The Search for Zen – How ZenCase Got Started
ZenCase started with a simple yet ambitious goal: to find a practice management system that helps law firms achieve better results with less time and effort—something every firm strives for. We explored countless options, but none effectively addressed the biggest challenges law firms face today:
- Information overload
- Client pressure to produce more work product in less time
- Complex and evolving billing arrangements that require a degree in rocket science.
So, after a whole bunch of coding by some really wild developers, ZenCase was born.
Software Built for Attorneys, by Attorneys
ZenCase is uniquely positioned to take case management software to the next level, because it was built for attorneys, by attorneys. Our team knows what law firms need and want because we have been there in your shoes.
Unlike legacy software, ZenCase is constantly evolving as we are challenged to take its functionality to new heights. We are driven by a simple core goal: To find better ways to solve difficult problems that lawyers face in a way that is effortless.
