Business development is what keeps a law firm growing: the pitches won, the bids submitted, the client relationships turned into repeat instructions. It's too important to run on scattered Excel files, shared inboxes and one person's memory โ where deadlines slip, bid bonds expire, and hard-won know-how walks out the door when someone leaves. QuickBD puts the entire function in one comprehensive system: 14 connected modules โ pitches, bid bonds and tenders, CVs and experience, events, gifts & compliance, CRM and cross-sell โ so every opportunity is tracked, every rule is enforced, and your firm's BD effort compounds year after year instead of starting over.
From the first RFP on the radar to the signed instruction and the year-end ROI report โ every step is tracked, every rule enforced, and knowledge stays with the firm.
A Gantt view of every pitch and bid โ bid โ bond โ submit โ win/lost โ with live KPIs across value, win rate and bonds. Click any bar for full detail, the attachment, and a printable briefing.

Log a bid in minutes: client, opportunity, key dates, bid bond and documents. Pick an existing client or add a new one inline โ the client database builds itself as you work.

Assemble a client-ready pitch from your Experience bank matters and partner bios. Toggle the sections you want, add partner headshots, set the fee โ then export a formatted PDF or editable Word, or drop it straight into your firm's PDF template.

The full bond lifecycle: issue, expiry, refund and renewal, with week-ahead alerts and a running total of cash tied up. Drafts awaiting completion sit alongside live bonds.

Keep every RFP the firm is chasing on one radar. Add opportunities as they come in, score them by fit and flag local-content, then promote one into a live proposal in a single click โ and follow it all the way through to won.

Store each lawyer's experience once. Pick a partner and a specialisation and QuickBD assembles a tailored, branded CV โ surfacing the relevant matters, hiding the rest. Add a headshot, choose one-page or detailed, export to PDF, or build a multi-CV pack into your firm template.

One clean record of what the firm has done: searchable client, sector, practice and deal value. It feeds CVs, pitches and directory submissions โ so hard-won credentials never get lost or re-typed.

Manage every directory submission โ practice, deadline, progress and current band โ with full referee management: who's agreed, pending or declined, drawn from your best client relationships.

Plan every BD event on a shared calendar โ who's attending, when, where and what it costs โ with a per-event expense breakdown and local-content checks. Export to .ics so it drops into everyone's Outlook / Google Calendar.


The one report a managing partner actually asks for: total BD cost, cost-per-acquisition, spend-vs-work-won and local-content %, with channel-by-channel performance so you know which BD activity actually pays.

A defensible, audit-ready log of every gift and hospitality item given or received โ with automatic policy-limit checks and a mandatory flag for government officials. Built for firms doing government-facing work.

A push-button local scan reads partner and BD inboxes, parses signatures into clean contacts with designations, de-duplicates them, scores relationship strength and builds a who-knows-whom map โ all on the machine, nothing sent anywhere.

A matrix of every client against every practice โ instantly showing the whitespace where you already have the relationship but not the work. Each opportunity comes with the warm internal introduction to make.

Capture matter debriefs and NPS after each engagement. Promoters become directory referees and testimonial candidates; detractors trigger a partner-led service-recovery follow-up before they churn.

Everything above rolls up into one command dashboard โ pipeline, spend & ROI, bonds, NPS and whitespace โ with date-range reports you can generate and export for partner meetings.
The latest capabilities across the platform.
Add a lawyer's photo once โ it appears on their CV and across every pitch, PDF and Word export.
Drop generated CVs or a whole proposal into your firm's existing PDF at a chosen page โ the template itself is never altered.
Browse proposals by date range, preview the attachment inline, download it, and print a clean briefing for a meeting.
Bring existing matters, contacts, bids, bonds, tenders, events and spend in from a spreadsheet โ a tab for every one of the 14 modules.
Manager vs BD Assistant roles, approval thresholds, and configurable access โ e.g. keep data import Manager-only.
Sign in with your existing Microsoft 365 account โ no new passwords. IT controls access centrally via Entra ID, and leavers lose access automatically.
Everything runs on the machine. No cloud, no data leaving the firm โ important for confidential, government-facing work.
QuickBD runs on your own machines / on-prem โ no new servers, nothing in the cloud. Two one-time tasks and the BD team is live: activate the firm licence, connect Microsoft (or Google) single sign-on, then the BD Manager assigns roles in-app.
Enter the firm's org-wide key (QBD-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) once โ not per user. Plan, seat count & expiry then show in Settings and every account menu.
Register QuickBD in Microsoft Entra ID (or Google Workspace) โ OIDC, redirect URI โฆ/login.html, emit the verified email claim, and restrict to your firm's tenant. SAML 2.0 also supported.
The BD Manager opens Users and adds each colleague by work email as Assistant or Manager. Anyone not on the list is denied at login โ that's what keeps QuickBD BD-only.
