One missed after-hours corporate inquiry can cost $25,000–$500,000+ in engagement fees.
We build branded law firm client portals and mobile apps with M&A intake, secure due-diligence upload, engagement-letter e-sign, milestone push, and Clio / iManage / MyCase sync — so U.S. business law firms capture corporate clients before competitors respond.

What your current process is costing you
These are real monthly US search volumes for business lawyer near me and related hire-intent queries. A generic Clio portal cannot route them — practice-area intake in your branded app can.
Your portal is the intake layer — we map every practice-area flow to the searches GCs and founders actually run.
Generic legal client portal software fails corporate practices. GCs and founders expect a branded, mobile-first experience — not a Clio login with your logo pasted on top.
If you miss three after-hours inquiries a month and even one would have become an M&A engagement at $75,000 average value, that's $75,000/month walking to the firm that responds first. A custom intake app closes that window.
Clio and MyCase portals help after the matter is open. They do not replace branded practice-area intake, diligence upload, and engagement e-sign when a GC is still comparing firms on their phone.
Corporate clients expect same-day acknowledgment. When a Thursday evening inquiry sits until Monday, the prospect has already spoken with two other business law firms. Speed is a core competitive advantage.
Every feature closes a specific revenue leak — from after-hours missed inquiries to status-call overload to unsigned engagement letters.
Secure web and mobile login with your firm's branding — GCs and founders see your name, not a generic Clio or MyCase label.
Separate flows for mergers, acquisitions, due diligence, and deal structuring — mapped to your matter types and PMS fields.
Dedicated litigation intake for breach of contract, shareholder disputes, and business torts — pre-qualifies matter value before the partner call.
Formation, funding, and governance questionnaires designed for founders researching counsel after hours on mobile.
Clients upload financial disclosures, cap tables, contract drafts, and litigation documents directly from phone or desktop.
Digital engagement agreements and authorization forms — signed before the first partner meeting.
Closing date set, filing submitted, diligence request sent — clients stay informed without calling your office.
Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, iManage, and Smokeball API sync — no forced migration from your current stack.
We do not build vanity apps. We build the shortest path from corporate inquiry to engagement letter — then keep clients informed so they stay.
Pre-qualifies M&A vs litigation vs startup matters so partners see engagement value before the first call
Captures deal documents while the client is still motivated — accelerates engagement letter execution
Converts high-intent B2B leads into signed engagements nights and weekends — before competitor #2 responds
Cuts status calls, lifts client satisfaction, and keeps corporate clients from shopping mid-matter
Intake lands in your existing matter file — no double entry, no platform rip-and-replace
Corporate demand does not wait for business hours. Your app must capture intake, push deal updates, and keep clients from calling — or shopping — mid-matter.
Practice-area forms, diligence upload, and engagement e-sign designed for one-handed use between meetings — not a desktop portal afterthought.
Corporate clients do not live in email. Milestone push for closings, filings, and diligence requests cuts status-call volume and lifts satisfaction.
Informed GCs renew engagements and refer peer counsel — protecting matter pipeline and AmLaw-style growth targets.
No platform migration. No replacing Clio or iManage. We build a branded client-facing layer that syncs with your existing stack via secure API.
Don't see your PMS or DMS? We integrate with any platform that exposes an API.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Working software every two weeks.
We map your after-hours inquiry volume, practice-area mix, and PMS stack — then define the minimum build that closes the engagement leak. You leave with a clear scope, fixed price, and delivery timeline.
Branded UI, encrypted back-end, practice-area intake, and PMS integration delivered in two-week sprints. You test against real corporate matters at every sprint review — no surprises at launch.
App Store submission, staff training, and client onboarding support. Quarterly reviews add new practice pathways, push rules, or integrations as your firm grows.
Business law firms typically evaluate four paths. Here's how they compare across the factors that actually matter.
Financial disclosures, deal documents, and litigation files are among the most sensitive data your firm holds. Security is default — not an add-on.
Financial disclosures and deal documents protected at every storage layer
All data encrypted between client, app, and servers
Only authorized clients access privileged matter information
GC, founder, and counterparty views scoped per matter — privilege preserved
Every client-attorney interaction logged for compliance
Full source code and IP transfer at launch — no lock-in
Run it for your firm. Corporate engagement economics make custom intake infrastructure one of the highest-ROI tech investments in business law practice.
After-hours leak vs. mobile intake capture
Framed from industry B2B intake studies + client portal benchmarks + Legal Length business law cohort results.
Example: Mid-sized business law firm recovering after-hours M&A engagements
Net result: portal often paid back with 1 signed engagement
ROI in weeks, not years
Based on recovering after-hours corporate inquiries + status-call capacity freed. Your discovery call includes firm-specific numbers.
One signed engagement covers the entire custom build
Real firms. Real engagements. Real intake outcomes.
“Our custom business law portal cut status-inquiry volume by 40% in the first 60 days. Clients upload diligence documents and sign engagement letters from their phone before we even get them on a call — that's matters we would have lost to slower firms.”
“Legal Length built a branded portal on top of our Clio stack without forcing us to switch platforms. Practice-area intake forms for M&A and contracts alone doubled our after-hours engagement sign-up rate.”
“Push notifications for closing dates and filing milestones changed how our corporate clients experience the firm. Our client satisfaction scores went from 4.2 to 4.8 in six months — GCs feel informed, not ignored.”
The questions corporate attorneys ask before committing to a build partner — answered directly.
Bundled portals work when your team already lives inside one practice-management stack and clients accept a generic experience. Custom business law firm app development makes sense when you need branded mobile intake, practice-area questionnaires, secure due-diligence upload, engagement-letter e-sign, or integrations your PMS does not offer natively. We scope the smallest build that solves the bottleneck — often a secure portal first, with native iOS and Android when mobile push and offline access justify the investment.
Faster than most managing partners expect. One signed M&A engagement commonly runs $25,000–$500,000+ in fees. A portal-only build starts around $15,000–$35,000. Recover one after-hours corporate inquiry your competitors would have signed, and the build is paid for. Add status-call reduction and higher client satisfaction scores, and the ongoing ROI compounds every month.
Yes. We build custom client portals and mobile apps as a front-end layer on top of your existing practice-management system — syncing matters, contacts, documents, and calendar events via secure API. You keep your current PMS; we extend it with business-law-branded intake, push notifications, and practice-area workflows without forcing a platform migration.
A focused client portal with secure login, practice-area intake, document upload, e-sign, and matter status updates typically ships in 8–12 weeks. Full native iOS and Android apps with push notifications, due-diligence flows, and PMS integration run 12–20 weeks depending on scope. We work in two-week sprints with working software you can test against real matters.
Portal-only builds start around $15,000–$35,000. Native iOS and Android apps with PMS integration, practice-area intake, and push notifications typically range from $40,000–$90,000 depending on integrations and feature depth. We provide a fixed-scope quote after discovery — no open-ended hourly billing.
100%. Full source code, design files, App Store accounts, and deployment documentation transfer to you at launch. No proprietary lock-in, no monthly platform rental tied to our stack. You can move to any developer or host at any time.
Yes. Role-based access, end-to-end encryption, and audit trails protect financial disclosures, cap tables, contract drafts, and litigation documents. Clients upload from phone or desktop; files sync to your matter file in Clio, iManage, or your existing stack — no email attachments, no privilege risk.
Tell us your practice-area mix, current PMS, and monthly inquiry volume — we'll return a scoped portal plan and an engagement ROI estimate within 24 hours. No obligation, no generic pitch deck.
