About the Legal Software Report
At Uptime Legal, we’ve spent over a decade helping law firms manage their technology and migrate critical systems to the cloud. We’ve worked with hundreds of firms, software publishers, resellers, consultants, and experts—and we bring that perspective to this report.
Now in its fifth annual edition, the Legal Software Report reflects our education-first approach: vendor-neutral analysis, practical guidance, and clear explanations of what each product does well (and where another tool might fit better).
This year’s edition adds brief AI Capability notes to each product profile—focusing only on native, in-product features (no roundups of generic AI tools). The goal is to help firms understand where AI is truly useful inside the tools they already use, with human review and data governance front and center.
We hope you find the 2025 Legal Software Report useful—and if you have questions or want a second opinion on fit or deployment, please get in touch.
