The Core Difference

What Each Company Actually Sells

Legal Soft sells staff

Legal Soft’s model is a marketplace and platform — browse candidates, select one, manage them through the Legal Soft dashboard. The platform handles time tracking, productivity monitoring, and billing. You manage the person and create the processes they work inside.

This works well for firms that already have functional systems and just need additional capacity. If your Clio is configured, your Lawmatics is running, and your SOPs exist — Legal Soft gives you access to a large candidate pool at competitive pricing.

XPRTS sells the system

XPRTS’s model is infrastructure-first. Before any staff member is deployed, XPRTS configures your Clio, builds your Lawmatics pipeline, writes your SOPs, and designs the role. Then a staff member trained inside Bay Legal steps into that infrastructure.

This is the right model for firms that don’t yet have functional systems — which is most of the firms we talk to. The staffing failure rate in law firms is high precisely because firms hire before building the infrastructure that makes a hire succeed.

The Question Worth Asking

Before You Choose Either One

Do your systems work?

Is your Clio fully configured? Is your Lawmatics pipeline running? Do SOPs exist for your intake, billing, and operations workflows? If no — build those first, then hire.

Is the role defined?

Can you articulate what this hire will produce, how it will be measured, and what success looks like at 90 days? If no — define the role before you place it.

What’s your actual bottleneck?

Is your problem really a staffing shortage — or is it a systems problem that more staff would only make worse? A Strategy Review answers this in 30 minutes.
