Featured Study
Corporate & Commercial
Nairobi CBD Firm · 4 Advocates · Intelligence Plan
From spreadsheets to a
functioning command centre in 72 hours.

A four-advocate corporate and commercial firm was managing client files in shared Google Docs, billing in Excel, and chasing clients for document sign-offs via WhatsApp. Within three days of going live on Akili Suite, every matter had a digital home, clients were accessing their own portal, and invoice drafts were being generated automatically from time entries.

"We spent more time managing our systems than managing our clients. Now the system manages itself - and we get a clear view of everything from a single screen."

Litigation
Westlands Practice · 2 Advocates · Starter Plan
War Room cut pre-hearing coordination time in half.

A two-advocate litigation boutique was losing hours before each hearing coordinating bundles and instructions over WhatsApp. With War Room - Akili Suite's per-matter real-time chat - the whole team is in the same space as the matter file.

"Everything about the matter - bundles, notes, instructions - is in one place. The chat is right next to the file. It sounds simple but it changes everything."
Conveyancing
Thika Road Firm · 3 Advocates · Intelligence Plan
Client document uploads reduced matter opening time by 3 days.

A conveyancing practice was spending 3–5 days at the start of every matter chasing clients for ID copies, title documents, and signed letters of instruction. The client portal's onboarding wizard and document upload flow eliminated the chase entirely.

Client document submission rate
"Clients upload everything through the portal now. By the time we open the file, the documents are already there. It used to take a week just to get started."
Family Law
Karen Practice · 2 Advocates · Essentials Plan
Satisfaction surveys surfaced billing disputes before they became problems.

A family law practice was losing clients without ever understanding why. After enabling Akili Suite's matter-close satisfaction surveys, they discovered that 3 out of 5 departing clients had felt unclear about billing - a problem invisible without structured feedback.

Billing disputes in last 90 days
"We didn't know there was a billing clarity problem until the surveys told us. We fixed our invoice descriptions and the complaints stopped immediately."
Employment Law
Upper Hill Practice · 5 Advocates · Business Plan
Eisenhower task matrix eliminated missed deadlines across a 5-advocate team.

A growing employment law firm was managing deadlines across five advocates using shared calendar reminders and a WhatsApp group. The Eisenhower matrix in Akili Suite's Tasks module gave every advocate a single, prioritised view of what needed doing and when.

"The quadrant view changed how we think about work. Urgent and important is different from important but not urgent - and now everyone on the team sees that distinction in real time."
