Case management software for advocates in Kenya
Every matter in one file, every court date in one diary, and reminders that go out on their own. Built for how Kenyan advocates actually run their cases.
Every matter, organised the way advocates work
A Yawakili file holds everything about a case, so anyone on the team can pick it up and know exactly where it stands.
Parties and their roles
Every party to the matter recorded on the file with their role, so you only pick that file's parties for activities.
Court and case type
The court, case type and standing of each matter, searchable and shared with your team.
Attendance dockets
A record of every court attendance and what happened, alongside remarks from the team.
Bring-ups
Bring-up dates on files and documents, so follow-ups never depend on someone remembering.
Documents per file
Pleadings, contracts and correspondence in each file's folders, allocated to colleagues with email alerts.
Excel import
Bring your current matters in from Excel instead of typing them in again.
A court calendar the whole firm trusts
Hearings, mentions, rulings, deadlines, mediation, calls and site visits all go into one shared diary, each with its own colour. There are 16 activity types in all.
Activities belong to files, so you only pick that file's parties, and email reminders go to staff and clients before the event. No more relying on a paper diary at the front desk.
- 16 colour-coded activity types
- Reminders by email to staff and clients
- Every activity linked to its file
- The week's activities on the dashboard
From new instruction to fee note
Case management in Yawakili connects to the rest of the firm: the work on the file flows straight into billing and payment.
See the whole systemOpen the file
Add the parties, court and case type when the instruction comes in, so the whole team sees it.
Diary every date
Put hearings, mentions and bring-ups in the court diary. Reminders go out by email before each one.
Keep documents on the file
Upload pleadings and correspondence to the file's folders and allocate them to colleagues.
Bill and get paid from the file
Raise a fee note, sign it digitally and send the client an M-Pesa prompt. The payment records itself on the matter.
A capable junior for every matter
On the Business package, the AI legal assistant summarises a matter before a meeting, answers questions about a long document, reads scanned documents, pulls deadlines into the diary and helps you prepare for a hearing. It stays off until your firm switches it on, feature by feature.
