What SILQ is
SILQ is browser-based legal practice management software for Australian solicitors and barristers. It keeps client and matter information in one electronic file accessible on any device, with document generation, time and expense tracking, invoicing, and more than 400 regularly updated court forms. iOS and Android apps provide access to matters, tasks, contacts, documents, time entries, calendars, notes, and invoices. Listed integrations include Xero, MYOB, Microsoft Office, OneDrive, SharePoint, Dropbox, Gmail, InfoTrack, iManage, and NetDocuments; provider subscriptions may be separate, and each user authenticates their own account. SILQ states that it is SOC 2 compliant and offers role permissions, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, password policies, activity tracking, and login safeguards.
