Enquiries lost before follow-up
Client enquiries from calls, WhatsApp, and referrals get lost before anyone follows up or qualifies them.
Trusted by 192+ Legal businesses across India

A law practice is a calendar of dates and a list of relationships. A matter opens, hearings land in someone's diary, and a retainer invoice goes out when somebody remembers. When that lives in diaries, WhatsApp and spreadsheets, a deadline is missed and a fee sits unpaid for months.
CIPHER CRM for legal keeps client enquiries, matters, hearing dates, document deadlines, retainer invoices and follow-ups in one place your firm can see. A reminder reaches the right person before each hearing. See the version built for law firms, advocates and compliance advisors.

If a few of these sound like your chambers, the problem is not your team. Enquiries, hearing dates, fee dues and matter notes live across WhatsApp, diaries and paper files, with no one place to run the practice from.
Client enquiries from calls, WhatsApp, and referrals get lost before anyone follows up or qualifies them.
Hearing dates, filing deadlines, and court dates are tracked in personal diaries - reminders get missed when the associate is out.
Retainer invoices and fee collections are handled by hand, leading to delayed payments and awkward follow-ups.
No single view of which matters are active, which are pending action, and which clients have gone cold.
Business development - alumni outreach, referral follow-ups, and seminar leads - falls off when billable work spikes.
When a senior associate or partner leaves, all client history, rate agreements, and matter context leaves with them.
What changes the day your legal practice moves onto CIPHER CRM.
Enquiries logged in personal WhatsApp and forgotten by end of week
Every enquiry in one list, assigned to the right associate with a follow-up date
Hearing dates tracked in paper diaries that nobody else can read
Hearings and deadlines on the firm calendar, with a reminder for whoever is handling each one
Retainer invoices raised manually, payments chased over phone
Retainer invoices with GST on each line, and an Overdue flag on anything unpaid past its due date
Partners wait until the monthly meeting to see practice revenue and pipeline
A progress board of matters by stage, invoice statuses, and a monthly payments ledger, any time
Business development stops the moment a new file comes in
Referral leads with a source and a reminder, so BD calls still happen in a busy week

Inside the High Court there is hardly any network. I type the next date on my phone's browser anyway, and my senior sees it once I step out.
Fee proposals went back and forth in long email chains, and nobody was sure which version the client had agreed to. Their legal head now accepts the final one from a link.
Most of our bank panel work is title searches for home loans. When I set an enquiry's source to bank panel, our standard checklist comes with it: sale deed, Index II, share certificate, tax receipts. Every search now starts from the same list, whichever advocate takes it.
When our senior associate moved to Delhi, I was worried about her factory clients. Her call notes and settlement drafts stayed on each client's record, so the new associate picked up the conciliations where she left off.
Our clients usually pay part of the fee when we file the GST appeal and the balance after the hearing. In CIPHER the invoice shows Partially Paid after that first cheque, and once the due date goes by it is flagged Overdue, so I know whose balance to chase.
A divorce or custody file holds things a family would not tell even their own relatives. Our juniors can open only the cases assigned to them.
Ten ways CIPHER CRM helps Indian legal practices win more mandates and run more efficiently.
Enquiries from your website contact form land on their own, and calls, emails and referrals take seconds to add, so every prospective client sits in one list with an owner and never waits for a response.
Rename Projects to Matters and move every client matter through stages you set - engagement, active, pending judgement, closed - on a list or a progress board, with tasks, papers and dates on each one so nothing falls between the cracks.
Put hearing dates, court deadlines, regulatory filings, and statutory compliance dates on the matter as tasks with a due date and time, and set a reminder for whoever is handling it. Every date also shows on the firm's calendar, so a colleague can cover when the associate is out.
Raise retainer invoices and ad-hoc fee bills in rupees with GST on each line, record full or partial payments, and see what has been paid and what is overdue. The client opens the invoice from a share link, sees the balance, and downloads the receipt.
Every matter gets its own team chat thread the moment it is opened. Record each call and meeting note there or as a private note, add a reminder for the next step from the chat, and drop files in so they land in the matter's attachments.
Track seminars, bar association leads, alumni referrals, and online enquiries as leads with their own source, so your practice keeps growing even when the team is deep in billable work.
Keep every client contact, matter history, engagement letter, rate agreement, and internal note in one searchable place, and decide who can open what. An associate can be limited to only the matters they own.
Pick the lead source and a starter checklist attaches itself to the new enquiry - conflict check, ID proof, engagement letter, first consultation. Each item can go to a named person, and the row shows how much is done.
Give each client a branded web portal with your logo. Share the orders and papers you choose with one switch, show their matter and its status, and let them message your team in a support chat kept apart from your internal discussion.
Associates open CIPHER CRM in the phone browser to update a matter, log a client call, or set a reminder from the courtroom or a client site. If the signal drops in the court building, it keeps working and updates itself when you are back online.
Twenty capabilities that cover the full client enquiry-to-retained-matter journey.
Website forms feed enquiries in; calls, email, and referrals take seconds to add.
Track every matter through customisable stages from enquiry to closure.
Reminders for your team ahead of court dates, filings, and compliance deadlines.
Raise retainer and matter invoices in rupees with GST on each line.
Hearings, task due dates, and reminders on one month or week view.
Record conflict checks at intake on a checklist to protect your firm.
A team chat thread on every matter, opened automatically.
Searchable client and matter records with full interaction history.
Attach engagement letters, briefs, and orders to each matter record.
Runs in any browser and keeps working on a weak court-building signal.
Track seminar leads, alumni referrals, and online enquiries by source.

File registrations and licences by type, with expiry dates and a past-due flag.
Personal notes on any matter that your teammates cannot see.
Keep another office or practice apart under the same login, with its own team and logo, and switch in one click.

Question: 1
Yes. CIPHER CRM is built for Legal businesses in India and is used by 192+ companies across the country. It brings your enquiries, follow-ups, quotations, and payments into one place, with follow-up reminders and a CRM your team can open in the browser from anywhere.
Pipelines, fields, and lead sources are configured for how legal teams actually sell and serve customers - so you are not forced into a generic sales template.
Question: 2
A CRM keeps every legal enquiry - from online enquiry forms, calls and walk-ins - in one list, gives each one an owner, and reminds them to follow up, so nothing slips through the cracks and owners see every lead's status update live as the team works.
Question: 3
For most Legal businesses in India, CIPHER CRM is the strongest fit - it is India-first, ready for a weak signal, flat-priced with no per-user fees, and configured for legal workflows. Always compare options against your own requirements first.
CIPHER CRM: India-first, works on a weak signal, flat pricing, live in 1-3 days.
Question: 4
Not as a built-in chat today. Every lead and contact row has a one-click WhatsApp button that opens the chat, and legal teams log each conversation as a follow-up on the record, with a name and a date on the next step.
Every promise and reply stays on the customer's record, so the full history is there for whoever picks up the phone next. A WhatsApp-style messaging tab is in development.
Question: 5
CIPHER CRM uses simple flat pricing with no per-user fees, so you can add your whole legal team without the bill climbing. Exact pricing depends on your team size and needs and is shared on a quick demo call - call +91 97122 00017.
Two plans - Flexi and Growth - both include unlimited staff and clients.
Question: 6
Getting started takes 1-3 days. Book a free demo and our India-based team configures your pipeline, imports your existing leads and customers for free, and trains your staff - so you go live ready to sell.
No technical skills needed - setup and data migration are handled for you.
A growing Legal business in India, running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp across a small team.
Enquiries were scattered across phones and chats, follow-ups were missed, and the owner had no clear view of the pipeline, payments, or team performance.
They moved to CIPHER CRM with free data migration - every enquiry in one list, follow-up reminders with a name and a date, branded quotations, and invoices that show what is paid and what is overdue.
Within weeks, follow-ups stopped slipping and the team responded noticeably faster - turning more of the same enquiries into paying customers.
Founders bring us work in pieces, an ESOP plan this month and a seed round that may or may not close. On the CIPHER board each mandate moves from first call to engagement letter, and the fee total under each stage tells me roughly what should come in.
Corporate clients kept ringing our front desk for a copy of the last order. Their legal team now opens the orders we share on our firm's portal.
Every trademark bill has the Registry's official fee, which carries no GST, and our professional fee, which does. In CIPHER CRM I set the tax line by line, so GST sits only on our fee.
In AGM season each client gets a task in CIPHER for its ROC work, with a checklist of forms and registers and a colleague's name on every item. From the task list I can see how far each company has got without opening any of them.
Rent agreements get stuck when an owner reaches the sub-registrar without his Aadhaar copy. Each agreement is now a task with reminders for the stamp paper and registration date, and its checklist shows which ID papers are missing, so my clerk calls the parties a day ahead.
We do contract review for a London law firm and a few Indian companies. The London firm is billed in pounds, the Indian ones in rupees.
A missed mediation sitting means getting both parties and their counsel together again. Every sitting goes on the CIPHER calendar with a reminder the day before.
Fraud work means train fares out to a client's branches and stacks of photocopied ledgers, and every rupee of it gets billed back. My team enters each receipt against the client while still on site, so when I raise the invoice I just filter that client's expenses.
Getting papers out of trustees takes call after call, the signed trust deed first, then everyone's ID proofs. I log what they promise on the enquiry and set the next date. The reminder finds me that morning.
Most legal teams lose more deals to slow follow-up than to price. A CRM that reminds you to follow up, with a name and a date on every next step, often pays for itself before anything else.
Client and matter data travels over HTTPS between your team and CIPHER CRM, keeping confidential information protected.
Limit an associate to only the matters they own, and switch off a leaving staffer's sign-in instantly.
Partners, associates, and support staff see only what their job role allows - protecting client confidentiality.
Your client database and matter records are backed up regularly so nothing is permanently lost.
Evaluate any Legal CRM against these criteria - CIPHER CRM is built to meet each one.
Choose a CRM built for how Indian legal teams actually work - with rupee billing and GST on every line built in, not added on later.
Avoid per-user fees that punish you for growing. Flat pricing lets you add your whole team for one predictable cost.
Look for free data migration and go-live in days, not months, so you see value almost immediately.
Your legal team works on the move, so make sure the CRM opens on any phone and keeps working when the signal drops, instead of losing what they typed.
Generic CRMs make you build everything from scratch. Pick one already configured for legal pipelines and stages.
Choose a partner with India-based support in Hindi and English who understands your business and your timezone.
Confirm encryption in transit, access by job role, regular backups, and sensible data handling before trusting a CRM with customer data.
