Practice management for Kenyan advocates
Most practice management is written for firms in other countries and then translated. JurisFlow was built inside a Nairobi practice, against the Advocates (Remuneration) Order, the Advocates (Accounts) Rules and what KRA expects on a fee note.
No sales call needed to find out what it costs. Nothing to install to try it.

Numbered firm-wide with no gaps. Raised by the advocate, issued by the accountant.
Adopted by several firms in Nairobi since January 2026
Why it fits
Each of these names the authority it follows, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
Schedule 1 First and Second Scale and Schedule 2 leases, transcribed from the Gazette. Stamp duty under Cap. 480. A conveyancing estimate an advocate can put in front of a client without recalculating it by hand.
Advocates (Remuneration) Order, LN 35/2014
The client account cannot be overdrawn. Not a warning somebody clicks past: a database rule, proven against back-dated entries and deletions. Office and client money never mix.
Advocates (Accounts) Rules
Firm-wide numbering with no gaps, because a gap is a question you will be asked. The DDN, the proforma and the final fee note as Kenyan firms actually bill, with the advocate raising and the accountant issuing.
KRA, and E-TIMS when it arrives
Safe custody, carton numbers, letters in and out, and a four-step closure that ends with the file registrar. Kenyan practice is still paper-backed and most software pretends otherwise.
How files are really kept
The difference in practice
Software written for firms elsewhere and translated afterwards gets these wrong, and an advocate notices on the first day.
A "hearing date" field
The court gives you a mention, not a hearing. Often four of them before a hearing exists. A Mentions and Directions stage sits after filing on every suit track.
One flat list of matters
Conveyancing, litigation, corporate secretarial, commercial and intellectual property each work differently, and each has its own stages, checklists and sub-types. Fifty of them.
An invoice number that skips when a draft is deleted
Fee note numbers are firm-wide and gap-free, issued at the point the tax invoice is raised and never before.
Charging for every login
We charge for advocates. Charging per seat for clerks is what makes four people share one password, and a shared password is the end of your audit trail.
Land searches as a free-text note
Searches, Land Control Board consent, rates and rent clearance, stamping and registration as tracked steps with dates, because that is the transaction.
What is in it
Twenty-eight modules in production. Every one of them is included in every plan. Nothing is held back for a higher tier.
From the first instruction to the carton in the strongroom.
Built around how Kenyan firms bill, and what the Authority expects.
The work that keeps a practice running, which most systems ignore entirely.
What a partner needs to see, and what a regulator may ask for.
Useful, bounded, and never the final word. An advocate reviews everything.
Pricing
Pupils, clerks, reception, registry and accounts are free and unlimited. Charging per seat for support staff is what makes four people share one password, and a shared password is the end of your audit trail.
A firm with 6 advocates, 2 pupils and 7 support staff
Paid annually, eleven months for twelve. No setup fee.
The demonstration is a whole fictional firm: files in every department, money billed and part paid, a court diary with dates coming up. Open anything, press any button. Nothing in it is real, and anything you add clears after 72 hours.
