Founded by Engineers. Focused on Legal
Catapult is an engineer-founded, engineer-run software company. Since 2018, we’ve architected, built, and supported complex systems for organizations operating at serious scale. We created Core to bring that same engineering discipline to the everyday work of small law firms.
Years of Solving Hard Software Problems Led Us Here
Catapult was founded in 2018 as an engineering company built around a simple idea: difficult software problems deserve experienced, thoughtful people. Not layers of handoffs and unnecessary complexity. Since then, we have designed, built, modernized, and supported systems used in demanding real-world environments.
That work has included platforms connected to businesses generating hundreds-of-millions of dollars in revenue. At that scale, software cannot simply look good in a demo. It has to integrate with existing systems, handle changing requirements, remain supportable over time, and continue scaling when the stakes are real.
Core is the next chapter for Catapult. We are applying what we have learned as engineers to a focused SaaS product for small law firms. Helping attorneys turn case documents and matter information into structured, usable legal work without losing the sources, review, and judgment that make the work trustworthy.
The Philosophy Behind Catapult
Built for complexity. Supported for the long haul.
Catapult engineers have spent years working on software that sits deep inside real businesses. Not disposable experiments, but systems tied to critical operations, customer experiences, and organizations generating massive revenue.
That kind of work requires more than writing code. It means understanding complicated requirements, connecting new technology to existing systems, designing for scale, and making careful decisions that continue to make sense years later. It also means remaining accountable after launch, when software meets real users, real data, and real operational pressure.
That engineering discipline shapes Core. We are building a product that can grow with a firm, preserve important matter context, and support meaningful legal work over time. New AI capabilities matter, but only when they are part of a product attorneys can understand, review, and rely on.
Why Core Was Built
Built from Exposure to Real Stakes
After years of building software for other organizations, we kept seeing the same pattern: the hardest problems were rarely caused by a lack of information. They came from information being scattered across systems, documents, notes, and people. Making it difficult to understand what was known, what was missing, and what needed attention next.
Core was created to make that work easier. It helps small law firms turn matter information into structured knowledge, identify important facts and discrepancies, and apply what they know through practical workflows like discovery intake, matter-aware assistance, and legal forms.
AI makes this possible, but it does not remove the need for judgment. Core keeps important work connected to its sources, separates proposed findings from confirmed information, and gives attorneys the final say.
