What We Do

Nextpoint is a Chicago-based legal technology company that has been building cloud-based eDiscovery and litigation software since 2001. We make it simpler for law firms, corporate legal teams, and government agencies to manage the full lifecycle of litigation — from data ingestion and document review to case preparation and trial presentation. Our platform is built on the cloud, which means legal teams can access it from anywhere, process large volumes of data quickly, and scale storage without the overhead of traditional infrastructure. Built-in AI tools help reviewers surface relevant documents faster, while advanced search, analytics, and granular access controls give teams the precision they need on complex matters. We serve clients across the spectrum — from small and solo firms to AmLaw 100 firms and federal agencies — all on a predictable, per-user pricing model. Our dedicated client success team works alongside customers as a true extension of their practice, not just a support ticket queue. What sets us apart isn't just the software. It's the combination of powerful technology, expert services, and a team that genuinely understands how legal work gets done. We've stayed independent and self-funded since day one, which means our roadmap is driven by our clients, not outside investors. We're about 80 people strong, headquartered in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, and we're growing. If you're interested in building tools that shape how the legal industry operates — and doing it alongside a team that moves quickly and takes the work seriously — we'd love to meet you.

Why Work With Us

Nextpoint has been independent and self-funded since 2001 — which means we build for our customers, not for investors. That autonomy shapes everything from how we prioritize our roadmap to how we treat our people. We sit at an interesting intersection: legal technology is a serious, complex industry, but we're still a team of about 80 people where
