Universal Migrator has released its April 2025 update, significantly expanding its global reach with new European system connectors and introducing innovative security features. The update brings the total number of supported migration paths to over 2,882, further solidifying the company’s position as a leader in legal tech data migration solutions.
Working primarily with legal tech consultants and migration departments worldwide, Universal Migrator facilitates hundreds of data and document migrations every month, helping law firms transition smoothly between different practice management platforms.
The key elements of this release include:
European Market Expansion
The April update expands Universal Migrator’s support for the European market with new backup options for several systems:
- DLEX Backup
- LEAP (UK) Backup
- Liberate Backup
- Smokeball (UK) Backup
Additional New Connectors
Beyond the European market focus, Universal Migrator has also added backup capabilities for:
- Enterprise Address Book
- Omega Backup
- Vimeo Backup
The company also announced its first restore connector for SimpleLaw, enabling migrations directly into this platform.
New Security Feature: Resumable In-Private Web Browser
A standout addition in the April update is the new Resumable In-Private Web Browser feature. This innovation addresses a significant challenge in web-based migrations by allowing migration specialists to maintain secure browser sessions during migration projects. Data migrations in legal tech have traditionally faced security challenges, especially when dealing with two-factor authentication. The new Resumable In-Private Web Browser creates an isolated browser environment specific to each migration project that remains secure even after the browser is closed and reopened.
This feature eliminates the previous dilemma of choosing between disabling two-factor authentication (reducing security) or dealing with repeated authentication requests (increasing client involvement and slowing down the process).
Enhanced Tools
Universal Migrator has also improved 27 of its existing backup utilities, including popular systems such as:
- Clio Manage and Clio Grow
- Filevine
- iManage Cloud
- NetDocuments
- RocketMatter
- Zola Suite
These enhancements allow for more efficient and comprehensive data mapping and migration between systems.
About Universal Migrator
Universal Migrator is a tool that helps law firms and legal organizations migrate their data when moving from one practice management solution or technology platform to another. The company won the ABA Techshow Startup Alley Pitch Competition in 2023.
Most migrations consist of two main parts: pulling data out of one system and then pushing it into another. Universal Migrator automates and de-skills both so migration departments can do more projects faster while delivering consistent results.
Universal Migrator has become a strategic advantage for legal tech startups, as its push connectors require minimal effort and enable ultra-fast, reliable onboarding. Legal tech consultants worldwide use Universal Migrator for migrations, reporting, data exports, and more.
