Built From Zero to $14M+ in Funded Growth and Adoption by the World's Top Law Firms
A legal collaboration platform built from the ground up — adopted by Cooley, CMS, and Fortune 500 corporate legal teams, and backed by $14M+ in funding after launch.
What they were up against.
Communication and collaboration between legal professionals and their clients was exceedingly difficult — incompatible systems, siloed data, and document handoffs that lost context every time matters moved between firms, or between firms and corporate legal departments. Conflict checks happened too late. Privilege protection was inconsistent across tools. The day-to-day work of a global legal matter was fragmented across email threads, file shares, and ad-hoc spreadsheets. A coalition of top global law firms (Cooley, CMS, Rajah & Tann) and Fortune 500 corporate legal departments (Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Unilever, Skyscanner, Turo, Instacart) decided the industry needed something better — and didn't have the team to build it. They engaged Frogslayer.

How we did it.
Six months of discovery before code
We interviewed lawyers around the world and mapped how matters actually move between firms and corporate legal — working alongside cross-firm-collaboration expert Heidi K. Gardner, PhD, and a legal advisory board of Fortune 500 counsel.
Build matter-centric, not tool-centric
We architected around the matter itself, so the platform could work across firms and tools rather than forcing anyone to rebuild their stack.
What changed.
The platform launched and grew into a category-defining product. The company raised $14M+ in funding and was recognized by The American Lawyer, Artificial Lawyer, and Legaltech News as a defining example of legal innovation. Cooley, CMS, and Rajah & Tann brought it into day-to-day matter management; corporate legal teams at Microsoft, Deutsche Bank, Unilever, Skyscanner, Turo, and Instacart adopted it in-house. Frogslayer remained the engineering partner across the platform's first several years — through GA launch, mobile expansion, and ongoing iteration as new firms onboarded. Delivered as a Value Sprint and run through AI Office.
The system.
Matter-centric secure workspace
Every person, document, communication, and tool that touches a matter, synchronized in one secure space — encryption, conflict checking, and confidentiality/privilege protections built in from day one.
Bring your own systems & behaviors
Firms keep their existing stack and ways of working — the platform works across firms and tools instead of forcing a rebuild.
Web & mobile, continuously evolved
Shipped on web and mobile, and grown through years of ongoing managed development as new firms onboard.
Inside the build.
An expert team, Frogslayer's strengths lie not just in development, but in their ability to consult strategically. Throughout, the team has kept the client's best interests in mind, providing suggestions to elevate both the product and the business. Their dedication and support set them apart.
