Case Status, a company whose product aims to improve the client experience by automating lawyer-client communications and case updates, has received venture capital funding from the Alabama Futures Fund. The amount of funding was not disclosed.
Case Status allows lawyers to provide clients with real-time visibility into the status of their matter from their mobile devices. The platform also helps lawyers grow their firms by making it easy to obtain reviews and referrals from current clients.
Founded in 2017, Case Status last year participated in the TechStars Atlanta accelerator program, backed by Cox Enterprises. According to the investors, Case Status is currently being used by 27 firms for more than 10,000 cases.
Lauren Sturdivant, cofounder and CEO of Case Status, is a former personal injury attorney who says her mission is to improve the lives of lawyers and their clients across the world.
“Throughout my years of practicing law, I witnessed the disconnect that exists between lawyers and their clients,” Sturdivant says. Lawyers are busy and fail to keep their clients up-to-date, while their clients are often going through difficult times and do not fully understand the process.
After witnessing this disconnect for years, Sturdivant says, it became her mission to develop a solution that would allow lawyers to provide an easy way to communicate quickly and more effectively.
As a woman in legal and tech, two male-dominated industries, Sturdivant tells me she is also on a mission to let women know “that they can accomplish any goal, be a strong leader, and a great mom, all while following their purpose/mission of changing the world (or an industry) for the better.”
