Virto Calendar empowers legal professionals to reclaim their time and focus on what matters most: their clients. The screens show a law firm's court dates, client consultations and internal meetings on a demo calendar in our own tenant. ### Efficient scheduling law software #### Secure client scheduling Consultations, court dates and internal meetings are read from the firm's own Outlook calendars and SharePoint lists. The content stays in your Microsoft 365 tenant, and each person sees only what their permissions allow. #### An up-to-date schedule, reminders from the source A meeting moved in Outlook or a court date changed in the SharePoint list shows at its new time in the calendar. Virto Calendar App sends no notifications itself: Outlook reminders stay on each appointment, and Virto Alerts & Reminder App can send email and Teams reminders on the dates in a SharePoint list. ![Virto Calendar App, Edit calendar for Law firm schedule (demo), General tab: three SharePoint data sources, Court dates in red, Client consultations in blue and Firm meetings in green, each with its site address and the options Read only, Show in calendar and Show](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/appointment-scheduling-lawyers/data-sources.webp) The firm's schedule reads three SharePoint lists it already keeps: court dates, client consultations and firm meetings. ### Optimized attorney scheduling software #### Unified calendar view Gain a clear overview of your entire team's schedule with a centralized, color-coded calendar that consolidates appointments, deadlines, and court appearances from multiple sources. #### Customizable appointment scheduling for lawyers Court appearances, client meetings and the personal commitments each attorney shares sit in one view, coloured by source, so an attorney's whole day is read at once before a new meeting is accepted. ![Virto Calendar App, Work week view of 9 to 13 November 2026 in the Law firm schedule (demo) calendar from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM: court dates in red, such as Trial prep · Avery v.

Virto Calendar App shows overlaps; it does not block them or propose a free slot. ![Virto Calendar App, Day view of Tuesday 10 November 2026 in the Law firm schedule (demo) calendar from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM: Hearing · Avery v.

Park's hearing and a consultation booked for him at the same time, side by side: the clash is visible before anyone confirms. ## Key benefits ### Online bookings next to the firm's calendar Clients keep booking online through Microsoft Bookings or the booking tool you already use. Their appointments land in the attorneys' Outlook calendars, and Virto Calendar App shows them next to court dates and internal meetings. ### Overlaps you can see Every attorney's appointments, court dates and room bookings are overlaid in one calendar, and overlapping entries are drawn side by side. The assistant sees a clash before proposing a time; working hours stay in each attorney's Outlook settings, and buffer times in the booking tool. ### Confidential by design Client and case appointments stay in your Microsoft 365 tenant: Virto Calendar App processes them without storing them, and SharePoint and Exchange permissions decide who sees which details. Documents are shared the way the firm already shares them, in SharePoint or Teams; outside parties see the calendar only as invited SharePoint guests. ### Reminders for court dates and filings Keep cases on track with Virto Alerts & Reminder App: email and Teams reminders a set time before the court dates and filing deadlines in your SharePoint list, and alerts when one of them changes. Client appointment reminders come from Outlook or your booking tool; Virto Calendar App itself sends none. ### Multi-attorney calendar management Easily manage schedules for multiple lawyers within your firm. Color-code appointments by case type, attorney, or urgency level for at-a-glance schedule management and improved team coordination. ### Built on Microsoft 365 Virto Calendar App reads Outlook and Exchange calendars, room mailboxes, SharePoint lists, Planner and iCal feeds. It has no direct connector to case-management software: a system that publishes an iCal feed can be drawn in the same view, and contacts and case files stay where they are kept. ## When Virto Calendar App fits — and when it does not | Real-life scenario | Best fit | Why it works | | --- | --- | --- | | Offering a client a consultation time — Each attorney keeps their own Outlook calendar, and the assistant has to find who is free. | Virto Calendar App M365 | Virto Calendar App lays the attorneys' Outlook calendars side by side in one view, so the assistant sees who is free before proposing a time. Permissions decide how much of each appointment is shown. | | Court dates, meeting rooms and client meetings in one place — Court appearances are tracked in a SharePoint list, and meeting rooms are booked through room mailboxes. | Virto Calendar App M365 | The court-date list, the room mailboxes and the attorneys' calendars are overlaid in one calendar, so a consultation is not booked into a taken room or on the morning of a hearing. | | A reminder before each court date or filing deadline — The dates are kept in a SharePoint list, with the responsible attorney named in each item. | Virto Alerts & Reminder App | Virto Alerts & Reminder App sends the attorney an email or Teams reminder a set time before the date, and alerts the team when the date in the list changes. | | Co-counsel or a client who needs to see the hearing schedule | Virto Calendar App M365 | Outside parties invited as guests of the SharePoint site see the calendar under the permissions the site gives them. There are no anonymous or public links. | | Clients booking a time themselves online | A booking tool such as Microsoft Bookings | Virto Calendar App does not publish a booking page. Appointments booked in Microsoft Bookings land in the attorneys' Outlook calendars, and Virto Calendar App shows them next to court dates and the rest of the firm's schedule. | ## Related products Explore how our set of productivity tools can transform your task management - [Virto Calendar App M365](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-365/virto-calendar-overlay-app/): Consolidate events from SharePoint, Exchange, Google, and more into one calendar view for simplified planning. - [Virto Calendar App](https://www.virtosoftware.com/microsoft-teams/virto-calendar-app/): View consultation schedules and team availability together in Microsoft Teams, using the calendars your practice already maintains. - [Virto Calendar On-Premises](https://www.virtosoftware.com/sharepoint/sp-calendar-web-part/): Overlay SharePoint lists and other calendar sources for the same consultation schedule in SharePoint On-Premises. ## Related use cases Discover our range of use cases to take your planning and coordination to another level ![Team and Project Calendar](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/team-calendar.webp) ### Team and Project Calendar Maximize project visibility and coordination across teams with Virto Calendar, streamlining workflow and simplifying stakeholder communication. ![Employee Vacation Tracker](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/vacation-tracker.webp) ### Employee Vacation Tracker Virto Calendar App shows approved leave next to the public holidays of every country your team works in — who is away, and which offices are closed. ![Assignment Calendar](https://www.virtosoftware.com/images/use-cases/assignment-calendar.webp) ### Assignment Calendar Get a clear view of your academic workload with Virto Calendar.
