Scheduled maintenance: Saturday, October 17, 2026

LeanLaw will be unavailable for 8 hours on Saturday, October 17, from 12:00 AM to 8:00 AM ET while we upgrade the infrastructure that runs LeanLaw. If you’re on the West Coast, that’s Friday, October 16, from 9:00 PM to Saturday, 5:00 AM PT.

Please save your work before the maintenance starts. There’s nothing you need to do afterward.

When

We scheduled it overnight, outside business hours, to keep the disruption to your firm as small as possible.

What we’re doing and why

We’re moving LeanLaw to new hosting infrastructure. The new setup gives us:

• Stronger security controls around the systems that hold your firm’s data, including centralized logging and vulnerability management.
• Better monitoring, so we can spot and fix problems sooner.
• More reliable updates, because every part of the new environment is set up the same way each time.

Your data, your login and the way you use LeanLaw stay exactly the same.

Before the maintenance

• Save your work before 12:00 AM ET Saturday (9:00 PM PT Friday). That includes time entries, drafts and invoices. Anything left unsaved in an open browser tab can’t be saved once the maintenance starts, and time that isn’t saved can’t be billed.
• Send anything urgent you need out before the window, such as invoices or statements.

During the maintenance

• You won’t be able to sign in to LeanLaw. Visiting LeanLaw will show a maintenance page instead.
• Reporting is unavailable.
• QuickBooks sync is paused. Changes you make in QuickBooks during the window are held and synced once we’re back.
• Invoices, reminders and other emails scheduled to go out during the window are sent once we’re back.
• Updates from connected services during the window are held and processed once we’re back.
• LeanLaw API is unavailable. All API requests, including those from integrations and custom tools built on the LeanLaw API, will fail during the maintenance window. 

After the maintenance

• There’s nothing you need to do. Sign in as usual at the same address. Your login, bookmarks and data are unchanged.
• Changes made in QuickBooks during the window may take a short while to appear in LeanLaw while they’re processed.
• We’ll email you as soon as LeanLaw is back up.

Frequently asked questions

Will I lose any data? No. Your data is safe throughout. Just save any work in progress before the maintenance starts.

Do I need to change anything afterward? No. LeanLaw’s address, your login and your bookmarks all stay the same.

Will my scheduled invoices and reminders still go out? Yes. Anything scheduled during the window is sent once LeanLaw is back up on Saturday morning.

Why don’t I see my recent QuickBooks changes? Changes made in QuickBooks during the maintenance are processed after we’re back. Give it a short while and check again.

What if the maintenance takes longer than planned? We’ll email you with a new expected time, and again as soon as LeanLaw is back.

Who can I contact with questions? Reach us through chat in LeanLaw, or reply to any of our maintenance emails.
