Bader Law
Bader Law's caseload had outgrown its operations. In five months, Finch went from a pilot on a fraction of new matters to handling nearly all of them — with the same number of attorneys and early-case work moving in days, not weeks.
Before Finch
Bader Law is a plaintiff personal injury firm in Atlanta with a book in the thousands of matters. The problem wasn't demand and it wasn't lawyering. It was that the inventory had grown faster than the operation around it.
Cases lived in Filevine, but the milestones that tell you where a case actually stands weren't landing reliably in the system. Welcome calls slipped. Records requests went out later than anyone wanted. The demand pipeline backed up behind the work that had to happen first. Seth Bader's goal was specific: the same number of attorneys handling a higher volume of cases, with a clear enough view of the book to run the firm from his phone.
The ramp
Finch started small in late 2025, on a fraction of new matters. The idea was to prove the model on real files before touching the rest of the book.
| Month | Share of new matters run by Finch |
|---|---|
| Nov ’25 | 6% |
| Jan ’26 | 33% |
| Feb ’26 | 77% |
| Mar ’26 | 94% |
What changed
By March, Finch was handling 94% of every new matter Bader created. More than a thousand cases have run through the partnership since, across case setup, treatment, demand, and litigation support.
Early-case work moves in days instead of weeks: claims opened, letters of representation out, police reports pulled, first records request sent. Close to three times faster than the firm's prior cadence, in Seth's own assessment.
Clinical signals reach the file about two weeks sooner. First MRI mention, first surgical or injection recommendation. These are the moments that determine what a case is worth, and catching them earlier means the file moves toward demand-ready earlier.
And the data layer got rebuilt. Part of what Finch delivered wasn't speed, it was measurability. Milestones now timestamp reliably, so the firm can see its book by status, by age, and by where cases stall. You can't manage a cadence you can't see.
After working with Finch for almost a year, our team is close to 3x faster at opening claims, pulling police reports, and identifying gaps in treatment — while maintaining quality.
The wider point
Most firms that say they've adopted AI have bought a tool. A tool sits next to the work. What changes a firm's economics is when the operation itself moves faster, which takes people who know the work and software built for the people doing it.
Bader didn't add attorneys to handle more cases. The firm added an operating layer, and the attorneys got their attention back.
