Firm Intelligence for UK and US law firms
Practical tools from authorised firm information, with evidence and context so you can check the results.
We work with the innovation, knowledge and BD leads at UK and US law firms. We won't take a brief we can't bound. Legal-tech companies also work with us on architecture and implementation.
Why SureScale
- UK and US law firms first, legal-tech vendors too.
Founded Ruby Datum in 2016, a VDR used by global firms for M&A, litigation, and diligence, now shipping checkable legal-tech craft. Products are proof of that craft.
Private by Default
Client and matter data stay inside a perimeter you control. Prefer on-machine or permissioned deployment, NDA-first, DPA-ready. We design around privilege and the tools lawyers already use (Word, the DMS, Outlook) so the work can live in the matter file.
What we ship
Sure Scale is a product and R&D company. The products show how we work, and each carries an honest status label.
