The context

Filevine wasn't built only for plaintiff firms.

Filevine is a capable enterprise platform used across many types of law firms. But being built for everyone means it wasn't optimized specifically for the workflows, deadlines, and financial structures that define plaintiff practice.

→ General-purpose design requires extensive configuration for PI workflows
→ SOL tracking requires manual setup rather than being built-in
→ Settlement and lien management not native to the platform
→ Implementation typically takes weeks with professional services
→ Pricing scales significantly with seats and add-ons
→ Enterprise features many plaintiff firms simply don't need

"We were paying for a lot of features we didn't use, and missing a few we really needed — like automatic SOL tracking and built-in settlement calculations."
