Affinity (Dye & Durham)

Overview

Affinity is a legacy legal practice management solution marketed and supported by Dye & Durham. While it remains a capable platform — providing matter management, document management, integrated legal research, time recording, billing, and reporting — it is now widely regarded as a legacy system. The market trend is migration away from Affinity to modern cloud-native platforms such as Clio, Actionstep, or Smokeball. Affinity integrates with PEXA for electronic conveyancing and Unity Search for property searches, reflecting its historical focus on the Australian property law market. Replacing Affinity can be complex for firms with deeply embedded workflows, particularly those reliant on its PEXA and Unity Search integrations.

Key Capabilities & Differentiators

Affinity's strength was its deep integration with PEXA and Unity Search for property transactions, developed in collaboration with Australian legal and conveyancing professionals. This integration depth is what makes migration complex for property-focused firms. The platform provides pipeline analytics and reporting tools suited to mid-tier firm management. It is specifically marketed and supported in Australia by Dye & Durham, but firms should evaluate the long-term product roadmap given the consolidation in the Dye & Durham portfolio.
