Legal Industry

Your Practice. Your Workflow. Not Clio's.

Small and boutique law firms run billing, intake, docs, and client comms across five tools that don't talk. We connect them, automate the busywork, and add AI where it earns its keep.

The Problem

Legal Practices Run on Disconnected Tools

Intake doesn't talk to billing. Documents live in three places. And every deadline tracked by hand is a liability.

01

Five Tools, No Integration

Intake in one system, billing in another, docs in a third. Nothing syncs and your team re-enters data across all of them.

02

Generic Practice Software

Paying for enterprise features you don't need while missing the ones you do. One-size-fits-all doesn't fit your practice.

03

Manual Intake & Follow-Up

Client intake, conflict checks, and follow-ups still run on email and spreadsheets. Leads slip through the cracks.

04

Missed Deadlines & Billing Gaps

Court dates, statute limits, and billable hours slip through manual tracking. Every missed deadline is a liability.

Who It's For

Built for Firms and Solo Practitioners

A boutique firm with a niche practice or a solo attorney wearing every hat. We build software that fits how you actually work.
