Denver, Colorado–August 7, 2023 – Actionstep, a leading provider of cloud-based practice management and legal accounting software supporting more than 2,200 law firms in North America, announced today it has added nearly 310 new North American law firms in the first seven months of 2024. The rapid expansion of Actionstep's North American business reflects trends in the market as firms seek to move from outdated or point-solution technology to cloud-based, adaptable, end-to-end platforms that allow for firm expansion and evolution.
With a focus on offering full-featured accounting functionality as part of its law firm management platform, Actionstep acquired Soluno, a purpose-built legal accounting product last fall. To date, these solutions have been available as individual products. Actionstep is now integrating the two into a complete practice management and legal accounting suite to provide customers with the option of using connected Practice Management and Legal Accounting on one Actionstep platform. Further details will be announced with the ILTACON 2024 educational conference.
As Actionstep continues to focus on the most pressing productivity, automation, security, and integration needs of its midsize law firm customers, the growth of its platform customers has been managed in parallel with key expansion of the Actionstep team in North America. In 2024, Actionstep has added key seasoned legal technology and SaaS professionals in the region, including the addition of Chris Alaimo as Chief Technology Officer and Scott Hughes as Senior VP of Business Development, and the strategic promotion of Beth Thompson to Vice President of Market Strategy in North America. Actionstep’s product and development teams, led by Valerie Connell, have also expanded by 12% in 2024, along with continued growth of the customer team by nearly 20%.
“Legal professionals are in need of technology solutions that truly make them more productive by automating workflows and connecting the dots between the varied tasks and responsibilities in their law firm,” said Early Stephens, CEO, Actionstep. “The addition of a comprehensive legal accounting suite to our practice management product offering is a cornerstone of our commitment to delivering what our customers need to succeed, now and well into the future.”
Actionstep’smulti-decade experience working with law firms has led them to a distinct and proven model for law firm technology adoption. Seeing that law firms are only able to thoroughly leverage technology if properly implemented and made accessible, user friendly, and intuitive, Actionstep has developed and expanded a network of accredited expert implementation partners to ensure law firm customers leverage best practice and tailor the platform to their needs.
“We take great pride in our strategic partnerships and go to great lengths to ensure that our customers gain access to best-in-class technology experts that are equally vested in their success, using Actionstep as their mission critical technology platform,” added Stephens.
