Writing about how modern firms actually run.
A small library rather than a content programme. Each piece is written for the people running a firm of one to twenty attorneys, and is meant to be useful whether or not you ever speak to us.
Guides
- Building connected law firm workflows
How work actually moves through a firm, where handoffs break, and six principles for designing workflows that survive contact with a busy week.

- How Makase works with law firms
The implementation approach, from understanding the firm through training every role and improving over time.
Evaluating the alternatives
These pages are published by Makase, so read them with that in mind. We have tried to describe each product the way its own website describes it, to say plainly where another system is the better choice, and to note where we could not verify something rather than filling the gap.
