The difference

What changes when you leave a legacy system

The same practice, without the constraints your current software puts on it.

On a legacy system · Access

Installed on an office server, so staff have to be in the building or remote in with tools like AnyDesk just to log in.

With CaseVault

Open a browser from any office, the courthouse or home. Nothing to install, nothing to remote into.

On a legacy system · Permissions

No sign-in and no user roles, so anyone at the machine can see and change everything.

With CaseVault

Named accounts with role-based access, so each person sees what their role needs and nothing more.

On a legacy system · Accountability

No detailed audit log, so when something goes wrong there is no clear record of who did what, or when.

With CaseVault

Every change is automatically recorded in a detailed audit log, showing exactly who made the change and when it occurred.

On a legacy system · Everyday screens

Cluttered, dated screens where routine tasks take far more clicks than they should.

With CaseVault

Screens built around provincial offence work, so the things you do fifty times a day are the fast ones.

On a legacy system · Trust money

Trust balances kept in a separate program or a spreadsheet, and reconciled by hand each month.

With CaseVault

Trust ledgers, client trust listings and monthly reconciliation sit beside the file they belong to.

On a legacy system · Multiple offices

A second office means a second database, or everyone working through one location.

With CaseVault

Offices are built in, each with its own file numbering, letterhead and reporting.

The platform

Everything you need to run a modern law practice

One system for clients, court dates, documents and money, built around the way Ontario offices actually work.

Unified client and case files

Every client, file, case, document and note in one view, with the whole matter history attached rather than spread across folders.

Court dates and calendar

Court appearances, deadlines and tasks on a shared calendar, with bulk scheduling for a whole court date and export to your own calendar.

Documents and templates

Generate retainers, notices, disclosure requests and disposition letters on your office letterhead, filled from the file and produced in bulk.

Trust and general accounting

Separate trust and general ledgers, client trust listings, monthly reconciliation, disbursements, invoicing and balance owing.

Permissions and audit trail

Named accounts with role-based access, so people see what their role needs, and an audit log recording every change and who made it.

Built for multiple offices

Offices are a first-class concept: their own file numbering, letterhead and reporting, with one unified view across the firm.

Case types

Built for the matters Ontario offices actually run

Provincial offence work is modelled properly rather than squeezed into a generic matter record, with the rest of your caseload alongside it.

Provincial Offences Act

Deepest coverage

Traffic and Highway Traffic Act matters

Traffic and provincial offence work, modelled properly instead of squeezed into a generic matter record.

  • Offence sections and offence wordings, with set fines and suggested fees
  • Demerit points and CVOR points tracked per offence
  • Victim fine surcharge calculated from the fine amount
  • ICON court and offence codes linked to courts, and officers.
  • Courts, prosecutors, judges and officers as reusable records
  • Disclosure requests and receipts tracked end to end
  • Early resolution and trial dates with bulk scheduling
  • Dispositions that drive the disposition letters you send clients

Landlord and Tenant

Residential tenancy matters kept alongside the rest of your caseload.

  • Client, file and case records with your own file-number scheme
  • Hearing dates and deadlines on the shared calendar
  • Document storage with full audit history
  • Trust and general accounting on the same ledger as every other matter
  • Conflicts check before you open the file

Small Claims

Civil claims with the billing and document trail attached.

  • Matter tracking from intake through to disposition
  • Invoicing, balance owing and payment plans
  • Trust deposits, disbursements and refunds
  • Court dates, tasks and call history in one place
  • Retainers and engagement letters generated from the file

Criminal

Criminal matters handled with the same records, documents and accounting.

  • Client and case records with role-based access control
  • Disclosure tracking and document management
  • Court appearances on the firm-wide calendar
  • Trust accounting that meets your record-keeping obligations
  • Full audit log of who changed what, and when

Not on the list? Add your own.

Case types are your firm's own list, not a fixed menu. Add a new one right from the case you are opening, and it is there for your whole office the next time.

  • Create a case type in seconds, without waiting on support
  • Private to your firm, never shared with other offices
  • Works with the same documents, calendar and accounting
Documents

27 standard templates, plus your own

Retainers, court forms, disclosure requests, disposition letters and receipts, filled from the file and generated on your office letterhead.

Filled from the file, not retyped

Client, case, court and office details merge straight from the record. Change the file number once and every document that references it is correct.

Your letterhead, per office

Multi-office firms get the right address, logo and header layout on every document, chosen from the office that owns the case.

Generate in bulk

Produce notices of trial, disposition letters, offer letters, adjournment letters and disclosure requests for a whole court date in one pass.

Custom documents built for you

Send us the forms your office already uses. We rebuild them as CaseVault templates and deploy them to your firm, so they generate with your data and your branding.

Retainers and engagement

Everything you send a client when you open the file.

Migration

We move your history for you

You don’t upload anything. Our team runs your migration from HTA Pro, MS Access or another system, and you see exactly what came across before anything goes live.

HTA Pro

The system most Ontario traffic and paralegal offices are leaving. We have migrated firms off it repeatedly and know where its data hides.

MS Access databases

Any Access front end or .mdb file, including the heavily customised ones that grew over a decade.

Other practice management systems

Spreadsheets, legacy server databases and other case management tools. If you can get the data out, we can map it in.

1

We audit your system and take a full copy

We go through your HTA Pro setup to establish exactly what you are holding, then take a complete copy of both the database and your document storage. Nothing changes on your side and your office keeps working as normal throughout.

2

We map your data to CaseVault

Your fields, offices, staff, file-number prefixes and postfixes, and your lookup lists are mapped to the CaseVault model. Every firm is different, so every migration gets its own mapping.

3

We run a full dry run

Your entire history is imported into a private staging environment first. Clients, cases, court dates, documents, trust transactions, payments and reconciliations, all of it. Nothing touches your live system.

4

You review a verification report

Per-entity record counts, orphaned-record checks and business sanity checks are collected into a report you sign off on. You see exactly what came across before you commit.

5

We go live only once you approve

The live run is gated on your sign-off, and the tooling itself refuses to start one until a dry run has completed successfully. You choose the cutover window, so the switch happens when your office is ready rather than on our schedule.

6

Every record stays traceable

Each migrated record keeps a link back to its original identifier in your old system, so any client, case or transaction can be traced to its source. Every action is written to an audit log.

Security and hosting

Built on AWS for security, reliability, and scale

Your clients’ files and your trust records sit on enterprise infrastructure, in Canada, with the controls you would expect to have to ask for.

Your data stays in Canada

CaseVault runs in Canadian AWS data centres. For a practice holding client confidences and trust records, where the data physically sits is a question worth a straight answer.

  • Stored in Canadian AWS data centres
  • Helps keep client information in Canada
  • Supports local privacy and professional requirements

Security by design

Encryption in transit, network isolation and automated backups, on infrastructure that is patched and monitored rather than sitting under a desk.

High availability

Built for minimal downtime with redundancy, automated backups and continuous monitoring, so the system is there on a busy court morning.

Scales with your firm

Add users, offices and documents without a slowdown. Document storage runs on Amazon S3, so growth is a capacity question rather than a migration.

About CaseVault

Built for Canadian practices, with the firms that run them

CaseVault exists to replace legacy systems like HTA Pro with software designed the way Ontario law firms and paralegal offices actually work today.

User experience first

Screens designed with the people who used HTA Pro every day. Fewer clicks, clearer workflows and plain language, so your team is productive in the first week rather than the first quarter.

Data you can trust

Clients, cases, documents and money kept structured and in sync, on Canadian infrastructure. Role-based access controls who sees what, and a detailed audit log records every change and who made it.

Long-term partnership

We build alongside your firm rather than selling a licence and moving on. Regular updates, responsive support, transparent pricing, and a direct line to the team that writes the software.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The things Ontario offices ask us most often, about migration, trust accounting, multiple offices and support.

Still have a question?

Ask us directly. We will answer honestly, including when the answer is that CaseVault is not the right fit.

support@casevault.ca

CaseVault supports Provincial Offences Act (POA) matters, Criminal, Landlord and Tenant, and Small Claims cases. The POA side is the deepest: offence sections and wordings, set fines and suggested fees, demerit and CVOR points, victim fine surcharge, ICON court codes, disclosure tracking and dispositions are all modelled directly, because that is the work most Ontario paralegal offices do every day.
