Why It Matters

Why Software Quality Is Critical for Law Firms

Legal billing, matter management, and client data systems are the operational backbone of a law firm. A failed implementation or broken integration does not just slow things down. It risks client billing errors, compliance exposure, and firm reputation.

Billing Accuracy

Billing errors cost firms revenue and client relationships

Every calculation, rate table, and time entry must be validated against the source of truth. A single misconfiguration in a billing rule can silently compound across thousands of transactions before anyone notices.

Data Migration Risk

Moving years of client data is a single-point-of-failure

A migration error can mean lost matters, billing gaps, or broken client records. Row-level validation is not optional. It is the only way to confirm that the data coming out matches what went in.

Integration Breakdowns

Every integration touchpoint is a potential failure point

Legal platforms connect to accounting systems, CRM tools, document management, and court filing portals. Every touchpoint must be tested end-to-end, not assumed to work because individual components pass in isolation.

Regulatory Exposure

Misconfigurations during implementation carry serious risk

Firms handle privileged client data under strict confidentiality obligations. Security gaps introduced during a platform rollout (misconfigured access controls, unencrypted exports, stale test data in production) are not theoretical. They happen, and they are expensive.

How We Work

How STS Tests Legal Technology

Three core capabilities purpose-built for legal platform implementations and ongoing release cycles.

Data Migration & Conversion Validation

Row-level validation of migrated and converted client, matter, time, and billing data. We cross-reference source and target systems field by field across full system conversions and incremental migrations.

Implementation & UAT Testing

Embedded QA throughout go-live. We build test plans, run UAT cycles, validate integrations, and deliver a signed-off release report. Your stakeholders get a defensible record, not just a verbal "it works."

Post Go-Live & Regression Testing

QA does not stop at go-live. We provide ongoing post go-live support: regression testing after patches and updates, smoke testing after configuration changes, and a standing resource your team can call on when something needs to be validated before it reaches production.

Platform Expertise

Legal Platforms We Specialize In

We know how these systems behave: their edge cases, integration patterns, and the test scenarios that matter most at go-live.

Intapp

Billstream

Intapp Billstream on Elite 3E: test automation, load testing and release governance for Dentons Canada.

Elite 3E

Practice management & billing

Implementation testing as 3E Test Lead for Dentons Canada, and conversion validation, integrations and cutover support for De Grandpré Chait's move to 3E Cloud.

Chrome River

Expense management

Tested as part of Dentons Canada's Elite 3E implementation.

iManage

Document management integration

Matter renumbering crosswalk and 3E-to-iManage workspace integration for De Grandpré Chait, live since September 2026.

3E Integrations & Reporting

OData, Power Automate, Change Stream, Power BI

Law firm tech stacks are never just one system. We build 3E integrations on the OData API, Power Automate and Change Stream, and we have performance tested Power BI finance dashboards up to 300 concurrent users.

Case Study

Maître to Elite 3E Cloud for De Grandpré Chait

De Grandpré Chait, a Montreal law firm, moved from Maître to Elite 3E Cloud in September 2026. STS was the independent validation and integration team from July 2025 through go-live.

We checked every client and matter record against the source, rebuilt the ethical walls the converted data got wrong, and loaded post-cut-off time into 3E so nobody had to retype it.

Let's talk.

We know these platforms. Tell us what you are implementing and we will tell you exactly what needs to be tested and where the risk is. One conversation is usually enough to know if we are the right fit.
