KENTUCKY — August 21, 2025 - Smokeball, the industry-leading legal practice management software platform, announced an exclusive partnership with the Kentucky Bar Association today to provide all of its members with free access to Smokeball Bill, Smokeball’s trust accounting and billing software solution for small law firms. This tool will help lawyers – especially solo and small legal practitioners - effectively and compliantly manage their client trust accounts.
Smokeball and the Kentucky Bar Association recognize the important role small law firms play in every local community. However, many of these law firms struggle to handle trust accounting and billing compliantly. According to the 2023 State of U.S. Small Law Firms Report, software for case management, legal research and e-billing/invoicing are some of the biggest technology needs for law practices. By providing Smokeball Bill for free, all attorneys that are members of the Kentucky Bar Association now have access to a user-friendly software solution that ensures trust accounting compliance and simplifies billing.
“The Kentucky Bar Association is proud to offer Smokeball Bill at no cost to our members.” said John D. Meyers, executive director of the Kentucky Bar Association. “By partnering with Smokeball, we’re ensuring our members have access to an intuitive solution that assists with performing the critical, and often complex, responsibility of trust accounting and empowers better client service.”
Manually managing trust accounting often leads to compliance errors and malpractice claims. Smokeball Bill makes it simple for law firm members to more easily comply with trust accounting regulations and also helps firms more easily send and collect invoices and bills.
“At Smokeball we've always focused on helping small law firms thrive.” said Jane Oxley, CRO and co-founder of Smokeball. “We’re excited to partner with the Kentucky Bar Association to bring Smokeball Bill to more attorneys who need a simple, yet powerful way to manage their trust accounts and billing.”
This is Smokeball's 17th free product partnership with a state bar association, following the most recent announcement of its free product partnership with the Oregon State Bar.
