In legal tech, every deal takes time and trust. Invest in product, integrations and enterprise sales without giving up equity.
Real situations we hear in almost every first call.
01
A sponsor partner backs you. Then IT, risk, and the management committee each want their own review.
02
Firms expect ISO 27001 or SOC 2, data residency, and strict confidentiality controls. You fund the audits and the people long before deals close.
03
Firms expect iManage, NetDocuments and their practice management systems on day one. The engineering cost lands first.
04
Legal engineers and ex-lawyers who can build, sell and implement are rare and expensive. You hire them ahead of revenue.
From the first partner sponsor to firm-wide deployment. Every step of the LegalTech cycle has its own cash moment. Here is each one, and how Float fits.
