Legal client portals bring client-facing tasks—intake, communication, document exchange and payments—into online workflows. Compare the entries on client intake forms, client messaging and matter status updates, then consider how electronic signatures and secure document exchange fit the way your firm works with clients. Online client payments, free-plan availability and paid-from pricing give you further points to weigh. 8am MyCase, LawConnect and CosmoLex are among the options to compare. Focus on the interactions your firm needs to support, and use the listed features and cost details to see which tools cover those needs.
