“Can a legal practice management platform become the complete financial OS for law firms by embedding payments, client financing, business credit cards, and lending?”
MyCase started in 2010 as pure legal practice management software and was owned successively by AppFolio (2012), Apax Partners (2020), and AffiniPay/LawPay (2022). The 2022 AffiniPay acquisition was the strategic pivot: MyCase became the case-management surface for a payments company, deeply integrating LawPay for card/eCheck acceptance, Affirm for client fee financing, and eventually 8am Capital lending and an 8am Visa Business Card. The 2025 rebrand to '8am' repositioned the combined entity as a legal-professional financial OS rather than a point solution.
