FAQ

Migrating from FilePro

How long do I have to migrate before FilePro shuts down?+

FilePro support ends in December 2026. We strongly recommend migrating by October 2026 to leave buffer for any data reconciliation. Migration itself only takes 5–10 business days.

Will my trust money records be preserved?+

Yes. Every trust transaction — receipts, payments, transfers, journal entries — is imported with full audit trail. ContractKit's trust accounting meets Legal Practitioners' Trust Account rules in your state.

Is ContractKit compliant with Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules?+

Yes. ContractKit supports costs disclosures, costs agreements, trust money handling per state Trust Account regulations, and conflict checks required by the Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules.

What about my historical invoices and time entries?+

All historical billing data — invoices, payments, time entries, write-offs — comes across. Available read-only from day one.

Does ContractKit support AU date formats and GST?+

Yes. AU date formats, GST handling on invoices, and multi-currency support are all built in.

What does migration cost?+

Free for new ContractKit subscribers. No setup fee. Your only cost after the 14-day trial is $49/mo flat — not per user.

Can I run FilePro and ContractKit in parallel during migration?+

Yes. We recommend a 2-week parallel run so your firm can verify data integrity before fully cutting over. FilePro stays operational until you switch.
