Overview
OneAdvanced Legal is a cloud-native practice management platform built for UK and Irish law firms, combining case management, time capture, integrated accounts, and document production under one subscription. Its data model centres on Clients, Matters, Time Entries, Bills, and custom legal properties — with no documented public API for bulk data extraction, meaning migration typically relies on CSV exports or direct database queries if the export UI is insufficient. Twenty CRM is an open-source CRM built on TypeScript, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, using standard objects People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks, with a CSV-based import function accessible through the Command Menu. FlitStack AI extracts data from OneAdvanced Legal through its reporting export interface (and direct database reads where the API does not cover all record types), then maps each object into Twenty's relational schema, resolving foreign keys in the correct import order: Companies first, then People linked by companyId, then Opportunities linked to both. Workflows, automations, and billing templates do not migrate — those must be rebuilt in Twenty's workflow builder or exported as reference documents for your admin team to recreate. The migration runs against Twenty's GraphQL-backed import API with a 100–200 requests-per-minute ceiling depending on your Twenty plan, and a 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any records modified in OneAdvanced Legal during cutover so your Twenty workspace reflects the final state at go-live.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a OneAdvanced Legal object lands in Twenty CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
OneAdvanced Legal
Client
Twenty CRM
People
1:1OneAdvanced Legal clients map directly to Twenty People records. The client name splits into FirstName and LastName where available, otherwise the full name writes to a combined name field. Email, phone, and address fields map 1:1. A clientId foreign key is preserved in a custom Source_System_ID__c field for delta-run traceability.
OneAdvanced Legal
Client
Twenty CRM
Company
1:1Where OneAdvanced Legal stores a client organisation name alongside individual client contacts, FlitStack AI creates a Twenty Company record and associates the People record via companyId. This follows Twenty's relational import order: Companies first, then People linked to the parent company.
OneAdvanced Legal
Matter
Twenty CRM
Opportunity
1:1OneAdvanced Legal matters map to Twenty Opportunities but require transformation: a matter has a client, an open/closed status, a matter type (litigation, conveyancing, etc.), and a reference number. These map as Opportunity.name (matter reference), Opportunity.stage (mapped from matter status), and Opportunity probability set by your defined stage-to-probability table. Matter type becomes a custom Opportunity field (Matter_Type__c pick-list).
OneAdvanced Legal
Matter
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Matter)
1:1Twenty has no native matter object. For legal firms that need matter records as first-class entities, FlitStack AI creates a Matter custom object in Twenty before import, populating fields like Matter_Reference__c, Matter_Type__c, Practice_Area__c, and opened/closed dates. The Opportunity then links to the Matter via a relation field.
OneAdvanced Legal
Time Entry
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Time Entry)
1:1OneAdvanced Legal time entries (date, duration, description, billable flag, rate) have no direct Twenty equivalent. We create a Time_Entry__c custom object with fields: Entry_Date__c, Duration_Minutes__c, Description__c, Billable__c, Rate__c, and link it to the People record via a relation. Total billable hours per client are summarised in a read-only Total_Billable_Hours__c field on the People record.
OneAdvanced Legal
Bill / Invoice
Twenty CRM
Custom Object (Invoice)
1:1OneAdvanced Legal bills contain invoice number, date, amount, and status. We create an Invoice__c custom object in Twenty with those fields plus Invoice_Number__c, Invoice_Date__c, Amount__c, Status__c, and link it to the associated People record. Note that Twenty does not process payments — the invoice record is a reference document only.
OneAdvanced Legal
Document / Legal Form
Twenty CRM
Note
1:1OneAdvanced Legal documents (letters, forms, briefs) attach to matters and clients. We import them as Twenty Notes attached to the relevant People or Opportunity record. File attachments are re-uploaded to Twenty's file storage. The note body records the document type and reference from the source system.
OneAdvanced Legal
Task
Twenty CRM
Task
1:1Both platforms expose an object called Task. OneAdvanced Legal tasks attached to matters (deadline, description, assignee, priority) map 1:1 to Twenty Tasks. The due date, task body, and assignee email are preserved. Task completion status is mapped to Twenty's boolean completed field. Any custom task flags (urgent, billable) become custom checkboxes on the Twenty Task record.
OneAdvanced Legal
Custom Property (Legal)
Twenty CRM
Custom Field
1:1OneAdvanced Legal custom properties — practice-area flags, client-risk ratings, matter-source codes, and any firm-defined property — map to Twenty custom fields on the appropriate object (People, Company, Opportunity, or a custom Matter object). Each custom property requires a matching field to be pre-created in Twenty's Settings → Data Model section before the migration runs. FlitStack AI delivers a field-creation checklist during the planning phase listing every custom property, its target object, field type, and pick-list values so nothing is missed before import begins.

Workflow / Automation

Not Migrated
1:1OneAdvanced Legal practice workflows (matter intake gates, billing approval chains, document production triggers) are platform-native and do not export. FlitStack AI provides a structured reference export of your workflow definitions so your Twenty admin can rebuild them in the Twenty workflow builder.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
OneAdvanced Legal gotchas
Limited public API documentation complicates automated extraction
Trust account transaction sequencing risk at cutover
Custom properties and bespoke workflows are not visible in standard exports
National Will Register data sits outside the main platform
Twenty CRM gotchas
Import order is enforced and critical
Export limited to 20,000 records and visible columns only
Soft-deleted records count toward uniqueness and trigger restores
API rate limits cap at 200 req/min on Organization tier
No native email sequences — follow-up cadences require external tools
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Assess OneAdvanced Legal export scope and extract data
FlitStack AI works with your OneAdvanced Legal admin to identify every record type required for migration: clients, matters, time entries, bills, documents, tasks, and custom properties. We assess which record types are covered by the built-in export UI and which require direct database reads. We extract all data into structured CSVs, validate record counts against OneAdvanced Legal's own reporting figures, and flag any records with incomplete foreign keys (matters without a client, time entries without a matter) for your team to resolve before import begins.
Design and create Twenty workspace schema
Based on the export assessment, FlitStack AI delivers a schema design document specifying every custom object (Matter__c, Time_Entry__c, Invoice__c) and custom field that must exist in Twenty before data lands. Your Twenty admin creates these via Settings → Data Model. We also generate a Twenty workspace-setup checklist with the exact field names, types, and pick-list values required. We recommend running this step in parallel with the data extraction so schema creation does not add to the critical path.
Resolve owner and user mappings by email
OneAdvanced Legal matter owners and task assignees are resolved against Twenty workspace members by email address. Any owner or assignee email that does not match a Twenty user is flagged before migration with three options: invite the user to Twenty first, assign their records to a fallback owner, or leave the assignee blank for manual assignment post-migration. No record lands in Twenty without a resolved owner or a documented resolution path. This step runs before the import sequence to prevent orphan records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice — typically 100–500 records spanning clients, matters, time entries, and documents — migrates into Twenty first. We generate a field-level diff between the source CSV and the resulting Twenty records, verifying that matter status maps to Opportunity stage correctly, that time entries link to the right People record, and that custom fields populated on the correct object. You review the diff output and confirm the mapping logic before the full run commits. Any field mapping adjustments are made and the sample re-run until the diff is clean.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup cutover
The full migration runs in import order: Companies, then People (linked to companies via companyId), then Opportunities (linked to people and companies), then custom objects (Time_Entry__c, Invoice__c), then Notes and Tasks. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window runs concurrently with your live OneAdvanced Legal environment — your team continues working while FlitStack AI captures any new or modified records created during the cutover. Audit logs record every operation. If reconciliation finds discrepancies, one-click rollback reverts the Twenty workspace to its pre-migration state for a clean re-run.
