FAQ
Is Fount a Lawmatics replacement?
For firms who bought Lawmatics primarily for intake qualification and retainer conversion, yes — Fount replaces that layer and adds a marketplace lever. Firms using Lawmatics as their main marketing automation suite may keep Lawmatics for drip campaigns and overlay Fount for AI qualification.
How is the five-agent model different from Lawmatics' workflow builder?
Lawmatics gives you a canvas of steps to assemble. Fount ships five agents — Marketing, Sales, Admin, Finance, Client Service — that already share a money loop and a common source of truth. You configure agents, not workflows from scratch.
Does Fount integrate with my PMS the way Lawmatics does?
Yes. Fount is designed to overlay on Clio, MyCase, Filevine, or Lawmatics itself — pushing qualified matters, retainers, and payment events into the system your firm already uses.
What about the demand network — what does that actually mean?
Beyond software, Fount runs a marketplace where solo lawyers and small firms receive matched opportunities and can buy back bad-fit leads. That surface doesn't exist inside a traditional legal CRM.
