About Us

DirectLaw™ is revolutionizing the way legal services are delivered by re-engineering legal processes, and enabling organizations and governments to deliver improved solutions to consumers and businesses at low or fixed costs.

DirectLaw™, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Epoq, US, Inc.,  was founded by Richard Granat, at attorney, in 2000, to provide affordable legal solutions to consumers and small business over the Internet. Since 2000 we have created and managed over 30 legal specific web sites that serve these markets with automated legal forms and legal information. In 2008, Epoq US launched DirectLaw to bring our web-based internet technologies to solos and small law firms.

We have won awards for our legal solutions in recognition of our continuing contribution to change, and have achieved extensive press coverage over the years.

By pushing the boundaries of delivery technology, Epoq has helped pioneer radical changes to the legal industry.

Epoq's ongoing investment in legal services has led to the evolution of an unrivalled set of technologies, processes and relationships, enabling us to deliver on our original vision and realize the benefits of the Internet, a decade after we first began.

We are a company with:

an advanced technology platform that supports a virtual law practice;
developed legal content and automated state specific legal document libraries;
skills in developing and programming web-based applications  and creating legal information web sites; and
marketing and service delivery skills

We have unrivalled experience in new approaches to delivering legal services. We specialize in creating legal solutions that serve the consuming public directly, using our Rapidocs technology as a conduit for producing huge cost savings and generating new sources of revenues in the delivery of legal forms and documents.

What makes us different?

DirectLaw provides a client portal that enables a law firm to deliver online legal services directly to consumers. It is the convergence of our legal content and virtual law firm technologies that makes us unique. We have produced a huge range of "intelligent" legal documents, that cover a vast array of legal situations that form the basis for an online legal service.

There are other practice management solutions that enable a law office to manage timekeeping and billing, case management, calendaring, document management, and other back office functions through a web-based program. Traditionally these functions have been supported by Windows applications and are focused on managing the "back office" of a law firm.

DirectLaw™, on the other hand, is totally focused on the concept of the client portal, the client experience, and creating new legal services that create revenue for your  law firm. The other web-based practice management solution do not create new revenue sources for your law firm. They may help in reducing the cost of managing your back-office, but they are not "client-focused" in the way that DirectLaw™ creates a robust client portal that becomes the client's secure and private web space where many online legal service can be delivered.

For document intensive practices, such as a wills and estates practice or a small business practice, the DirectLaw™ web-enabled document automation solution is unique and the foundation for creating new web-based legal services. No other web-based practice management services company can make that claim.

Corporate culture

Innovation, ingenuity and creativity are watchwords for what we do.

We work together in an informal and mostly virtual environment to produce high quality, market leading legal solutions.

Our staff say that working at DirectLaw/Epoq is as challenging as it is rewarding, due to our groundbreaking technology and a fast paced, yet supportive atmosphere where everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.

We are a fast growing company, still small enough to care about individual people, but big enough to partner with household names and blue chip clients. As such, our staff turnover is one of the lowest in the industry. Many of the employees who started out with us a decade ago still work for the company.

DirectLaw uses its own "virtual office" technology to manage its operations throughout the United States and Canada.
