Tech4Lawyers

What Tech4Lawyers does

Tech4Lawyers is a Memphis, Tennessee-based legal-technology professional services firm founded circa 2017 by Zack Glaser, a Tennessee-licensed attorney who is also a working programmer. The company serves small to medium-sized law firms as its primary customer segment, alongside a secondary base of legal non-profits and legal educators/institutions, delivering IT consulting, custom software development, managed services, and Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programming under the tagline "Tech for the Legal Sphere."

The firm's offerings span four service categories: (1) custom programming and web application development — including a proprietary e-discovery web app that parses emails, PDFs, MS Word documents, and text messages into deposition/trial notebooks, a web-based court-appearance calendar manager for multi-attorney firms, and online payment portals; (2) infrastructure services such as geographically distributed data backup (Colorado), web hosting (Virginia and Ohio), custom-domain email hosting with spam filtering, and VPN-based remote-office enablement; (3) document automation including custom VBA macros and the Brief_T4L.dotx MS Word style theme with built-in Table of Contents generation; and (4) CLE and content marketing delivered through the Memphis and Nashville Bar Associations, a YouTube series (Tech5, TechTipTuesday), and a long-form blog.

Commercially, Tech4Lawyers runs a quote-based, founder-led engagement model with no publicly disclosed pricing, no disclosed revenue, no outside investors, and no funding events. Revenue is generated from a mix of project-based professional services (custom development, infrastructure builds, disaster recovery) and a modest recurring stream from per-user monthly email hosting. Go-to-market is community-led, relying on CLE presentations, content marketing, and direct contact-form inquiries rather than paid acquisition or channel partners; the firm is essentially a solo/small-team consultancy rather than a scaled software business.
