Find documentation for exporting data from popular case management and practice management systems

When migrating to Filevine, you'll need to export your data from your current platform. We've compiled a list of resources to help you export data from popular case management and practice management systems.

Supported Platforms

Below are platforms with available export documentation:

AbacusLaw by Caret

  • Compatibility: Contacts, Projects, Calendar
  • Export Guide: Available through your AbacusLaw support portal or Caret's documentation site
  • Data Format: Typically exports as CSV or Excel files
  • Notes: Contact AbacusLaw support for specific export procedures for your version
  • Data Export Best Practices

    Before exporting your data, keep these tips in mind:

  • Verify data completeness — Ensure all records are synced and up-to-date before exporting
  • Test export first — Run a test export with a small subset of data to verify format compatibility
  • Save original files — Keep backups of your original export files
  • Document mapping — Note which fields from your old system map to Filevine fields
  • Check for duplicates — Review exported data for duplicate contacts or projects
  • Can't Find Your Platform?

    If your case management system isn't listed here, we can help! There are often multiple ways to export data from different platforms.

    Contact us at products@vinetegrate.com with:

  • We'll work with you to find the best migration path and may be able to add resources for your platform to help future users.
