Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Rapid Legal is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Rapid Legal addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Court filing is a logistics nightmare — every jurisdiction has different rules (e-filing vs paper, specific cover sheets, local requirements), deadlines are non-negotiable, and small firms can't afford a full-time filing runner or courthouse messenger
Process serving is unreliable and hard to track — defendant avoiding service, wrong address, server doesn't show up, and you need proof of service documentation across multiple cases in multiple jurisdictions before the hearing date
General counsel needs outside counsel for a niche matter — employment dispute in Singapore, regulatory filing in Brazil, or patent prosecution in Germany — but their existing panel doesn't cover it, and cold-calling firms from a directory is a crapshoot
Litigation paralegal spends 20 minutes per filing switching between the case management system and the eFiling portal — downloading documents from one, uploading to the other, re-entering case numbers and party names that already exist in the CMS
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Rapid Legal
Attorney prepares litigation documents (complaint, motion, brief) → needs to file with the court and serve opposing parties
After Rapid Legal
Rapid Legal staff reviews filing → submits electronically → court-stamped documents returned (90% within 2 days) → proof of service generated → case proceeds
Integrations & hand-offs
Clio integration: select documents from Clio matter and eFile directly (Clio App Directory). NetDocuments: browse and attach documents from NetDocuments workspace (help center guide). iManage: file directly from iManage (help center guide). LegalConnect provides back-end technology platform with REST API. Now part of Proceed national litigation support network (appellate + e-filing + service of process + dispute management, 50-state coverage).
