If an attorney conducts any form of civil or criminal litigation in U.S. courts, they will be dealing with motions filed in court. While arguing the motions before the judge may be more dramatic and made-for-TV, the actual writing of the motions is likely more important. This means that the ability to write a motion for court is central to a litigator’s potential for professional success–especially for mid-sized or smaller firms without the vast resources of Big Law.

Patent due diligence processes take too long. The information you need is publicly available but accessing it is often tedious & inefficient, requiring you to wade through dozens of PTO websites or for-free tools to gather what you need. Plus, it frequently occurs late in the game, leaving professionals under pressure, sifting through chaotic 100-page PDFs, and frustrated with poorly formatted information & patent numbers.

There's something romantic about managing client relationships "by hand." That is, until you have so many complex cases on your hands that you accidentally forget to follow up with an important lead or get someone's partner's name wrong. That's not the way to keep clients happy. They need to be important to you AND feel that way. But trying to do it all on your own can stretch you thin and lead to wasted time and lost revenue.
