We drive LEAP. You practice law.
A remote legal team that works inside your practice management software, so the administration of your firm stops living inside your day.
The people on your files
What we drive inside them
- Matter administration
- Time recording
- Invoicing on the office ledger
- Disbursements and debtors
- Matter status reporting
We are the remote drivers of LEAP Legal.
Not a bureau that exports to you and not a call centre with a legal script. Our people open the matter in your LEAP, record the time against it, raise the invoice from it and chase the debtor on it, using your firm’s conventions, on your file, every day.
Xero or MYOB carries the firm’s own accounting, and the office ledger is where we work. Trust accounting stays inside the firm, and we work alongside it rather than inside it.
We are in LEAP, Xero and MYOB every day, in your instance, to your firm’s conventions. We are not resellers and we do not sell you licences.
LEAP, Xero and MYOB are trade marks of their respective owners. Seed Legal Assist is an independent provider and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a partner of any of them.
Thirty-nine services. Four disciplines. One team that already knows your software.
Remote Practice Support
Your LEAP driven daily, alongside the Xero or MYOB it feeds. Matters administered, time recorded, invoices raised, disbursements and debtors managed, so the reporting at the end of the month is already true.

Real people, inside your practice.
Seed has provided virtual receptionists since 2014, and today covers Australian and New Zealand business. Seed Legal Assist is the part built for firms, staffed by people trained in legal process and legal software rather than handed a script and a phone.
That distinction is the whole thing. Somebody reading from a script can take a message. Somebody who knows what a matter is, what a disbursement is, and why a limitation date is not a suggestion, can take the call, open the file and deal with it before it reaches you.
They work in your system, to your conventions, under your supervision. We are support, not a firm. We do not give legal advice and we do not act for your clients.
Your matters are run by someone who knows them. So is your phone. Clients will swear we sit down the hall.
Most firms do not need more staff. They need the work that never reached a lawyer to stop reaching a lawyer.
The admin grows before the practice does. It arrives in pieces, none of them big enough on their own to justify a hire, and it lands on whoever has a clear hour. Usually that is a solicitor, and usually it is the hour that was set aside for the work clients actually pay for.
Hiring solves it eventually. It also takes months, costs a salary, and produces somebody who still has to learn LEAP and learn your firm before they are any use. Most firms call us at the point where the problem is real and the hire is not yet justified.
They are not buying hours. They are buying a month that closes with the time written up, the bills out, the disbursements on the right side of the ledger and the debtors chased. That is the difference between a practice that knows what it earned and one that finds out later.
