What Meruit is for

An efficient practice, and clients who feel looked after.

Small firms win on service. Meruit takes the re-typing and chasing off your team's plate, so the time goes back into the cases and the people behind them.

Efficient operations

Run the practice from one case file.

  • Intake, matters, deadlines, records and demands share the same facts, so nothing is typed twice
  • Every deadline in the firm in one list, with limitation dates a lawyer confirms
  • AI takes the first pass on chronologies and demand letters, with a source for every fact
  • One monthly price for the firm, so adding staff doesn't change the bill

Client experience

Faster, better-organized answers for every client.

  • Record a new enquiry and run the conflict check while the caller is still on the line
  • Find any fact, date or document in the matter in seconds when a client calls
  • Work that's ready on time, because the dates and the next step are never in one person's head

Coming On the roadmap, not in the product yet:

  • Client portal with plain-English updates
  • Texting and e-signature
  • A 24/7 intake assistant that collects facts, never gives advice

Product tour

Five tools that share one case file.

Each one does a job your team does every day, and hands its work to the next, so the facts you capture at intake are still there when the demand goes out.

Intake & conflict check

Know in a minute whether you can take the case.

  • Record the caller, incident date, state, what happened, other parties and insurer
  • Conflict check against every contact and party in the firm, close spellings included
  • A suggested statute-of-limitations date for a lawyer to confirm

How a PI case moves through Meruit

From the first call to the settlement.

  1. 1

    Intake

    The call comes in

    Record the enquiry while you're on the phone. Meruit checks for conflicts across the firm and suggests a limitation date.

    See how (Intake)
  2. 2

    Sign-up

    You take the case

    Convert the enquiry to a matter in one step. Parties, dates and notes carry across; nothing is typed twice.

  3. 3

    Records

    Treatment and records

    Upload records as they arrive. Approve chronology entries tied to their pages while specials add up.

  4. 4

    Demand

    The demand goes out

    Your template, filled from the file. A lawyer edits, approves and locks it, then downloads it as Word.

    See how (Demand)
  5. 5

    Settle

    Negotiate and settle

    Deadlines keep the follow-ups moving. Move the matter to settled and closed with its whole history kept.

Trust and ethics

Built around the rules you practice by.

Your duties of competence, confidentiality and supervision don't change because software is involved. Meruit is designed so the lawyer stays in charge and every step is on the record.

A lawyer approves everything that leaves

The AI drafts and suggests. Nothing counts or goes out until a named lawyer approves it, and the approval is recorded.

Every AI fact shows its source

Chronology entries link to the page and the exact line they came from. If there's no source, Meruit says so.

Never trained on your files

Your clients' information is used only to do your work, with AI providers that agree not to keep it.

Built for your ethical duties

Ethical walls, required two-factor sign-in and an audit log that can't be edited. Designed with ABA Formal Opinion 512 in mind.

How we protect your clients' information

What could you get back?

Put your own numbers in.

A quick way to think about where the hours go on records and demands. It's an illustration using your assumptions, not a measured result.

Illustration · your assumptions

25%

On your numbers, that's about

20 hours a month

≈ $900 of staff time a month, or $10,800 a year

This is arithmetic on the assumptions you enter, not a measured result or a promise. The starting values are placeholders, not industry figures; change them to match your firm.

Pricing

One price for the firm. Start free.

A monthly price for the whole firm, not per lawyer, and no per-case fees. Essentials is free; add AI when you're ready.
