ID, and a Deal without an associated Contact cannot have contact roles.
Run sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice migrates first — typically 100–500 records spanning contacts, companies, matters, and a sample of documents. We generate a field-level diff comparing source Assembly Neos values against the destination HubSpot values so you can verify: practice_area mapping, case_type pick-list completeness, attorney owner resolution, matter status-to-deal-stage mapping, and document attachment integrity. You sign off on the sample before the full run commits.
Cut over with delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against HubSpot. Your team continues working in Assembly Neos during the migration — FlitStack AI uses scoped read access only. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any records modified or created in Assembly Neos during the cutover, ensuring HubSpot reflects your final Assembly Neos state at go-live. Audit log captures every operation; one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails. After go-live, Assembly Neos is placed in read-only mode and a final delta run captures any last-minute changes before the source account is decommissioned.
