We get paid from the number we move.
Our fee is one tenth of the first-year value we measure in your firm, fixed in writing before any work begins. This page shows how that value is found, how it is counted, and what happens if it does not show up.
Three leaks, and every firm has all of them.
The work we do is aimed at these three, in the order they cost you the most. Each one has a number, and the number is what we measure.
Leads that never sign
A prospect who waits a day for a reply hires someone else. Calls after five go to voicemail. Follow-ups depend on someone remembering. You already paid for every one of those leads.
Hours that never bill
Retyping intake, chasing signatures, collecting documents, answering status calls. Lawyers do this work every day, and none of it reaches an invoice.
Costs that grow with headcount
Per-seat software, outsourced answering, overtime, one more assistant for every new lawyer. The bill rises with the firm, so growth gets more expensive each year.
Put in rough numbers. See the value and the fee.
Every field starts with a modest example. Change them to your firm’s. Nothing you type leaves this page.
// An estimate from your inputs. The baseline we measure together replaces it with your real numbers, and only that baseline sets the fee. From year two, the whole value is yours.
Six months, one number.
Every engagement follows the same path. The biggest leak gets fixed first, and your team runs the system before we hand it over.
Measure it together
We talk to the people doing the work and pull the numbers from your own records.
Put a number on it
Each fix sized in dollars on your numbers, ranked by what it is worth.
Fix the biggest leak first
We build in dollar order, alongside your team, and test each piece on live work.
Your team runs it
Training by role, repeated until it sticks. Then the hand-off.
What counts toward the value, and what never does.
The rules are written into the proposal and agreed before work begins, so the dashboard has one reading.
| Value line | How it is counted | What never counts |
|---|---|---|
| More signed matters | Matters signed through the system above your baseline signed rate, times your own average fee. | Matters that would have signed at the baseline rate. Fee increases you make on your own. |
| Hours back | Admin hours removed, at your blended rate, only when they show up as billed time or new matters. | Hours that free up and go unused. We report those as capacity, outside the fee. |
| Costs removed | Software subscriptions retired, outsourced services ended, overtime ended. | Payroll cuts. We never recommend letting anyone go to hit a number. |
| Cash sooner | Invoices past due at baseline that the system collects. | One-off windfalls, settlements, and anything outside the systems we built. |
One tenth, fixed, paid in thirds.
The fee is one number, written into the proposal. It never moves after that, up or down.
At signing
The baseline is signed and the build begins.
At go-live
The systems run on your live work.
When the value shows
Due only when the dashboard shows the projected first-year value.
We keep working until the number shows.
If the dashboard does not show the projected value by month six, we keep working at no charge, and the last third waits until it does. The full terms, including what each side commits to, are in writing in every proposal.
Your growth stays yours.
We price once. After that, the system sits on your server and every new client, hire, and matter adds to your side of the ledger.
- Legal feesNo share of legal feesFee-sharing rules protect your clients and your license. Our fee is a fixed number set before work begins, and it is never tied to what you bill a client.
- Year twoNo running percentageThere is no year-two cut. The value we measured in year one keeps paying in year two and every year after, and all of it is yours.
- HeadcountNo per-seat licenseVirtualaw OS is licensed per site, on your own server. Your tenth lawyer costs the same as your first.
Five ways to buy this result.
Every firm that wants more clients per lawyer ends up paying one of these. The difference is what happens to the bill as the firm grows.
| Option | How you pay | As the firm grows |
|---|---|---|
| Hire more staff | Salaries and benefits, every month. | Rises with every new caseload. |
| Per-seat software | A subscription for each user. | Rises with every hire, and your data lives with the vendor. |
| An agency retainer | A monthly fee for as long as you stay. | Stays, whether or not the number moved. |
| A consultant on a running percentage | A cut of what you make. | Rises with your success, indefinitely. |
| Virtualaw | One fixed fee, priced from the value we measure, with the last third held until it shows. | A flat per-site license on your own server. Growth costs nothing extra. |
Built for firms with more demand than hours.
We take on firms that share one profile, so the method, the baseline, and the fee work the same way every time. If your firm matches all four, write to me.
A good fit for firms that
- have steady leads and more work than the team can carry
- want to grow the caseload without growing the payroll
- will share real numbers and read them on a shared dashboard
- want the system on their own server, under their own control
A poor fit for firms that
- want software installed and every process left as it is
- will not let us talk to the people doing the work
- want the AI to give legal advice. It proposes, and a lawyer approves
- need a vendor to blame
// Smaller than this profile? A one tenth fee on a smaller firm’s numbers does not cover a full engagement, so I will say so. The plugins in the marketplace and the free Nexus are the better start, and the door stays open as the firm grows.
Send me your numbers. I will show you where the hours go.
Headcount, leads per month, how many sign, and what your software costs. Rough is fine. I read every submission myself and reply with the biggest leak I see, in dollars, whether or not we work together.
// My own firms run on this system. One went from zero clients to three million dollars in fees collected in its first year.
