Leveling up a legal-tech platform with an augmented team

Client

Growpath is legal case management software for lawyers, created by lawyers.

Engagement overview

Growpath partnered with Rootstrap to strengthen and expand its engineering capabilities through a staff augmentation model. The team spanned product management, design, infrastructure, support, and engineering leadership.

What we delivered

Rootstrap's engagement began with a comprehensive code audit that laid the groundwork for process improvements, delivery stability, and platform evolution. Our team supported end-to-end efforts across engineering and infrastructure, introducing structured sprint cadences, improving CI/CD workflows, optimizing Kubernetes resources, documenting and refining cloud infrastructure on GCP, and managing complex data migrations and system maintenance.

Key initiative: Archway

A flagship project of the partnership is Archway, the integration of a separate legal software platform into Growpath's core product. Rootstrap led planning, estimation, design alignment, and is currently driving development.

Results & impact

Though the partnership is ongoing, Growpath consistently praises Rootstrap for our initiative, adaptability, and ability to bring stability and velocity to a high-complexity environment.

Why it matters

This is a strong example of Rootstrap's ability to embed with a client's existing team, stabilize delivery and infrastructure, and drive long-term strategic value through thoughtful collaboration and execution.
