The problems we solve

Deal teams keep asking
the same questions.

The questions that don't have a clean data answer in legal services, whether you're underwriting personal injury, family, immigration, employment, or the next vertical that gets investor attention.

?

"How big is this market, really?"

Every deck has a $400B figure. Nobody can tell you how the universe breaks down by DMA, firm size, practice area, or growth trajectory, because nobody's counted it firm-by-firm.

?

"Who are the comparable firms for this target?"

Market multiples in PI depend on the peer set. You're stitching comps from Pitchbook, bar rolls, and partner intros, and hoping the comparison actually holds.

?

"Is this founder's growth claim believable?"

The CIM says 30% YoY. You need independent market context before you underwrite it, but legal services still makes that harder than it should be.

?

"How is our portfolio performing vs. peers?"

Your portcos tell you they're winning. You want to verify it against the firms that aren't in your portfolio. Today that means a custom consultant engagement every time.

?

"Where are the next bolt-ons?"

Proprietary sourcing in PI is still relationship-driven. The fast movers want a screen that surfaces firms fitting their thesis, by size, growth, geography, and vulnerability signal.

?

"How do we position this exit?"

Your portco is about to run a process. You need a market context story, their category position, growth trajectory, moat, backed by something other than hand-crafted charts.

Use cases

Across the full
investment lifecycle.

How deal teams and portfolio operators actually use the platform, from origination through exit.

01 · MARKET SIZING & THESIS

Defensible TAMs. Real category maps.

Size a PI sub-vertical

Coming Soon. Future vertical maps will be shared when the Intelligence product is ready.

Map a target DMA

Coming Soon. Future market maps will be shared when the Intelligence product is ready.

Validate an investment thesis

Is PI consolidating as fast as the deck claims? Is LSA really displacing SEO? The data makes the hypothesis testable.

Track the consolidation curve

M&A in PI in real time, who bought whom, who's rolling up, which markets are next.

02 · SOURCING & SCREENS

Proprietary pipeline, systematized.

Build a target screen

Firms by size, growth rate, geography, practice mix, Marketing Firm Score. Save the screen, get alerts as firms move into range.

Surface bolt-ons for a portco

Firms adjacent to your portfolio company, geographic or practice-area extensions, sized correctly for integration.

Spot firms under strain

Coming Soon. Future signal views will be announced after launch.

Evaluate roll-up platforms

Assess any existing platform's footprint, integration quality, Marketing Firm Score consistency across offices, and competitive exposure.

Short-list from the universe

Coming Soon is too many. One thesis-aligned short-list of 50–200 firms to initiate outreach or track passively.

Monitor a competitor's pipeline

Track which firms another PE/strategic is talking to, hiring patterns, RFP activity, quiet diligence signals.

03 · DILIGENCE

Trust but verify, fast.

Validate target's growth claims

Ad spend trajectory, attorney headcount over time, review velocity, web traffic, an independent read on the CIM.

Build a comp set

True apples-to-apples peers on size, growth stage, practice mix, and DMA density, not a convenience sample.

Assess management team

Attorney directory shows firm history, tenure patterns, signals of churn risk or lateral vulnerability.

Stress-test marketing ROI

Target claims $X per signed case. Real-world PI benchmarks by firm size let you triangulate plausibility.

Competitive moat analysis

Is the firm's Findability / Infrastructure / Reputation / Market Activation position defensible, or bought with recent spend?

Commission a custom report

Tailored diligence pack for a specific target, market, or investment thesis, written and delivered by the Firmatics team.

04 · PORTFOLIO & EXIT

Manage actively. Exit with evidence.

Portco performance vs. peers

Standing benchmark of your portcos against the non-portfolio universe. Know when you're actually winning.

Flag operational risk

Early signals, Marketing Firm Score decline, attorney exits, reputation dips, spend anomalies, flagged before the quarterly call.

Support LP reporting

Defensible market-context narrative for investor updates. No more bespoke research every quarter.

Pre-exit positioning

Assemble the external story that buyers need to see, category leadership, defensible moat, growth runway, grounded in data.

Buy-side evaluation

On the other side of a deal, benchmark the target against your entire universe of options before bidding.

Workflow integrations

Coming Soon. We are not publishing integration promises during the Community-first launch.

Built by legal marketers

We were the ones
your deal teams
were calling.

Before Firmatics existed, PE diligence teams investigating personal injury kept hitting the same wall, no systematic data layer for the market. They'd call former operators like us, pay for custom research, and stitch together what they could.

Firmatics is the platform we always wanted to hand those teams. Built by senior PI marketers who've defended quarterly budgets, run national campaigns across every major DMA, and sat in the rooms where operators answer the questions investors are asking.

Why this matters for investors

  • We know what's signal vs. noise

    Operator-built metrics, not generic SaaS indicators retrofit for legal.

  • We know how firms actually grow

    The 3-to-300-lawyer spectrum, we've lived the inflection points.

  • We can translate data into ops

    When a portco needs to act on a signal, Advisory can embed senior operators fractionally, same team, same dataset.

  • We're independent of the firms

    Firmatics doesn't represent any firm in a deal. The data serves all sides equally.

The next step

Start underwriting
with data.

Request access, we'll schedule a 20-minute qualification call, walk you through the platform against a target of your choosing, and scope the right engagement for your fund.
