FAQ
How is Fount different from Lawmatics?
Lawmatics is a broad legal CRM and marketing automation suite. Fount is narrower on purpose: attorney-reviewed AI qualification, consult prep, and retainer conversion — with a marketplace lever Lawmatics doesn't have.
How is Fount different from Clio Grow?
Clio Grow is Clio's front-of-firm intake tied to Clio Manage. Fount is PMS-agnostic (Clio, MyCase, Filevine, Lawmatics) and adds AI qualification and a demand marketplace.
Do I need to migrate off my current stack?
No. Fount is designed to overlay on your existing PMS/CRM. Most firms run Fount as the intake and conversion layer while keeping Clio or Lawmatics for matter work.
