What is the LegalTech industry?

LegalTech is the booming legal technology industry, building software solutions that are transforming the way legal services are delivered.

For small law firms, it’s a hard job, a stressful job, and while they’re here for us, Smokeball is here for them. Our software empowers them to get their work done faster, work smarter, and track their time accurately so they get paid properly for the work they’re doing.
