LawPay began in 2005 as an IOLTA-compliant card processor serving law firms under the AffiniPay corporate umbrella. Over two decades it became the ABA-endorsed default legal payments product used by 100,000+ attorneys across all 50 state bars. In 2024 AffiniPay consolidated its multi-brand portfolio (LawPay, MyCase, CasePeer, DocketWise, ClientPay, CPACharge) under a new parent brand '8am,' pushing beyond payments into embedded lending (8am Capital), corporate cards (8am Smart Spend / 8am Visa Business Card via Emprise Bank), spend management, and AI (Claude MCP connector in MyCase) — evolving from a legal PSP into a vertical financial OS for the professional services segment.
