Think Big, Spend Small, and Expand Without the Bloat

Bringing on new technology often means piling on overhead for things like office space, headcount and payroll. You soon realize the push to recoup capital expenditures quickly can collide with the reality of managing operational expenses.

LegalConnect changes that calculus in three ways.

First, it’s a low-risk, low-cost investment. Second, it offers the welcomed simplicity of an all-in-one platform. Third, it delivers the commercial services you get paid for and is also the control center you use to run the business. 

Here’s a closer look at how these synergies accelerate financial returns.

How Litigation Support Service Platforms Drive Faster ROI

The longer it takes to get up and running, the longer it takes to turn a profit. That’s why, from a business strategy standpoint, LegalConnect makes uncommonly good sense.

Here’s a look at its features:

 
Setup in Minutes, Not Months

LegalConnect is designed to make setup a breeze. There’s no hardware to configure or downloads to manage. Once your account is opened, you can set up the services you want to offer in the LegalConnect Partner Onboarding Portal in as little as 30 minutes.

Since your busy daytime schedule may not leave time for learning opportunities, training is available 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to allow for after-hours coaching. Even better, is access to the vast industry knowledge of LegalConnect’s Partner Success Team—which is at your disposal. With more than 75 years of combined experience working in attorney services, each team member understands the nuances of legal support service companies, the legal system, and how to work with law firms.

Count on that expertise to help you knock down any obstacles between you and your ROI.

 
A Solution that Fits Your Business and Your Focus

Whether you focus on process serving, eFiling, or both, LegalConnect offers features that enable you to provide each service with greater speed and accuracy—and adapt to your business model seamlessly. 

 
Pricing That Puts You in Control

Set your pricing based onvolume,cost of services, orother criteria. For example, the platform’s  Non-Law Firm Pricing Feature allows you to control pricing, so you’re compensated fairly for orders that require greater effort to fulfill. 

 
Operate Efficiently

Want to place orders on behalf of your customers? Now you can. Equip your team to place customer orders, dispatch work, enter statuses and send conformed copies and proofs to users, plus more. 

 
Let Them Order All They Want

If high-volume revenue is what you’re after, the Self-Service Customer Portal is the answer. It allows law firms to place orders themselves, in any quantity, at any time—eliminating bottlenecks and streaming cash back to you faster.

More Courts, More Clients, Faster ROI

The larger area you can serve, the greater earnings potential you’ll have—and the faster your ROI. LegalConnect expands your service area beyond your physical location, positioning your startup to be competitive in major markets.

For starters, you’ll be able to service the entire state of California with court-certified eFiling across all 58 superior courts that permit eFiling. That includes the nation’s single largest unified court system, Los Angeles Superior Court, in addition to high-volume courts such as San Francisco, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties.

You’ll also be able to serve the state of Texas, which has more than 450 state district courts and over 500 county courts. There’s plenty of opportunity to recoup costs in the Lone Star State, which recently saw more than 6.9 million filings.

With LegalConnect slated to enter new states in Q3 2025 and beyond, that’s just the first wave of the addressable market you’ll soon be able to serve.

The Invisible Edge That Keeps You in Front

LegalConnect isn’t just software—it’s a growth engine that continuously evolves to make your services more attractive to law firm clients in addition to meeting your business needs.

For example, a seamless integration with the popular law firm management software, Clio, in addition to integrations with leading document management applications iManage, and NetDocuments, automate document handling, and reduce redundant tasks for both you and your clients.

You can also use the platform’s Reports feature to monitor key metrics that affect ROI.

In real time, you can get invoice payment reports to track revenue trends, order summary reports for visibility into order volumes, and custom reports that tailor insights specifically for your business needs.

Another feature that speeds ROI is frictionless payments. LegalConnect offers several eCommerce tools that simplify payment processing and reduce collections headaches, including an integration with QuickBooks Online to help simplify your invoicing.

More Than a Product—An Investment in Growth 

Capital expenditures are about more than just product purchases, just as ROI is about more than revenue. It’s also about efficiency, security, and customer experience, all of which build value into your business.

As you consider your litigation support technology purchase, think about the dimensions that don’t directly generate dollars and cents, but do profoundly impact your business:

  • Employee Productivity: Does it improve your team’s workflow? 
  • Data Security: Can you sleep at night knowing confidential information is safe? 
  • Process Improvement: Does it free up time for higher-value tasks? 
  • Customer Acquisition: Does it expand your market reach? 
  • Client Experience: Will they love using it? 

LegalConnect does all this and more. It helps you build your brand with a best-in-class platform, expert training, and ongoing support to ensure your startup litigation support business thrives.
