A Modern Technology-Driven Law Firm Built for Today’s Businesses and Attorneys
Scale LLP is a full-service, national modern law firm founded by former tech company general counsel, using a technology-driven\model to deliver practical legal counsel and a better client experience.
Who We Are
What Makes Scale LLP a Modern, National Law Firm?
Scale LLP is a national, full-service law firm built for modern businesses. Its attorneys advise clients across corporate and securities, litigation and regulatory, intellectual property, and general counsel matters, while a distributed, technology-driven platform reduces traditional overhead and supports efficient collaboration.
How We’re Different
Senior Business Attorneys With In-House, Government, and Industry Experience
We bring a business partner mentality to the practice of law, honed from substantial industry experience. In addition to serving as in-house counsel, our attorneys have been founders and entrepreneurs, worked for the department of justice, run nonprofits, and learned their trade in the courtroom.
That practical experience affords our entire firm the ability to provide our clients with more operational, practical legal advice than what the traditional industry delivers, positioning Scale among the top modern law firms for forward-thinking companies.
What We Believe to Be True
How Scale’s Distributed, Technology-Driven Model Improves Efficiency
A firm built on technology rather than brick and mortar can reduce law firm inefficiency by more than one-third.
The best attorneys are attracted to a more efficient economic model that affords a more autonomous, lucrative practice.
The best clients are attracted to the law firms with the best attorneys.
A better law firm model for attorneys and clients inspires greater participation in the legal industry and judicial system.
Our Story & Vision
A Modern Legal Practice Model for Attorneys
Scale began as a boutique Silicon Valley law firm serving high-growth startups. But as the business grew, our founders stopped to ask themselves an important question: if you could build a national modern law firm designed for both clients and attorneys, what would it look like?
Led by Founding Partner Adam Forest, Scale pivoted to the model it employs today: one that treats attorneys as clients, too, and therefore provides attorneys with a more compelling platform to practice and clients with more responsive, experienced legal talent.
Joined by industry-veteran David Reidy as Managing Partner in 2021, Scale has grown to become a national firm, representing many hundreds of companies seeking better service from their outside counsel.
