Overview
Centerbase provides cloud-based practice management software for mid-sized law firms, integrating matter management, timekeeping, document management, workflow automation, and a full accounting system with live bank feeds. It is accessed via role-based subscription plans, enabling work from client intake to final invoicing. The platform differentiates itself by targeting firms moving from legacy on-premises systems and by including profitability reporting, plus an end-to-end client lifecycle through acquisitions like Family Law Software and Legalfit. Its goal is to give mid-sized firms a flexible, cloud-based system that covers the entire client lifecycle with sophisticated functionality.
