Software for UAE consultancies, law firms, and advisory teams.

You sell expertise and time, so the systems around them have to be tight. We build CRM, document automation, and onboarding workflows for UAE consultancies, law firms, and advisory practices - so billable hours, client due diligence, and matter deadlines stop slipping.

Abu Dhabi-based · serving professional services across the UAE
THE CHALLENGE

Sound familiar?

  • Billable hours leak. Time gets logged late or not at all, work-in-progress sits unbilled, and no one sees the revenue slipping until month-end.

  • Client onboarding drags. KYC and AML due diligence - trade licences, Emirates IDs, UBO details, screening - is done by hand for every new engagement.

  • Documents live everywhere. Engagement letters, contracts, and precedents get re-drafted from scratch and scattered across drives and inboxes.

  • No single view of the work. Matters, engagements, filing deadlines, and who is free sit in spreadsheets and email, not one place anyone trusts.

WHAT WE BUILD

Systems for professional services.

Client and matter CRM

One system for contacts, proposals, and live matters or engagements - with conflict checks and confidentiality walls built in, so nothing gets taken on that shouldn't be. Partners see the pipeline, the work, and what's at risk in one place.

Document automation

Generate engagement letters, contracts, and NDAs from your own templates, and have AI pull the key clauses, dates, and obligations out of incoming documents for review. English or Arabic, every answer traceable to the source, with a person confirming the calls that count.

Onboarding and due diligence

A guided intake that collects trade licences, Emirates IDs, and UBO details, runs screening, and keeps a clean, auditable record - the kind DNFBP AML obligations and goAML reporting expect. Compliance decisions stay with your MLRO, not a model.

Utilisation and billing

Timesheets, work-in-progress, realisation, and AED invoicing in one dashboard, so partners can see capacity, chase unbilled time, and bill on schedule instead of reconstructing the month by hand.

EXAMPLE USE CASES

What this looks like in practice.

Illustrative scenarios - not completed client projects.

  • An Abu Dhabi law firm could generate engagement letters and NDAs from its own precedents, run a conflict check before taking a matter, and have AI flag unusual clauses in an incoming contract for a lawyer to review.

  • A DIFC management consultancy could run its proposal pipeline, engagement staffing, and utilisation from one CRM - so partners see who is billable, which proposals are stuck, and what's at risk this quarter.

  • A UAE audit and tax firm could automate client onboarding - collecting trade licences, UBO details, and Emirates IDs - and track FTA corporate-tax and VAT filing deadlines across its whole client book in one view.

  • An Abu Dhabi engineering or architecture consultancy could manage engagements, drawings, and document transmittals in one place, with approvals logged and every revision traceable.

  • A recruitment consultancy in the UAE could run candidate and client relationships, placement pipeline, and commission tracking from a single CRM instead of scattered spreadsheets.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do you build CRM specifically for consultancies and advisory firms?

Yes. Professional services runs on relationships and repeat work, so we build CRM around clients, proposals, and live engagements or matters - not a generic sales pipeline. Conflict checks, engagement staffing, utilisation, and billing sit in the same system your team already works in.

Can you automate documents for a law firm?

Yes. We generate engagement letters, contracts, and NDAs from your own templates, and use AI to extract key clauses, dates, and obligations from incoming documents - every answer traceable to the source, with a lawyer confirming anything that matters. Documents can be produced in English or Arabic.

Can it handle KYC and AML obligations for DNFBPs?

We build the onboarding and due-diligence workflow: collecting IDs, trade licences, and UBO details, running screening, and keeping an auditable record ready for goAML reporting. The system supports your compliance team - final AML judgment stays with your MLRO, not a model.

Is client data kept confidential?

Yes. We build with access control, least privilege, and confidentiality walls by default, plus a full audit trail of who saw what. Where client data can't leave your premises, we can deploy and work on-site to match your security requirements.
