01 · The Challenge

What needed to be solved

The firm's legacy system was a decade old, prone to outages, and completely unusable on mobile. Partners were emailing sensitive case documents directly to clients, creating serious security exposure. Junior associates spent 2+ hours daily on document organization tasks. The firm needed a modern, secure platform before an upcoming government contract audit.

02 · Our Solution

How we built it

We designed and built a secure, role-based client portal with encrypted document storage, real-time case status updates, integrated billing, and a mobile-first interface. We migrated 10 years of case data, rebuilt the internal case management workflows, and implemented multi-factor authentication with SSO. The entire project was delivered in 14 weeks — two weeks ahead of schedule.
