Your client files should never be held hostage by your practice software

For independent solicitor practices and small law firms whose legal practice management platform makes it difficult — or expensive — to get your own data back when you leave.

Founding members get early access and a locked-in founding price.

What people are putting up with today

  • Firms report being blocked from the system after choosing not to renew, with no way to access their own client data.

  • Basic data export is deliberately hard to use — some firms describe weeks of full-time manual work just to get their files out.

  • Even after giving proper termination notice, some firms are told they owe a five-figure exit fee to leave.

How Portwell works

Portwell is legal practice management built around one promise: guaranteed, no-cost data export and no exit fees. Your client files stay yours, on your terms.

  1. 01

    Run your practice in Portwell: matters, clients and documents in one place.

  2. 02

    Export everything whenever you like, in open formats, with one click and no fee.

  3. 03

    Leave on your terms. No exit fees, no lock-out, no chasing anyone for your own files.

Real reviews of the tools people use today

Not reviews of Portwell — it isn't available yet. These are why we're building it.

we could not access our own data after choosing not to renew our license
LEAP reviewer (Trustpilot)
Leap makes it purposefully difficult for you to move data around...even basic export techniques were either over-engineered, buggy and dysfunctional
Dean Brooke (Trustpilot)
I gave my termination notice well within the first 6-months. They now say I owe them £12k to terminate
