Switch from Abakion Legal

Switch from Abakion, built for legal work.

Abakion Legal builds on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and is strong on finance and billing. Levano is built for legal work from the ground up, with an intelligent assistant, legal research included and a branded client portal.

  • We do the heavy lifting
  • You keep the history
  • Research in the system

Why people switch

Why some look elsewhere.

Abakion Legal builds on a solid ERP and runs the finances well. These are the points we hear most often from firms considering a switch.

  1. 01

    Built on an ERP foundation

    Dynamics 365 Business Central, adapted for lawyers

  2. 02

    Strongest on finance

    the legal work sits on top

  3. 03

    AI and research aren't built in

  4. 04

    Limited white-label client portal

    the client often meets the system's name

  5. 05

    Case types and flows are adaptations

    rather than a foundation built for the craft

What Levano does differently

Five reasons it's worth the switch.

01

Levano reads the matter

It finds case law, writes the first draft and analyses. Abakion has no legal AI.

02

Legal research included

Danish law, case law and EU-Lex in the system, not a separate lookup.

03

Built for the craft, not for accounting

Case types, deadlines and flows are the foundation, not adaptations on top of an ERP.

04

The client sees your name

Branded client portal and white-label, not the system's name.

05

Billing close to the matter

Levano has billing built in, close to the legal work, not in a separate ERP layer.

The migration

What you take with you. What you leave behind.

Your financial data and history come with you. The ERP layer you didn't need doesn't.

Questions

Questions about switching.

What about our existing Abakion data?
We move all of it: matters, clients, documents, time entries, invoices and financials. You keep the full history.
We run finance in Business Central, what happens to that?
Levano has billing built in, and e-conomic is the accounting engine: an invoice is posted to e-conomic when it is approved. We review your finance setup on the migration call.
Do we get a system built for lawyers?
Yes. Case types, deadlines and flows are the foundation in Levano, not adaptations on top of an accounting system.
Can we run in parallel?
Yes. Many run Abakion and Levano side by side for a short period until the team is comfortable.
