Migrating from PracticePanther

PracticePanther offers solid generic legal case management. Migration is straightforward for firms whose workflows fit PracticePanther's generic model.

Medium effort 4–6 weeks Solo and small immigration practices on PracticePanther

What migrates

Contacts, matters, documents, notes, and billing history. Custom fields migrate to ImmPilot custom fields with a mapping step. Workflows re-implement as automations.

Exporting from PracticePanther

Use the built-in export from Admin → Data Export. Documents export separately as a per-matter ZIP. Both take several hours to prepare for large accounts.

Common mapping decisions

PracticePanther's 'matter' becomes a case, its 'contact' becomes a client, its 'workflow' becomes a case template + automation combination. Confirm the mapping decisions with the migration tool before commit.

Documents cleanup

PracticePanther document naming varies widely by firm. A quick cleanup pass before import saves time later. Rename obvious duplicates and remove clearly obsolete files.

Parallel run

30–45 day parallel run recommended: new cases in ImmPilot, existing cases finish in PracticePanther. Contact PracticePanther to place the subscription on a lower tier during wind-down.
