Project Overview
LegalEase Technology, a San Diego legal tech startup founded by former practicing attorneys, needed a sophisticated software platform to commercialise their proprietary legal document automation methodology.
The Challenge
Law firms were spending 40% of billable hours on document drafting, matter administration, and compliance tracking — non-billable work that the founding team knew could be automated with the right technology.
Our Solution
We built a multi-tenant SaaS platform combining AI document automation with complete matter management:
- AI-assisted document template engine with 200+ pre-built legal forms and custom template builder
- Matter management with task assignment, deadline tracking, and court date calendaring
- Time tracking and billing with LEDES billing format export for corporate clients
- Secure client portal for document sharing, e-signature, and matter status visibility
- Conflict check database and new matter intake automation with client onboarding workflow
Key Results
- Document preparation time reduced by 68% — attorneys reclaim 12 hours per week each
- Onboarded 47 law firm clients in the first 12 months of commercial launch
- Annual recurring revenue (ARR) reached $420,000 within year one
- Platform raised $1.8M seed investment partly based on demonstrated client ROI data
