Sole practitioners and small firms

A silk on every file,
from one attorney up.

Priced per attorney from R900 a month, with nothing to install and no IT to manage: sign up, confirm your email and work in your browser the same day.

Free 14-day trial · then from R900 per attorney per month · extra usage only if your firm chooses it

The practice tools, without the IT department.

A price per person

Each person holds a seat — Base R900, Pro R2 000 or Max R3 000 a month — with a usage allowance that resets every five days. Extra usage is only ever an explicit purchase.

Plan & spend

No IT needed

Silk runs in the browser. The AI account, hosting in South Africa and security updates are Silk's job — there are no keys, servers or installs for your firm to manage.

Platform

Cases, time and fee notes

An electronic case file with documents, notes, tasks and a stage pipeline. Log time at role rates or the case's own arrangement, add disbursements, and raise a fee note on your letterhead — computed from the entries, never composed by a model.

Cases · Billing

Court deadlines, computed

Uniform Rules, Magistrates' Courts, CCMA, PAJA, prescription and more — reckoned deterministically with South African public holidays, never guessed by a model. One click files the date as a case task.

Cases · Deadlines

The gazetted tariffs at hand

The High Court and Magistrates' Courts party-and-party tariffs, transcribed from the Government Gazette with item references, sit beside your fee settings and each case's billing.

Fees · Tariff guide

Per attorney, per month

Questions firms ask

Can a sole practitioner use Silk?

Yes. Sign up as a firm of one: you are the administrator and hold one seat. Add colleagues later, each with their own seat.

What happens when the trial ends?

You choose a seat for each person and pay for the rest of the month through Paystack. After that Silk issues one invoice a month, which you pay by card or EFT. There is no debit order, and a plan never starts without a payment.

Do we need Microsoft 365 or any software?

No. A browser is enough: sign-in is email and password with a second factor. Firms on Microsoft 365 can add single sign-on if they want it.

What if someone uses up their allowance?

They pause until it resets, five days on. If your firm would rather they carry on, an administrator can buy extra usage for that person.

Is our information kept in South Africa?

Model processing runs in Microsoft Azure South Africa North, with storage disabled on each model call.

Start with one seat. Grow when you do.

After the trial, plans start at R900 per attorney per month — a fixed price with a five-day usage allowance, never a running account.
