    Switch to Matterly from HTA Pro, Clio, PracticePanther or CosmoLex

    We've completed full migrations for Ontario paralegal practices leaving desktop software and general-purpose legal clouds. Your clients, matters, documents and ledgers come with you — handled by our team, at no extra cost.

    Included with your plan Zero downtime cutover LSO-compliant records

    Migrations we run every month

    Every platform exports data differently. Here's what moves across from each one.

    HTA Pro to Matterly

    Desktop legacy software

    The most common migration we run. Matterly replaces HTA Pro with cloud-based Highway Traffic Act case management — same workflows, no server to maintain.

    • Client and matter records
    • Full case history and notes
    • Documents and generated forms
    • Court dates and deadlines

    Clio to Matterly

    General-purpose legal cloud

    Built for lawyers, priced for firms. Paralegals move to Matterly for Ontario-specific forms, HTA and LTB workflows, and CAD pricing without per-feature add-ons.

    • Contacts and matters
    • Activities, time entries and bills
    • Documents and folder structure
    • Custom fields mapped to Matterly

    PracticePanther to Matterly

    US-first practice management

    We import your PracticePanther export and rebuild it inside Matterly with Ontario paralegal templates, LSO-compliant trust ledgers, and tribunal-ready forms.

    • Contacts, matters and tags
    • Tasks and calendar events
    • Time entries and invoices
    • Document library

    CosmoLex to Matterly

    Accounting-led practice management

    Trust accounting is the hard part of leaving CosmoLex. We migrate your trust and general ledgers into Matterly with balances intact and a full audit trail.

    • Trust and general ledger balances
    • Client and matter records
    • Invoices and payment history
    • Documents and attachments

    How the migration works

    1. Free migration audit

    We review your current system, data volume, and practice areas, then confirm exactly what moves across.

    2. Data export and mapping

    Our team pulls your export, maps every field to Matterly, and runs a test import you can review before go-live.

    3. Go-live with zero downtime

    We cut over outside business hours. Your old system stays readable until you've signed off on the new one.

    4. Onboarding and support

    Team training, template setup, and a dedicated contact for the first 30 days after your migration.

    Migration FAQ

    Which platforms can Matterly migrate from?

    We regularly migrate Ontario paralegal practices from HTA Pro, Clio, PracticePanther and CosmoLex. If you're on another system, or on spreadsheets and local folders, we can almost always work from a standard export.

    Will I lose any data?

    No. We migrate clients, matters, case history, documents, calendar entries, invoices and trust ledger balances. You review a test import before anything goes live.

    How long does a migration take?

    Most migrations complete within one business day once we have your export. Larger practices with heavy document libraries may take two to three days, all handled outside your working hours.

    Does migration cost extra?

    No. Migration and onboarding are included with your Matterly subscription, and you still get the full 30-day free trial to confirm everything looks right.

    Can you migrate trust accounting records from CosmoLex?

    Yes. Trust and general ledger balances transfer with their transaction history so your records stay complete and LSO-compliant after the switch.
