If you've ever felt held back by clunky, disconnected software, Yao was built with you in mind. Created by practising lawyers who experienced exactly those frustrations, Yao is a cloud-based legal practice management platform that puts everything you need to run your firm in one simple, elegant system.
The name says it all — Yao stands for "You Are Organised." From the moment you sign up, you get full access to everything: matter management, time recording, billing, accounts, compliance tools, document automation, and custom no-code workflows. There are no add-ons, no hidden extras, and no steep learning curve.
Opening a new matter takes less than a minute. Building a custom workflow requires no coding knowledge. And whether you're managing AML checks, tracking tasks across your team, or chasing outstanding invoices, it all happens in one place. Yao integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Land Registry, Companies House, HMRC, and more.
Switching systems feels daunting, but Yao makes it straightforward — you can migrate in phases, at your own pace, with full support from the team throughout.
Built by lawyers who wanted better. Designed for firms who deserve it.
