Case management for law firms in Oman

• You

  Type the client's and the opponent's names.

  Nizro

  It runs the conflict search across your matters' parties and your clients, forgiving hamza and taa marbuta, and writes the result into the file.

• You

  Record the hearing's outcome and the next date.

  Nizro

  It books the next hearing with the same court, the same room and the same lawyer.

• You

  Record the judgment.

  Nizro

  It starts the deadline of its own court, leaves out the day of the judgment, and runs past a holiday to the first working day.

• You

  Type a citation such as 41/2024 art. 56.

  Nizro

  It shows the article's text as published, and says so plainly when no article matches.

• You

  Record your time and what you did.

  Nizro

  It bills it on an invoice in one tap of yours, and the unbilled work drops to zero.

What a law firm gets

• One screen, and a conflict check on both sides

  A matter takes its number from your own document series and opens on a single screen that needs no long scroll.

  • A fixed strip carrying the client, the opponent, the court and the responsible lawyer
  • Two tiles for the next hearing and the nearest deadline with the days left
  • A line of four money figures, then one timeline of hearings, documents, time entries, invoices, payments and held money, with everything else in folded cards
  • Before the file is opened the conflict search runs on two names rather than one, the client and the opponent
  • It searches case parties, customers and sales leads, and forgives Arabic spelling, so a name written without its hamza still matches
  • The verdict is written into the timeline either way, and proceeding past a hit asks for a written reason that stays on the file

• A hearing is a record, and each judgment starts its own clock

  A session is recorded with its court, room, judge and attending lawyer, and afterwards with its outcome.

  • The outcome: held, adjourned, reserved for judgment, judgment pronounced, struck or settled
  • Enter the next date with the outcome and that session books itself, same court, same room, same lawyer
  • A judgment pronounced starts the window belonging to the court it was given in: 30 days to appeal a primary judgment, 40 days to move to cassation after an appeal judgment, and 15 days to object to a payment order
  • Each rule carries the article it rests on, and all of them are records the firm owns and edits
  • Oman's court levels, circuits, stages and statutory deadline rules arrive with the office rather than waiting for a click

• Deadlines counted the way a court counts them

  The day of the event itself does not count, and when the last day falls on a holiday the window runs to the first working day after it.

  • The system knows your weekend and the court holidays the office enters in its settings, so the date on screen is not quietly shorter or longer than the real one
  • Correct the judgment's date and the clock moves with it; void the event and its clock goes too
  • The week ahead sits in the court diary, Sunday to Thursday in columns, filtered to one lawyer's list, and printable

• The law reference and the law pulse

  Omani legislation sits inside the system, article by article, searched three ways: by a word, by a question in ordinary language, or by a citation typed straight in such as 41/2024 art. 56.

  • What you read is the article as published, never the system's wording, and when nothing matches it says so rather than inventing an answer
  • Copy the citation in one click, pin the article to a matter, and let the office write its own note on it
  • Beside it runs the law pulse, the latest decrees, ministerial decisions and regulations, with a red badge on anything amending a law pinned to one of your open matters
  • The library holds what has been indexed into it, the Official Gazette remains the authority, and every law carries a link to its source

• Money: a written agreement, time that bills, costs that come back

  A lawyer's fee is due under a written agreement, and the money goes through the firm's ordinary invoice, so there is one numbering series and one debtors ledger.

  • Every matter carries a fee agreement card in six shapes: hourly, fixed, staged, retainer, success fee and mixed
  • The office can require a signed agreement before anything is billed
  • Time is logged with the narrative that makes it billable, then billed onto an invoice in one press, dropping the unbilled figure to zero; void that invoice and the hours come back by themselves
  • Recoverable disbursements become an invoice with no VAT in one press, because money paid as the client's agent is not a supply from you to them
  • Client money is held as a liability on the customer advances account, with a register showing what the office holds against what actually sits in its named client account and the shortfall in red
  • Plainly said: there is no automated three way reconciliation

• The office in numbers and the advocate's roll grade

  Six screens for a partner.

  • Utilisation and realisation per fee earner
  • Unbilled work and receivables per matter with the oldest unbilled date
  • The docket by court and circuit with twelve months of opened against closed
  • The next thirty days in court
  • The running statutory clocks
  • What is about to expire: wakalas, lawyer licences, the office licence and the professional liability insurance
  • Staff records carry the advocate's roll grade under the Advocacy Law (Royal Decree 41/2024)
  • The system refuses to hand a matter to an expired licence or to a roll grade that does not reach the court, both when the file is opened and when its court is set
