Blawby · v. 2026.5Last verified May 7, 2026

Run a law practice, not a software stack.

Blawby is the one place to capture intake, send engagement letters, manage matters, invoice clients, and collect IOLTA-compliant payments. Built for solo attorneys and small law firms.

Fig. 01The Blawby loopIntake → Trust transfer

A solo practice runs on seven tabs, three vendors, and a prayer that the trust math works out.

Intake forms in one tool. Engagement letters in another. Time tracking in a spreadsheet. Invoices in QuickBooks. Card processing that doesn't understand IOLTA. Files in email.

Blawby replaces the stack with one ledger of record — from the first inquiry to the final transfer out of trust.

One ledger from first hello to final transfer.

01Intake

Intake that sounds like you wrote it.

Common objections, answered.

Yes. Trust and operating are separate ledgers per matter, with documented transfers and per-client reconciliation. The card processor recognizes IOLTA accounts so retainers don't get netted against fees.
