About Summit Legal Technologies

Summit Legal Technologies was founded on a simple observation: the technology providers serving law firms don't understand how law firms work. They offer the same solutions they sell to accounting offices, medical practices, and retail businesses — then wonder why attorneys struggle with tools that weren't built for them.

We exist to change that.

​

Our Founder

Keith Smith brings a rare combination of experience to legal technology. With a background in IT management, legal operations, and paralegal work inside a working law firm, Keith has spent years on both sides of the divide — managing the technology and doing the legal work it's supposed to support. He is currently pursuing a doctorate in Computer Science, combining academic depth with the practical, hands-on understanding that comes from operating inside a firm every day.

That dual perspective is what makes Summit Legal Technologies different. We don't guess at what attorneys need. We've lived it.

​

The Problem We Solve

Law firms depend on technology more than ever — for client intake, case management, communication, billing, compliance, and security. But most IT providers treat law firms like any other small business. The result is generic systems, disconnected tools, reactive support, and technology that works alongside the lawyer instead of with the lawyer.

Summit Legal Technologies was built to close that gap. Through The Counsel Approach™ — our five-pillar framework of Protect, Build, Optimize, Empower, and Educate — we deliver managed IT services, custom software, workflow optimization, proprietary applications, and CLE-accredited training, all designed around the way attorneys actually practice.

We don't just keep your systems running. We make them work the way a law firm needs them to.
