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 gets your firm's data out for you. We extract your matters, contacts, documents and time records while your subscription is still active, and hand them back in open formats, ready for whatever you move to. One fixed fee, quoted up front, instead of weeks of your staff's time.

  1. 01

    Before you give notice, book a 30-minute exit review. We list everything that has to come out, and in what order.

  2. 02

    While your subscription is still active, we extract your matters, contacts, documents and time records, so you never lose access to them.

  3. 03

    You get everything in open formats (PDF, Word, CSV), checked against your matter list, plus an import-ready package for whichever system you move to.

we could not access our own data after choosing not to renew our license

[Competitor] makes it purposefully difficult for you to move data around...even basic export techniques were either over-engineered, buggy and dysfunctional

I gave my termination notice well within the first 6-months. They now say I owe them £12k to terminate
