LEAP practice management software has grown from the belief that it should be fast and easy for legal practitioners to manage matter documents, accounting and billing, so they can focus on practicing law.
Today, LEAP is the world’s largest provider of legal practice management software for small firms; with clients across the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.
Firms have relied on LEAP since 1992 for innovative and powerful software to simplify their workflow. We take this responsibility seriously and dedicate millions of dollars each year to product development. It’s resulted in benefits such as a cloud-based and mobile interface. This allows teams to access their LEAP data anywhere, anytime.
In addition, over 13,000 automated forms and templates are regularly updated for all areas of law, and purpose-built for the United States’ federal and state jurisdictions.
We’re obsessive about evolving LEAP with feedback from clients, so the software is easy to use and allows small firms to get more work done. Our goal is to empower small firms to make more money.
After all, everything LEAP does is geared toward helping the attorneys who help people.
