Make every fee earner more productive, not more busy.
Quillio gives Australian practice managers a tool that reduces non-billable hours across the firm — faster research, faster drafting, and less time on admin that does not generate revenue.
Quillio is built to solve the operational problems Australian practice managers face daily — fee-earner utilisation, non-billable time, staff retention, and technology adoption. It integrates with the practice management systems AU firms actually use (Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, ActionStep), reduces the time lawyers spend on research and drafting, and is priced per user with no minimum seats — so you can pilot with one team before rolling out firm-wide.
What gets in the way
The frustrations we hear from practice managers again and again.
Fee-earner utilisation is the number you live by
Every hour a lawyer spends on non-billable research, admin, or rework is an hour that does not generate revenue. Practice managers are measured on utilisation, but the tools to improve it have been limited to time-tracking and reminders.
Technology adoption is harder than technology procurement
Buying software is easy. Getting lawyers to actually use it is the real challenge. Practice managers know that any tool with a steep learning curve or poor integration will sit unused after the first month.
Staff retention depends on work quality
Junior lawyers leave firms where they spend most of their time on low-value tasks. Practice managers who can offer better tools and more interesting work have a retention advantage — but budgets are tight.
PMS integration is non-negotiable
Any tool that does not integrate with the firm's practice management system creates double-handling. Practice managers have seen enough standalone tools that promise integration "on the roadmap" and never deliver.
Built for how practice managers actually work
Measurable impact on non-billable hours
Research that took 3 hours takes 30 minutes. First-draft documents that took 2 hours take 15 minutes. The utilisation impact is measurable from the first month.
Integrates with AU practice management systems
Quillio works inside Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, and ActionStep — the systems Australian firms actually use. No double-handling, no copy-paste between systems.
Lawyers actually adopt it
Quillio is designed for lawyers, not IT departments. The interface is intuitive, the outputs are useful on day one, and it works inside the tools lawyers already have open. Adoption is the metric that matters.
Per-user pricing — pilot before you commit
Published pricing on the website. Start with one practice group on the free trial. Measure the impact. Roll out firm-wide only when the numbers justify it.
AU data sovereignty and compliance
All data stays on Australian infrastructure. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Practice managers can tick the security and privacy boxes without a six-month vendor assessment.
What Quillio does
Research time reduction
Lawyers get answers to AU legal research questions in minutes instead of hours — with source citations they can verify. The utilisation impact is immediate.
First-draft document generation
Letters of advice, contracts, submissions, and correspondence drafted in minutes. Lawyers review and refine rather than starting from scratch.
PMS integration
Works inside Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, and ActionStep. Documents save directly to the matter file. No standalone app, no double-handling.
Voice-to-text for file notes
Lawyers dictate file notes, attendance notes, and time entries. Quillio transcribes and structures them for the PMS — reducing the end-of-day admin backlog.
Document review and risk flagging
Upload contracts, leases, or agreements. Get a plain-English summary and risk flags — reducing the time senior lawyers spend on first-pass review.
Firm-wide usage analytics
See which practice groups are using Quillio, what tasks they are using it for, and where the time savings are concentrated. Data to justify the investment.
From sign-up to fitting your day
Start with a pilot group
Pick one practice group for the free trial. No credit card, no firm-wide commitment. Choose the team most likely to adopt — usually the one complaining most about research time.
Measure the impact
Track utilisation rates, non-billable hours, and matter turnaround times for the pilot group. Compare against the same period last year or against a control group.
Roll out firm-wide
Per-user pricing on the website. Add practice groups as the pilot data justifies expansion. No minimum seats, no multi-year lock-in.
Review firm-wide analytics
Use Quillio's usage data to understand adoption patterns, time savings, and ROI across the firm. Report to partners with numbers, not promises.
Per-user pricing. Free trial. Built for firm-wide rollout.
Quillio is per user per month with published pricing. Practice managers can start with a single practice group on the free trial, measure the utilisation impact, and scale firm-wide with per-user economics that work at any firm size.

How do I measure ROI on Quillio?
The simplest measure is non-billable hours saved per fee earner per week. If a lawyer saves 3 hours a week on research and drafting, and your hourly rate is $400, that is $1,200 per week in recovered capacity per user — against a per-user monthly cost that is a fraction of that. Most practice managers see the ROI in the first billing cycle.
Will lawyers actually use it?
Adoption is the question practice managers rightly ask first. Quillio is designed for lawyers — it works inside the PMS they already use, produces useful outputs on the first task, and does not require training sessions or change management programs. Start with the practice group most likely to adopt and let their results drive firm-wide interest.
Does Quillio integrate with our PMS?
Quillio integrates with Smokeball, LEAP, Clio, and ActionStep — the practice management systems Australian firms actually use. Documents save directly to matter files, and Quillio can access matter context for better outputs.
Can I control which features different users access?
Yes. Quillio supports firm-level administration including user management, feature access controls, and usage monitoring. Practice managers can configure access by practice group or role.
What about data security and client confidentiality?
All data stays on Australian infrastructure. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified. Quillio is designed for law firms handling confidential client information — the security posture satisfies the requirements practice managers and risk partners need to see.
Do we need IT support to set up Quillio?
No. Quillio is cloud-based and requires no on-premise installation. PMS integrations are configured by the user during setup. Most firms are operational within a day — no IT project, no server configuration, no network changes.
Try Quillio on your own work.
For a practice manager, the best first step is a pilot with one practice group. Pick the team with the highest non-billable hours or the loudest complaints about research time. The free trial needs no credit card, no IT involvement, and the utilisation impact is measurable from the first month.
