External Network Access
SimpleLaw's law practice management software provides you access to a vast, high-quality network of potential clients, paralegals, and co-counsel resources.
→ Connect with Clients
Potential clients can find your profile on the SimpleLaw website. No fees for new clients or cases. We also have a vetting process to make sure that the clients are ready to hire, not just looking for free advice.
→ On-Demand Paralegal Support
SimpleLaw partners with NALA, the leading paralegal association representing more than 18,000 paralegals nationwide. Their certified paralegals add their profiles to SimpleLaw so you get the help you need, whatever the task at hand, whenever it's needed.
→ Co-Counsel and Case Referral
The co-counsel and case referral process is easy as 1, 2, 3: we verify attorneys first, then you can search and the client confirms the attorney, whether as co-counsel or a referral. Stop spending all that time emailing or calling fellow attorneys to see if they are available for a new case. With SimpleLaw, you can also search for co-counsel right through the platform to save time.

Security
At SimpleLaw, your data is our priority. We make sure our security is strong, robust, and top-of-the-line. With constant monitoring and improvement, you can be sure that your data is in good hands.
→ Unique Firm Domain
Because we implement the best encryption technologies for your firm, each account on SimpleLaw has its own unique domain. This type of domain privacy protection shields personal data in the system from unauthorized access. Not only do we maximize your privacy, but we take extra steps to ensure it.
→ Data Encryption
Data encryption is where data is changed into a new form—like a secret code—so that it's harder for unwanted users to access. To protect all data traveling to and from the SimpleLaw platform, we encrypt everything so that your data is safe and sound.
→ Malware, Virus, and Phishing Protection
The most common data threats are malware, computer viruses, and email phishing. We monitor for all of that 24/7 to catch them before they reach you.
→ Trusted Integrations
Some case management software platforms integrate with hundreds of other pieces of software, but each integration is another potential data threat. That's why SimpleLaw only integrates with a handful of key, vetted software providers that we know don't pose that threat.
