2023

Previously known as Consensus for Purpose (CFP), AIIM Community Legal Software (AIIM) was founded by a consortium of Community Legal Centres (CLCs) who identified the need for a comprehensive, purpose-built, practice management platform designed specifically to service the needs of the CLCs sector. The founding consortium was made up of Marrickville Legal Centre (MLC), the Environmental Defenders Office (EDO), and the Women’s Legal Service QLD (WLSQ) (together, the Consortium).
Designed by the sector, for the sector, AIIM is the result of many years of planning and development by CLCs, designed specifically to address the operational needs of the CLC sector. By integrating modern cloud technologies, automation, and optimised workflows, AIIM delivers significant productivity gains and administrative efficiencies for legal practitioners. Unlike generic systems, AIIM was purpose-built with the CLCs sector in mind, ensuring every feature directly supports the real-world challenges faced by CLCs.

To ensure the long-term survival, sustainability and ongoing enhancement of AIIM for the benefit of Community Legal Centres (CLCs) across Australia.
