Data Management built on Microsoft Dataverse
NORRIQ Law Firm centralises all operational, client and financial data within a secure Microsoft platform, deployed in your own, typically pre-existing, Microsoft Azure tenant. This ensures your firm operates on one structured and governed data model, eliminating silos, duplicate data and fragmented or limited reporting.
The challenge: from data silos to operational risk
Law firms generate large volumes of sensitive data across matters, billing, compliance and reporting.
Many firms struggle with:
Disconnected systems and duplicated data
Limited visibility into firm-wide performance
Complex GDPR and data residency requirements
Security risks around sensitive client matters
When data lives in isolation, decision-making slows and compliance exposure increases.
One unified legal data architecture
NORRIQ Law Firm is built on the principle of a Single Source of Truth.
All information, from client intake to billing matrices, resides in a structured Microsoft Dataverse environment.
When data is updated in one module, it is automatically reflected across:
Matter management
Compliance workflows
Time tracking
Financial reporting
No manual synchronisation. No data conflicts.
Secure by design
Legal data requires more than storage, it requires controlled access and governance.
NORRIQ Law Firm includes:
Role-Based Access Control
Granular permissions ensure that users only see the data relevant to their role.
Secret Client & Matter Access
Sensitive matters can be restricted to explicitly authorised personnel.
When marked as “Secret,” these records are hidden from standard search and list views.
Environment Governance
Dedicated Sandbox and Production environments allow safe testing of workflows without impacting live data.
Real-time financial synchronisation
All operational data is synchronised directly with Microsoft Business Central.
Time entries
Disbursements
Billing data
VAT configurations
Deployment pipelines ensure that financial data and case records remain aligned at all times.
Your ledger always reflects operational reality.
Full 360 business insights with Power BI
As data is centralised and structured within one unified Azure SQL and Dataverse model, reporting becomes reliable, transparent and complete.
With customisable dashboards built on Microsoft Power BI, firms gain real-time insight into:
Cash flow position
Realisation rates
Profitability per matter and practice area
WIP exposure
Fee earner performance
Revenue trends over time
Because all data resides within Dataverse, reporting is consistent and reliable.
