VakilOne — Court Case Management SaaS
DG10 built VakilOne from scratch. A court case management SaaS platform for Indian law firms using NestJS, React, and PostgreSQL. Multi-tenant architecture with real-time case tracking and document management.
Why We Built VakilOne
Lawsuits in India move slowly. Not because judges are slow, but because the systems lawyers use to manage cases are stuck in the past. Paper files get lost. Court dates are tracked on spreadsheets or handwritten calendars. Documents pile up with no search function. Law firms in India do not have a modern, purpose-built tool for managing their cases. Existing solutions are either built for US courts or are generic project management tools that do not understand legal workflows. We built VakilOne to solve this.
What VakilOne Actually Does
- Case tracking: Every case gets a dedicated timeline. Lawyers can see upcoming court dates, filing deadlines, and hearing schedules at a glance. The system sends reminders before dates so nothing gets missed.
- Document management: Upload, organize, and search through case documents. No more digging through physical files. Every document is tagged to its case and version-controlled.
- Multi-tenant architecture: Multiple law firms can use VakilOne on the same platform without seeing each other data. Each firm gets their own workspace, their own users, their own settings.
- Real-time notifications: When a court date changes or a document is uploaded, the right people get notified instantly. No more phone calls to check on case status.
- Client portal: Lawyers can share case updates with their clients through a simple portal. Clients see their case timeline and uploaded documents without calling the office every day.
The Technical Stack
We chose NestJS for the backend because it handles complex business logic cleanly. The frontend runs on React, fast, responsive, and easy to maintain. PostgreSQL stores everything. Case data, documents, user permissions, audit logs. The stack was chosen for reliability, not hype. Law firms cannot afford downtime or data loss. Every action in the system is logged. Every document is encrypted. Every user has role-based access controls.
Why Not Use Something Off-the-Shelf
Generic tools like Notion or Trello do not understand legal workflows. US-based legal tech does not handle Indian court systems, filing procedures, or the way Indian law firms operate. VakilOne was built for Indian courts, Indian legal procedures, and the way Indian lawyers actually work. That specificity is what makes it useful rather than just another project management tool.
