Migrate your LEAP data
Cloud-based legal practice management platform for mid-to-enterprise law firms with built-in trust accounting, document automation, and AI-assisted workflows.
In its favor
Why people choose LEAP
The signal that keeps LEAP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Law firms choose LEAP for its all-in-one integration combining practice management, document automation, and financial compliance in a single platform rather than stitching together separate tools.
The built-in conflict checking, matter workflows, and calendar management reduce the need for third-party add-ons that smaller platforms require to reach equivalent functionality.
LEAP's integrated General Ledger and nominal ledger disbursements support jurisdiction-specific trust accounting compliance requirements out of the box.
AI-powered document creation within the platform accelerates drafting workflows for high-volume practice areas, particularly in conveyancing and litigation.
Over 5,140 successful electronic data conversions demonstrate a documented migration methodology that gives firms confidence in transitioning from legacy systems.
Performance has degraded after recent platform updates, with the software crashing and causing instability in Outlook and Office integrations, which disrupts daily practice operations.
Support responsiveness does not match the promised service level — customers report generic email responses and unwillingness to revert problematic updates or provide hands-on migration assistance.
The transition service is marketed as supported but relies heavily on firm-side data preparation, and LEAP's policy of migrating from only a single source system creates risk for firms running hybrid environments.
Setup and IT onboarding coordination is poor — anti-virus exception requirements are not communicated upfront, leading to machine freezes and slow performance that go unaddressed during the implementation period.

What gets migrated
LEAP object support
Object-by-object support for LEAP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Clients
Fully supportedClient records with contact details, addresses, and associations to matters migrate cleanly. LEAP enforces unique client identifiers that we preserve during import to maintain referential integrity across the matter hierarchy.
Matters
Fully supportedMatters carry the primary practice data including associated client, practice area, responsible fee earner, status, and key dates. We map LEAP matter statuses to the destination schema and preserve nested document and activity history.
Documents
Mapping requiredLEAP exports a maximum of 100 documents per batch operation with no native bulk zip export. We chunk large matter document sets into sub-100 folders, sequence the folder exports, and reassemble them on the destination side. Document metadata and version history require separate field mapping.
Trust Accounts
Fully supportedLEAP enforces strict trust accounting compliance including trust bank deposits, journal entries, and trust payments. We map trust ledger balances at the matter level and flag any unallocated receipts or outstanding payments for manual reconciliation before final sign-off.
Trust Receipts
Fully supportedTrust receipt records track incoming funds per matter. We map receipt numbers, dates, amounts, and narrative fields and ensure the allocation logic maps correctly to the destination trust accounting rules.
Time Entries
Fully supportedTime entries including duration, fee earner, task code, and narrative are fully supported. We preserve the billable versus non-billable flag and carry forward cost recovery associations to the destination billing workflow.
Cost Recovery Task Codes
Fully supportedLEAP separates fee task codes from cost recovery task codes. Both endpoints are fully accessible via the API and we map them directly to the destination billing structure, flagging any codes that do not have a destination equivalent.
Tax Codes
Fully supportedTax codes are exposed via a dedicated API endpoint and are migrated as part of the financial data layer, ensuring billing records retain correct tax treatment on the destination system.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields are user-defined per firm and stored with their own field definitions. We export the field schema alongside the data and apply a field-level mapping table during the destination import so custom properties land in the correct destination fields.
Users and Fee Earners
Mapping requiredLEAP user records include user type and role assignments. We map users to the destination owner structure and flag any inactive or archived users that should not receive login credentials post-migration.
Transit Register
Fully supportedTransit register transactions migrate as part of the financial data set. We preserve transaction dates, amounts, and account associations and flag any unreconciled transit items for manual clearance.
Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredWhere LEAP is used with sales or client lifecycle pipelines, we map the stage definitions and current stage assignments. Stages with custom statuses require value-mapping against the destination pipeline schema.
