The Story

When the two major NZ legal systems were acquired by large multinationals, it left a clear gap for a locally built alternative. OneLaw was created to fill that gap – purpose-built for New Zealand firms and supported by a team that puts its customers first, delivering comprehensive cloud-based legal software backed by excellent training, support and ongoing product innovation.

The Numbers

• 230+ customer firms across Aotearoa with 2,700+ users

• 24% growth in user numbers Oct 2024-2025

• Consistent 98-100% satisfaction rating on support

• Team of 28 (5 new members this year) based across NZ

• Completed 200+ data migrations from other systems

• Headquartered in Ōtautahi Christchurch

Plot Twist

People may assume they're a law firm when they're actually the software that supports them. Their competitors are big global players, yet OneLaw still comes out on top – and most of their sales are referral-based, thanks to genuinely happy customers. Five people on their team have been at OneLaw for over 10 years – they're a close-knit group passionate about what they do.

The Good Stuff

They've built strong relationships with their customers – and having a network of excellent lawyers is definitely a perk. With four software releases this year, they've increased their release frequency to get new features and improvements to customers quicker. In their early startup days, they could have benefited from securing funding sooner, but they now see the power of combining their measured, sustainable growth – a dedicated team with deep legal industry knowledge and close customer partnerships – with significant funding injection.

Hit us up if you're a law firm that wants to excel at the business of law.

From filling a gap left by multinational acquisitions to 230+ customer firms – these Christchurch legends prove that sometimes the best software comes from people who truly understand their customers and put them first.
