Our take
Managing a legal practice takes an immense amount of time and skill, and this can draw practices away from their clients. Leap solves this problem by offering a suite of practice management, accounting and collaboration tools.
Leap has gained a great deal of traction since its launched, largely because it offers practices a comprehensive, all-in-one solution that is proven to improve productivity. Leap now has offices in six countries and is trusted by over 61,000 lawyers around the world. This is testament to the platform's considerable value.
Leap has secured a strong lead in the legal software market, but it will need to continuously build its product in order to remain as competitive as possible.
