ContractWorks provides contract repository, e-signing, and milestone tracking for corporate legal teams. Atticus manages your entire Ontario practice — matters, billing, trust accounting, and Canadian AI for all your client files. $149 CAD per lawyer per month.
ContractWorks handles contract repository and milestone management for corporate legal. Atticus manages your practice — from intake and conflict checking through matter management, trust accounting, and Canadian AI for your files.
ContractWorks provides contract repository, e-signing, and milestone tracking for corporate legal teams. Ontario law firms need more: billing, trust accounting, matter management, client intake, and conflict checking. Atticus manages your entire Ontario practice.
ContractWorks is a US-based contract management platform. Atticus is built specifically for Canadian and Ontario legal context — Ontario Limitations Act, LSO By-Law 9 trust accounting rules, Canadian case law references, and LSO AI guidance on using AI in practice.
ContractWorks has no trust accounting module. Ontario lawyers still need separate software for LSO By-Law 9 trust accounting. Atticus includes mixed trust accounts, monthly reconciliation, and trust ledger reporting.
ContractWorks provides automated data extraction and milestone tracking for contracts. Atticus AI reads all documents across your practice — corporate records, agreements, correspondence, wills — extracting limitation period triggers, key dates, and parties regardless of practice area.
ContractWorks is a US-based platform. Atticus stores all Ontario client files and trust records on Canadian servers by default — aligned with Law Society of Ontario guidance on cloud storage of client confidential information.
ContractWorks charges per user for contract management, and Ontario lawyers still need separate practice management, billing, and trust accounting. Atticus is $149 CAD per lawyer per month for the complete Ontario practice platform.
