Adoption of Elite’s SaaS platform continues to scale as firms seek faster billing, data-driven insights, the security of cloud, and greater operational efficiency with AI
NEW YORK (November 18, 2025): Elite, the leading enterprise SaaS platform purpose-built for the legal industry, today announced that demand for its cloud-based solutions has accelerated sharply in 2025, and it has completed the 100th go-live of a major law firm to the cloud. This reflects the scale and capability of its financial operations platform and payments system, and marks a new milestone in the legal industry’s adoption of SaaS for core management operations.
In 2025, Elite has realized:
“Elite is leading the digital transformation of the business of law—accelerating billing cycles, strengthening security and reliability, and giving lawyers time back for higher-value work through embedded AI and automation,” said Mark Dorman, Chief Executive Officer at Elite. “I’m incredibly proud of the scale and impact 3E is already delivering across the legal industry—and this is only the beginning of what firms will unlock in the cloud.”
This momentum also comes on the heels of Elite’s recent acquisition by Francisco Partners, a recognition of the company’s growth trajectory, innovation roadmap, and vision of building a true end-to-end legaltech platform.
Elite’s focus on customer experience has made the path to the cloud faster and easier than ever before. Average time-to-live for cloud conversions has dropped to just six months, with go-lives up 200% in Q3 2025 alone.
From migration planning through post-launch optimization, Elite’s Delivery and Customer Success teams are ensuring firms not only move to the cloud but realize its full value through continuous innovation and regular product releases.
“The Elite team guided us every step of the way, enabling us to go-live in under seven months,” said Julien Desmottes, Global Director, Applications Solutions Consulting, Dentons. “The transition from Elite Enterprise was seamless, and our billing and finance processes are now faster and more reliable, making our operations more efficient, intuitive, and dependable.”
“This achievement reflects our continued investment in Services—harnessing automation and technology to enhance efficiency, elevate outcomes, and strengthen every stage of the customer experience,” said Martin Linusson, Chief Customer Officer at Elite. “With the launch of our Customer Success Team earlier this year, we’re deepening partnerships with cloud customers to ensure they realize value faster and stay ahead through the continuous innovation delivered with every cloud release.”
In addition, Elite has also surged ahead on its journey of innovation to embrace the power of automation, data, and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve real customer pain points, transforming their business operations, decision-making, and financial performance.
Elite has:
“Elite is redefining what innovation looks like in legal business operations—embedding AI directly into the workflows that matter most. Our roadmap is focused on accelerating work-to-cash, increasing productivity, and giving firms the agility to act on insight in near real time,” said Elisabet Hardy, Chief Product Officer at Elite.
