Small firms

The back office of a big firm, sized for yours.

Most practice software is built for firms with an operations team. Meruit is built for the firm where the managing partner also answers the phone on Fridays.

Why small firms choose Meruit

Less software to manage. More time for clients.

Made for 1 to 20 lawyers

No IT department needed: Meruit runs in the browser, and the Large Firms plan includes guided data migration and template setup. We add features only when they help a small office.

One price for the firm

A monthly price for the whole firm, not per lawyer, so adding a paralegal doesn't change the bill. No per-case fees. Essentials is free for up to 2 users.

You stay the lawyer

The AI proposes; you approve. Nothing that leaves the office goes without a named lawyer's approval, and it's all on the record.

Security a big firm would expect

Required two-factor sign-in, an audit log nothing can edit, ethical walls, and your data kept separate from every other firm's.

Not a PI firm?

The core works for any practice.

Intake and conflict checks, matters, deadlines and documents work for any kind of case. What's specific to personal injury today is the medical chronology and the demand letter. Practice packs for other areas are on our roadmap.

If you practice in one of these areas and want to help shape its pack, tell us when you apply to be a design partner.
