In short

Hero Factory is a certified Actionstep consultant working with law firms across Australia and New Zealand. We handle implementation, data migration, matter-type and workflow design, document automation, reporting and ongoing optimisation — configuring Actionstep around how your firm actually runs. You work directly with senior, certified specialists, charged by the hour.

— Who it's for

Built for firms at every stage with Actionstep.

New to Actionstep

Firms selecting or implementing Actionstep for the first time and wanting it set up properly from day one.

Already on Actionstep

Firms live on the platform but only using a fraction of it — workflows half-built, reporting thin, adoption patchy.

Migrating in

Firms moving to Actionstep from FilePro, LEAP, a legacy system or spreadsheets, with history that has to come across intact.

What's included
  • Selection and scoping against your practice areas
  • Implementation and configuration of matter types and workflows
  • Data migration from your current system, history intact
  • Document automation and template design
  • Trust and legal accounting configuration
  • Custom Power BI dashboards for partners and managers
  • Team training and adoption support
  • Ongoing optimisation after go-live
What's not included
  • Reselling Actionstep licences — you buy those direct
  • Generic IT support unrelated to your practice system
  • Off-the-shelf configuration applied without discovery
  • One-and-done setups with no follow-through
— How it works

How an Actionstep engagement runs.

Discovery → Build → Adopt
01

Discovery and health check

We learn how your firm runs today — practice areas, workflows, reporting needs and where you want to grow — before recommending anything.

02

Configuration and build

We design matter types, workflows, documents and reporting around your firm, and configure trust and legal accounting to match.

03

Migration and validation

We map, test-migrate and validate your matters, contacts, documents and financial history before cut-over.

04

Training and adoption

We bring your people with us — hands-on training and support so the system is actually used, not worked around.

05

Ongoing optimisation

We stay on beyond go-live, tuning workflows and reporting as the firm grows.

— Problems we solve

What firms come to us to fix.

Half-used

Actionstep switched on but barely configured — teams working around it instead of in it.

Manual

Documents re-typed by hand and data re-keyed because workflows and automation were never built.

Blind

No reliable reporting, so partners can't see capacity, WIP or lock-up clearly.

Stalled

An implementation that stopped at go-live and never got the follow-through to stick.

— FAQ

Questions firms ask us.

Are you a certified Actionstep consultant?

Yes. Hero Factory's consultants are certified across Actionstep, and we work with firms of all sizes across Australia and New Zealand.

How much does an Actionstep implementation cost?

It depends on scope — firm size, number of practice areas, how much data migrates and how much automation you want. We charge by the hour, and you can buy time as a flat rate, a discounted bundle of hours, or an ongoing partnership. A discovery call gives you a clear estimate before you commit.

Can you migrate our data into Actionstep?

Yes. We regularly migrate matters, contacts, documents and trust history into Actionstep — including large migrations off on-premise systems like FilePro, with data integrity as the deliverable.

Do you support firms already using Actionstep?

Absolutely. A lot of our work is with firms already live on Actionstep who want workflows finished, reporting built, automation added or the whole configuration tightened up.

Where are you based and who do you serve?

We're a Sydney-based, boutique consultancy serving law firms across Australia and New Zealand, remotely and on-site as needed.
