You didn't go to law school to chase invoices.

Too many law firms are trapped in a cycle: too busy doing the work to fix how the work gets done. Billing is manual. Documents live in five different places. And the tools that should help often create more complexity than they solve.

Meanwhile, overhead creeps up, realization rates drop, and the partners who should be practicing law are stuck playing office manager, accountant, and IT support — all at once.

There's a better way. And it doesn't require a six-figure tech investment.

Questions & Answers

Everything You're Wondering

How is this different from other legal tech platforms? +

Most legal tech platforms offer point solutions — one tool for billing, another for documents, another for time tracking. Propel Legal combines AI tools, hands-on consulting, and financial services into a single ecosystem — so you don't need to stitch together a dozen subscriptions to run an efficient practice.

What does the free assessment actually tell me? +

You'll receive a personalized maturity score across five operational pillars (People, Process, Product, Tools, Rules), a comparison against industry benchmarks for your practice area and firm size, and a dollar-value estimate of the profit you're leaving on the table — with a clear roadmap to capture it.

I'm not technical. Will this work for me? +

Absolutely. Our tools are designed for lawyers, not developers. The document management system plugs into M365 tools you already use. The AI time capture runs silently in the background. And if you prefer a guided approach, our consultants handle the setup and training for you.

How quickly will I see results? +

Most firms see measurable improvement within 90 days. Quick wins — like automated time capture and streamlined document management — deliver value in the first week. The deeper optimization work (process redesign, compliance automation) typically shows a 10–15% profit improvement within one maturity level advancement over 3–9 months.

What does it cost? +

The initial assessment is completely free. From there, the self-guided deep-dive report is $99, and a consultative strategy session starts at $499. AI tools range from free (document management) to $50/month (time capture). We price for accessibility — because every firm deserves the tools to operate at its best.
