SpineLegal’s client portal, known as LegalTrack, gives clients secure, round-the-clock access to case progress, documents and messages. Meanwhile, your team spends less time chasing emails and more time on legal work. ## What is a legal client portal? A legal client portal is a secure online space where a law firm and its clients share information. Clients log in to see case updates, upload documents, read messages and view invoices. Because everything sits in one place, nobody has to search through email threads or wait for a call back. Unlike ordinary email, a portal controls who can see what. It also keeps client communications attached to the matter they relate to. As a result, your firm builds a clear history of every exchange. SpineLegal builds the portal into its practice management software, so your team works from one system. ## Why a legal client portal matters ### Secure and centralised communication The portal gives clients a secure place to view real-time case updates, share documents and message their legal team. Therefore, every interaction stays organised and easy to find. This transparency builds trust, because clients can see progress for themselves. ### Better client engagement Clients can check their case information at any hour. Consequently, they feel informed and involved throughout the legal process. Steady access also reduces routine “any news?” calls and emails, which frees your team for more valuable conversations. ### Efficient document management Clients upload and download documents directly through the portal. This reduces reliance on email and physical post. It also lowers the risk of lost or misplaced files and saves time on both sides. ### Less administrative work The portal automates routine tasks such as scheduling, document sharing and status updates. For example, a client can download a copy of a letter without asking anyone to send it. Your legal professionals can then focus on substantive legal work. ### A client experience that reflects your brand You can tailor the portal to your firm, including personalised branding and firm-specific resources. This customisation reinforces your professional image every time a client logs in. ## See the portal in action Watch this short video, which runs for under two minutes, to see how clients move through the portal.

SpineLegal applies the technical and organisational measures described in its [GDPR statement](https://spinelegal.co.uk/gdpr-regulation/), including encryption, access controls and regular security assessments. ### Encryption Encryption scrambles information so that only authorised parties can read it. SpineLegal includes encryption among the measures that protect personal data. In practice, this helps keep documents and messages private while they are stored and shared. ### Controlled access Access controls decide who can log in and what they can see. Clients receive a secure login link and view information about their own case, such as status updates, documents, court dates, invoices and messages. Meanwhile, role-based access helps your team limit what each staff member can open. ### A clear audit trail SpineLegal logs client communications against the matter record. Every message, update and document share therefore leaves an auditable record. If a question arises later, you can trace what was shared with the client. ### Hosting and data ownership SpineLegal is powered by Microsoft and backed by Cloudflare security and CDN. Firms can also choose to keep their data on a private cloud. In addition, you own your data, and SpineLegal does not charge for exporting it. > No software can guarantee compliance on its own. However, independent guidance can help you judge any portal, including ours. The ICO’s [encryption guidance](https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/security/encryption/) explains how encryption works in practice. The NCSC’s [10 Steps to Cyber Security](https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/10-steps) also covers identity, access and logging. Both are UK resources, but their principles apply to law firms anywhere. ### Scalable for All Law Firms Whether you’re a solo practitioner or a growing firm, SpineLegal adapts to your needs.
