AI-powered legal practice management with automatic time tracking
Smokeball Australia builds practice management software for law firms, centered on automatic time tracking that reportedly adds ~2 hours of billable time per fee earner daily. The stack is modern full-stack (React, Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, AWS) paired with a .NET backend, suggesting a multi-tenant SaaS platform handling sensitive legal data at scale. Active hiring across engineering, marketing, and support — with two senior engineering roles — signals scaling beyond initial product-market fit, likely driven by data migration and billing scalability challenges.
