Baker+Cadence Solutions

What Baker+Cadence Solutions does

Baker+Cadence Solutions (Baker+Cadence|Solutions, LLC) is a private legal-technology consulting and software-reseller firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hollister, California, with additional offices in Orange County, Sacramento, Portland, Western Kentucky, and Vancouver, Canada. The company serves law firms and corporate legal departments across the Western US and Canada, distributing a portfolio of best-in-class legal software — NetDocuments, Worldox, Tabs3, PracticeMaster, TimeSolv, Law Ruler, Litera, Calendar Rules, Bundledocs, CosmoLex, and Symphony Suite — and providing implementation, configuration, training, and ongoing support services. Baker+Cadence claims to have implemented Worldox at 300+ law firms over a 20+ year reseller relationship and has been in Tabs3's President's Circle (top 20 consultants globally) for 14+ consecutive years.

The business operates as a multi-vendor channel partner rather than a software developer. Its two anchor partnerships are NetDocuments (Platinum Partner status since 2022) and World Software / Worldox (20+ year certified reseller, System Integrator), supplemented by secondary reseller agreements with Software Technology (Tabs3/PracticeMaster), TimeSolv, Law Ruler, Litera, CalendarRules, Bundledocs, CosmoLex, and integration partnerships with Trumpet (Symphony OCR/AutoFiler) and nQ Zebraworks (MailQ). Revenue is generated through three streams: software licensing and recurring subscriptions (e.g., Tabs3 Cloud at $79–$89/user/month, Worldox Cloud Backup at $20–$30/month), professional services for implementation and consulting, and training delivered via on-site sessions, remote webinars, and the BCS Learning Center.

The go-to-market combines consultative direct sales led by certified consultants, event-driven marketing at legal-technology conferences (ILTACON, ABA Tech Show, BCLMA, Tabs3 Fall Forum, NetDocuments Inspire, ALA Annual), and partner co-marketing. With 1–10 employees and a 25-year operating history, Baker+Cadence is a small but established specialist reseller that navigated the October 2022 acquisition of Worldox by NetDocuments by maintaining dual-platform support and assisting clients with cross-platform migrations. Founder Bill Baker remains the principal spokesperson and primary contact; no external funding, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed.
