Industry Comparison
Process Street helps teams follow standard operating procedures through checklists, but law firms need structured matter management with court deadline tracking, document assembly, and SRA-compliant audit trails. SwiftCase provides a purpose-built legal operations platform that goes far beyond checklist completion.
Reasons teams in your industry are choosing SwiftCase over Process Street.
Common challenges legal teams face when using Process Street for operations.
Process Street treats every process as a sequence of tasks to check off. Legal matters require structured records with client data, opponent details, court references, linked documents, time recording, and financial tracking across multiple stages. A checklist cannot model the complexity of legal case management.
Court deadlines and limitation dates follow complex rules based on claim type, jurisdiction, and procedural stage. Process Street has no date calculation engine, no jurisdiction-specific rules, and no escalating reminder system to prevent missed deadlines that could lead to professional negligence claims.
Legal teams rely heavily on templated documents such as letters of claim, witness statements, schedules of loss, and court bundles. Process Street does not include any document generation capability, requiring teams to use separate tools and manually populate templates.
SRA Standards and Regulations require specific supervisory structures, file review schedules, and client money handling procedures. Process Street logs who ticked a checkbox and when, but does not provide the field-level change tracking, document versioning, or communication logging that SRA inspections demand.
Purpose-built capabilities that legal operations teams rely on.
Manage matters from initial instruction through conflict checks, investigation, negotiation, and resolution. Each stage has configurable tasks, mandatory checks, and automated progression rules that ensure consistent case handling across the firm.
Automated limitation date calculations based on claim type and jurisdiction, with escalating reminders at configurable intervals. Court procedural deadlines are tracked and surfaced in team dashboards to prevent missed dates.
Generate letters of claim, witness statements, schedules of loss, and court bundles automatically from matter data. Over 25 document templates are configured during implementation and can be updated by authorised users without developer involvement.
Enforce file review schedules, supervisory sign-offs, and client care requirements as mandatory workflow steps. For legal aid work, track LAA cost limits, report on case outcomes, and generate compliance evidence for audits.
