SBW Law, the Liverpool-based law firm and Alternative Business Structure, is now development partner for LegalDocs Assist on the housing disrepair module. The firm has used housing disrepair since June 2026.
What does development partner actually mean here?
It means SBW Law’s fee earners feed directly into what gets built, not into a roadmap document. Under the partnership, changes the firm asks for reach the live product, and SBW gets early sight of those changes before general release, across a twelve month term.
Why does this matter to CaseFlow Automation?
“You cannot build drafting tools for claimant work from the outside. SBW Law have been in it with us from the start, and the module is a materially better product for it. That is worth more than any amount of market research.”
Chris Latham, Co-founder, CaseFlow Automation
“The hard part of volume claimant work is not the difficult case. It is getting the same standard out of the two hundred ordinary ones. That is exactly what a firm like SBW tests. They have been putting real files through this every week since June, and the things they have flagged are the things you would never find in a demo.”
Craig Budsworth, Co-founder, CaseFlow Automation
What’s next for the partnership?
The two firms continue to work together on the housing disrepair module through the twelve month term, with SBW Law getting early sight of changes before general release.
CaseFlow Automation has published the companion piece on the partnership from the product family side.
