Disclosure: this article is written and published by DROZlegal, which competes in adjacent territory. Every claim about Stream Legal comes from two of its own pages read on October 28, 2026 (the home page and the security page) and is attributed to them. “Not stated” means the page was silent, not that the answer is no. We did not trial the product. This article is general information, not legal advice, and reflects publicly available information as of October 28, 2026.
What the pages say
| Question | What the pages say |
|---|---|
| What it is | “Intuitive paralegal case management software,” “Built for Canadian paralegals by Canadian paralegals.” Features include Highway Traffic Act matter tracking, court-document generation, calendar reminders and trust and general account tracking. |
| By-Law 9 | The home page tagline reads “LSO By-Law 9 compliant accounting.” No source, reconciliation description or Law Society statement sits beside it. The security page does not mention trust accounting or the Law Society. |
| Hosting | The security page (“Last updated: October 2025”) says “Tier 3+ Canadian data centers.” No provider or city is named. “Canadian data hosting verification” is listed as “(Coming Soon).” |
| Backups | “Encrypted backups in separate regions.” Whether those regions are in Canada is not stated. |
| Encryption | TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, including backups. Key rotation is not described. |
| Certifications | The page claims no certification. It says it is “aligned” with security frameworks and lists a certification and third-party penetration testing as in progress. |
| Deletion | “Permanent deletion within 30–60 days of closure.” |
| AI | Not mentioned on either page. “Automatically generated documents” is not explained. |
| Pricing | A “FREE 30 day Trial” is offered; the plans page showed no prices or currency in the text we could read. |

Five questions to put to the vendor
- Who hosts our data, and in which city, backups included? “Separate regions” is not an answer until it names a country.
- What does the By-Law 9 claim rest on? Ask for a sample monthly three-way reconciliation and client trust ledger, then check them against the Law Society’s requirements. See our trust accounting software guide.
- Does 30–60 day deletion fit our record-retention duties? Closed-file records may outlive the vendor’s deletion clock.
- What is the exit path? Ask for export formats for matters, documents and trust records.
- What does it cost, in which currency, after the trial?
If the answers are specific and written down, Stream Legal may suit a paralegal practice. If they are vague, that is the finding. For the wider field, see the seven-vendor data-location matrix and our practice management software comparison.
