Start with the basics. The detail on onboarding, daily use and data follows.
The basics
Practice management software for Indian advocates. Your causelist, matters, hearings, drafts, research and invoices sit in one workspace, and every piece is tied to the case's CNR number.
Independent advocates and litigation chambers. A solo practitioner gets a synced causelist, drafting and invoicing in one place; a chamber adds roles for seniors, juniors and clerks.
No. If your practice runs on WhatsApp groups and a printed causelist today, it can run on VakeelOS. Screens follow the way Indian litigation already works.
Sign up at app.vakeelos.com and start your 30-day free trial straight away, with no card needed. Guided onboarding is included.
The 30-day trial needs no card and includes Pro features with 50 AI credits. After the trial, the account moves to Free with 5 tracked cases unless you choose a paid plan. Plans are Free, Practice, Pro and Chambers; larger rollouts are quoted individually. Paid pricing is intentionally unlisted. Contact the team for a current INR quote covering billing period, GST, advocate and clerk seats, tracked cases, storage, AI credits and top-ups, cancellation, and rollout terms before choosing a paid plan.
Getting started
Causelist and CNR sync depend on the court, bench and source portal. A dated, verified court-by-court coverage matrix is not yet published. Ask the team to check your courts during a walkthrough, and verify hearing dates and listings against the official portal before acting.
Most advocates are live within forty minutes. We import a CSV of cases or you start from scratch. The Bar Council verification step takes a single OTP.
Add your Bar Council enrolment and CNR numbers, and case details come in from eCourts. You can also import a CSV of the matters you already have.
Causelist and eCourts CNR workflows are designed for practising advocates. We ask for your Bar Council enrolment details once during onboarding so your court and case records stay correctly attributed.
Day to day
Yes. Causelist and CNR pulls run on a schedule with automatic retries and drift checks. When a court portal is flaky, the failure surfaces quietly in the dashboard, never in your inbox.
Yes, on the Chambers plan. Roles map to how a chamber actually moves: senior, junior, clerk. Each role sees a different default dashboard and can be scoped per case.
The UI ships in English with a Hindi locale toggle. AI Drafter accepts Hindi prompts and produces Devanagari + Roman scripts side-by-side for hybrid filings.
VakeelOS issues net invoices in INR. Advocates can attach their own tax line items as needed. We don't auto-apply GST because most advocates are below the threshold and prefer to opt-in manually.
