Legalboards vs. Litify and Filevine: Visibility at High Case Volume
Litify and Filevine are built for high case volume. Legalboards adds the stage-by-stage visibility neither shows by default.
Litify and Filevine are built for firms running high case volume: personal injury, mass tort, workers' compensation, and complex litigation, often hundreds or thousands of active matters at once. Both are strong at storing case data, documents, and client communication at that scale. Neither was built to show you, across that volume, exactly which matters are moving today and which ones have gone quiet. Legalboards adds that layer. It does not replace Litify or Filevine, it makes the volume they are built for actually manageable day to day.
What Litify and Filevine do well
Both platforms are purpose-built for the practice areas they serve. Filevine is widely used by personal injury and mass tort firms handling large caseloads, with deep configuration for that kind of volume. Litify, built on Salesforce, gives larger and multi-office firms enterprise-grade case data infrastructure and reporting. If your firm runs a high-volume litigation practice, either can be a strong system of record.
Where the gap shows up at volume
The more matters you run at once, the more the coordination gap compounds. With 40 active matters, a stalled case is annoying. With 400, a stalled case is invisible unless someone happens to open it. Litify and Filevine both store the data that could show movement, but surfacing it firm-wide, in a format your whole team can glance at without digging into individual records, usually means custom configuration, a dashboard build, or a report someone has to remember to run.
Firm-wide stage visibility typically requires custom setup, not a default view
Stalled-matter detection is not automatic out of the box
Handoffs between team members still rely on notifications outside the platform in many builds
Workload visibility across large caseloads takes a report, not a glance
How Legalboards works alongside Litify or Filevine
Legalboards connects to your existing system and adds a visual board that shows every matter by stage, without a custom build. At high volume, that means your team can see stalled work the moment it happens, not the next time someone runs a report. Your case data, documents, and client records stay exactly where they are.
What each platform does
Questions about Legalboards vs. Litify and Filevine
No. Both remain your system of record for case data, documents, and client communication at scale. Legalboards adds a visual workflow layer on top that shows stage-by-stage movement across your full caseload, without requiring custom configuration.
If your dashboards already give your whole team an at-a-glance view of stalled work and ownership, you may have already solved this. Most firms we talk to have partial dashboards covering some of it, usually reporting rather than real-time stage visibility, which is the specific gap Legalboards is built to close.
Legalboards is not practice-area locked, but the visibility and stalled-work alerts matter most exactly when volume is high, which is why firms running Filevine or Litify at scale tend to feel this gap the most.
Legalboards connects to your CMS and syncs matter status, stage, and ownership. Custom integrations are available for firms with non-standard Litify or Filevine configurations. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.
