Your Questions About KanunSoft, Answered
Pricing, compliance, court procedures, trust accounting, security and getting started — the practical questions Nepali law practices ask most, all in one place.
About KanunSoft
Core law practice management, cloud access, and platform capabilities.
What is KanunSoft Law Practice Management Software?
KanunSoft is an all-in-one law practice operating system designed specifically for Nepali advocates, attorneys, and law firms. It brings case tracking, court calendaring (BS+AD), retainer billing, trust accounting, client portals, and document vaults together into one secure platform.
Is KanunSoft cloud-based and accessible from anywhere?
Yes. KanunSoft runs securely in the cloud with zero server installation required. Attorneys can access case files, hearing schedules, and client communications from desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices across Nepal or abroad.
What is the difference between legal practice software and generic CRM or Excel?
Generic CRMs and spreadsheets lack court date tracking (तारेख), limitation deadlines (हदम्याद), Bar Council compliance rules, and retainer trust accounting. KanunSoft is custom-engineered for Nepali legal workflows, ensuring no court dates or billing hours slip through the cracks.
How big does my law firm need to be to use KanunSoft?
KanunSoft scales seamlessly from solo advocates and boutique partnerships (2–5 lawyers) to large enterprise practices (50+ advocates). Its modular structure lets solo practitioners start instantly while supporting multi-branch governance.
Pricing, Free Trial & Billing
Transparent Nepali Rupee pricing, trial access, and subscription terms.
Can I try KanunSoft before subscribing?
Yes! KanunSoft provides a 14-day full-featured free trial with no credit card required. You can test case pipelines, create retainer invoices, set up court dates, and invite your team members immediately.
Are there any hidden or per-module charges?
No. Pricing is strictly transparent. Core capabilities — case management, Bikram Sambat court calendaring, document vault, and client portal — are included in each plan tier without surprise add-on fees.
How much does KanunSoft cost and is pricing in Nepali Rupees (NPR)?
All subscription plans are priced transparently in Nepali Rupees (NPR) with zero foreign currency conversion fees. We offer Starter, Professional, and Firm tiers tailored for solo advocates through multi-partner firms.
Can we upgrade, downgrade, or cancel our plan anytime?
Yes. You have complete flexibility to adjust user seats, switch tiers, or cancel your subscription at any billing interval. Your data remains fully exportable in standard formats at all times.
Bikram Sambat, Court Dates & Tareek
Nepali court procedure, limitation tracking, and automated client alerts.
Does KanunSoft natively support the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar?
Yes. KanunSoft features native, bidirectional Bikram Sambat (BS) and Gregorian (AD) calendar support. Court dates, fiscal years (Shrawan–Ashad), national court holidays, and filing dates all align with Nepali judicial calendars.
Can KanunSoft calculate limitation periods (हदम्याद)?
Yes. Our built-in limitation calculator computes statutory deadlines under the Muluki Civil Code and Muluki Criminal Code, accounting for judicial holidays, court vacations, and notice receipt dates.
How do automated court hearing and tareek reminders work?
Whenever a hearing date (तारेख) or court appearance is scheduled, KanunSoft sends automated notifications via SMS, WhatsApp, and email to responsible lawyers and clients, drastically reducing missed appearances.
Can we track cases across District Courts, High Courts, and the Supreme Court?
Yes. KanunSoft allows you to tag the specific bench, court jurisdiction (District, High Court, Supreme Court, or specialized tribunals like the Debt Recovery Tribunal), judge names, and opposing counsel.
Billing, Trust Accounting & eTDS
Invoicing, retainer trust management, VAT, and IRD tax compliance.
Does KanunSoft handle client advance retainer and trust accounting?
Yes. KanunSoft includes Bar-compliant trust accounting. Client retainers are segregated from operating funds, and invoices draw down from trust balances automatically as fees are earned.
Can clients pay legal bills via Fonepay, eSewa, Khalti, or bank transfer?
Yes. Every invoice generated in KanunSoft can include dynamic Fonepay / NepalPay QR codes and Nepali bank details, allowing clients to settle legal fees instantly from their mobile banking apps.
Does KanunSoft handle VAT, eTDS, and Inland Revenue Department (IRD) compliance?
Yes. All fee invoices calculate standard 13% VAT, applicable withholding tax (TDS), and produce eTDS reports ready for filing directly on the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) portal.
How does billable hour and expense tracking work?
Attorneys can start a 1-click timer or log retrospective billable minutes from phone or desktop. Time entries categorize by matter, hourly rate, or fixed-fee milestones for automated batch invoicing.
Security, Data Privacy & Migration
Confidentiality, encryption, onboarding support, and data migration.
How secure is confidential client and case information in KanunSoft?
We maintain enterprise-grade security with 256-bit AES encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Role-based access controls ensure paralegals, associates, and managing partners view only authorized matters.
Who owns our law firm's legal records and documents?
Your law firm retains 100% ownership of all records, client notes, and uploaded documents. KanunSoft does not sell or mine your data. You can export complete firm archives anytime.
How do we migrate our existing files from Excel, Clio, or paper files?
Our Kathmandu-based onboarding team provides complimentary data migration support. We help import your clients, active matters, court calendars, and billing history from Excel, CSV, or foreign software.
What support is available if we need assistance?
Our local support team is available via direct phone, WhatsApp, email, and live video walkthroughs in Nepal time (NST). Enterprise firms receive a dedicated account manager.
