Lawcus – New Features August 2025
7th August 2025
- Clearer Trust & Credit Balance Visibility: Firms can now enforce mandatory entry of Matter and Description when logging Fees, Costs, or Expenses. This allows administrators to control whether users must select a Matter and/or enter a Description before submitting Fees, Costs, or Expenses. These settings are optional and are disabled.
- Fund Application Limited to Available Balances: We’ve upgraded trust and operating fund management to ensure transactions never exceed the actual available balance — at both the Client and Matter level. Whether you’re withdrawing, transferring, or applying payments, Lawcus now automatically limits the applied amount to the funds on hand in the relevant Trust or Operating account. If an entered amount exceeds the available balance, the system intelligently adjusts it to the maximum allowable, preventing negative balances and safeguarding financial integrity.
