Omega Legal gives your firm a secure app for lawyers and staff, a free client portal for the people you act for, and encrypted video conferences. Every message, document and call is encrypted on the device that sends it.
Omega Legal is the full Omega Secure app with these additions for lawyers and legal services.
Settlement funds are a favourite target for payment redirection fraud, where a forged email swaps in a criminal's account. In Omega Legal, your trust account details live inside the portal, sealed and tied to your firm, so a client can check them before every transfer.
When you open a matter, you send the client a code or a link.
Client conversations sorted by matter. Team chats for each matter. Drafts, advices and signed documents.
Lawyers owe their clients a duty of confidentiality under the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules, and legal professional privilege can be lost through careless handling.
Also included, as in standard Omega Secure: encrypted messaging and files, email, calls over your SIM, texts in the same inbox, call recording with a spoken notice, and video meetings with screen sharing and a whiteboard. See every feature.
Settlement funds are a favourite target for payment redirection fraud, where a forged email swaps in a criminal's account. In Omega Legal, your trust account details live inside the portal, sealed and tied to your firm, so a client can check them before every transfer.
Your trust account details are published once, inside the app, under your firm's name.
Nobody at the firm can change payment details alone, and clients are told the moment anything changes.
Clients compare the details in the portal with their banking app before they send funds.
Lawyers and the people they act for need different things from a messenger, so Omega Legal comes in two parts that talk to each other.
The working space for partners, solicitors, paralegals and the front desk.
A private line to the lawyers a client has engaged, with nothing else in the way.

When you open a matter, you send the client a code or a link. They install the portal, accept the invitation, and can message the matter team straight away. Nobody can search for your lawyers or staff, so the only people who reach you are clients you've invited.
A client with a conveyancer for the house and a family lawyer for a separation keeps both firms side by side in the one portal, with each matter in its own thread.
Omega Legal replaces the mix of email chains, text messages and personal chat apps that client matters often end up in.
In beta
Partners, solicitors, paralegals and reception talk in one place, in private chats and a thread for each matter.

Send advices, contracts, affidavits and signed copies inside the same encryption as your messages.

Lawyers owe their clients a duty of confidentiality under the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules, and legal professional privilege can be lost through careless handling. Omega Legal is built to keep confidential communications confidential and to support your obligations under the Privacy Act 1988, the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme, and the Legal Profession Uniform Law or your state's legal profession legislation.
Trust accounting and file retention stay in your practice management system, where your regulator expects them. Our beta privacy notice sets out in plain English what the app collects, why, and how to have it deleted.
No. Your matter records, trust accounting, time recording and billing stay where they are. Omega Legal handles the conversations and the documents that travel with them.
Nothing. The client portal is free. A client who wants the full Omega messenger for their own use can upgrade inside the portal for a personal subscription.
Yes. Use Omega Legal for the clients and matters where it helps most and keep email for everyone else. Conveyancing settlements and family law are good places to start.
Privilege depends on the purpose and content of a communication, and no app can decide that for you. Omega Legal keeps confidential communications confidential, which is one of the things privilege needs.
Messages and documents are encrypted on the device that sends them and our servers can't open them. Account details for Australian firms are held in Australia.
You set the firm's hours. Outside them, clients see your away message and an after-hours contact if you offer one.
Omega Legal is in beta testing now. Apply to test it on your own phone, or register your interest and we'll be in touch about your team.
Please don't include any client or matter details in these forms.
