THE SYSTEM THAT DOES ALL THE WORK FOR YOU

Who We Are

MetaJure was founded by lawyers with the specific intent of creating technology tools that improve the quality, productivity and efficiency of lawyers and law firms. Grounded in the challenges of eDiscovery and finding “needles in the haystack”, MetaJure’s founders have been at the forefront of legal technology for over 20 years.

Our mission is to enable lawyers and their staff to spend their days focused on the high value tasks they were trained to undertake and not waste their days looking for or recreating pre-existing knowledge and documents. Saving time and effort lowers client fees, improves turnaround times, enables a host of possible new fee arrangements, and lets lawyers focus on the high value tasks they were trained to undertake.

MetaJure is a proven technology built on the premise that the volume of law firm information will continue to grow exponentially while the time available to manage, organize and sort through it is shrinking. Our team is committed to innovate along this vision and to enable easy-to-use and easy-to-deploy solutions that are cost effective in any organization.
