The platform behind exceptional firms.

We help firms scale without building the technology, operations, and growth infrastructure themselves.

We help drive firm performance across eight key areas

Topline revenue growth

A marketing engine that augments yours.

Substantial investment in marketing, run by our world-class growth function, built around your existing brand.

  • A national-scale marketing engine deployed behind your firm
  • Business development team aligned to your practice areas
  • Geographic and practice-area expansion supported end-to-end
Bottom-line EBITDA growth

Operational efficiency, deployed in sprints.

Our continuous-improvement team will scale your operations using our AI-first platform.

  • We'll work with your firm to find AI-first ways of working
  • Automations across intake, workflow, and back office
  • Lower cost-per-matter without compromising quality
Platform & technology

An AI-first technology platform, deployed inside your firm.

Intake, workflow, back office, and firm intelligence, built inside a real regulated firm and battle-tested across more than 40,000 consumer matters.

  • Intake that captures and qualifies every inquiry, 24/7
  • Workflow, back office, and matter automation built around how lawyers actually work
  • Real-time visibility into every economic dimension of the firm

Attorney recruitment

A recruitment team assigned to your firm.

Growth requires enough attorneys to meet demand, and the quality of attorneys has to remain high.

  • A dedicated recruitment team sourcing AI-first attorneys
  • Aligned to your culture, your practice areas, your standards
  • Built around how you already hire, not on top of it
Continuous improvement

Operations and back office at platform scale.

An experienced continuous-improvement team with deep legal-operations experience, supporting operational scaling across the firm.

  • Process and operations work the firm never had time to finish
  • National-platform infrastructure deployed inside the firm
  • Back-office systems sized for the next stage of growth
Culture and community

A network of firm leaders, and a team that works with yours.

Lawhive is one firm, and the people inside it become part of yours, and vice versa.

  • Events for firm leaders and for attorneys across the network
  • An attorney success team working alongside your lawyers
  • Insight, talent, and referrals flowing across the partner-firm network
Data and analytics

A data team with tech-scaleup experience.

A world-class data and analytics team, with hands-on support to build and execute the firm's data strategy.

  • Operational analytics across every part of the firm
  • Development and execution support on your data strategy
  • Visibility into the levers that move revenue and margin
Optional

HR, benefits, and finance support.

Where the firm wants it, additional shared services, taken on at platform standards and on the firm's terms.

  • HR and benefits administration
  • Finance, accounting, and reporting support
  • Adopted where the firm would benefit

Scale without building the infrastructure yourself.

The work behind a truly cutting-edge modern law firm (the marketing engine, the AI-first technology platform, the recruitment pipeline, the operations backbone, the data infrastructure) takes years to build, hundreds of people, and an enormous amount of capital.

No independent firm can build it alone, and the firms trying to are losing ground every year they spend trying. Partnering with Lawhive lets you skip the build and deploy the result.

Our technology and operations are already running inside multiple leading firms and are battle-tested across more than 40,000 consumer matters.

What the partnership delivers.
