A major milestone for our team: the Official Launch of the Nojumi platform. We set out to build an all-in-one solution that truly supports law firms. With this release, we successfully integrated our core Practice Management suite with Grounded AI, full-scale accounting, and native messaging into a single, unified workspace for the legal community.
Our History
The first beta version of the Nojumi practice management suite was unofficially released to a select few number of firms. As external law firms began signing up for the platform, our initial clients, who were already using Nojumi’s early modules, were eager to try the new system and quickly joined the migration queue.
While undergoing SaaS development, we wanted a functional product from day one to achieve market validation. Rather than waiting to release complete software, we started small by launching targeted modules for specific practice areas, driven by our early tagline: “Private Mortgage Automation for Lawyers.” Later, we released modules for real estate and corporate, and continue to add support for more practice areas.
We established a comprehensive new architecture tailored specifically for a scalable SaaS environment. This pivotal restructuring allowed our complex legal workflows to operate smoothly in the background, setting a strong technical foundation for our upcoming public software releases.
After successfully serving close to 20,000 clients, we realized the software’s broader potential to improve access to justice. We pivoted our strategy to rebuild the system as a robust SaaS product, empowering other legal professionals to serve their clients more efficiently.
When the pandemic struck, the software became a crucial asset for remote operations. Driven to give back, the team leveraged our platform to offer Legal Support for Ontario’s COVID-19 Frontline Workers, preparing and providing 600 free Wills and Powers of Attorney exclusively for healthcare workers.
We decided to build our own practice management tools. Deployed internally, the software gradually replaced third-party platforms like Fast Company, Due Process, Clio, Will Builder, and Conveyancer. This proprietary system fueled growth, enabling the firm to provide legal services at highly competitive prices.
By establishing strong internal communication channels, the team began evolving these scripts into a cohesive product. Team members documented their daily processes and brought them into frequent meetings for prioritization, generating thousands of pages of notes on user pain points to iteratively test and automate the platform.
To scale these early successes, Behrouz reached out to York University and, with the assistance of dedicated students, began building the product. At this stage, there was no user interface—just pure code working behind the scenes to automate manual legal work.
With a computer science background before law school, our CEO founded Lexpand, a law firm whose core goal is to automate legal practice. The journey started with brief, targeted automations to streamline daily tasks.
Our CEO, Behrouz, started his career at a Bay Street firm and quickly noticed significant inefficiencies across the legal profession. Observing a gap in technology adoption within legal practice as a whole, the initial vision for a better solution was formed.
