What Customers Say About Law Firm Solutions
-
Working with Anaqua feels like a partnership. They listen and really understand IP, which is critical. Many other vendors in the industry don’t have the same level of IP expertise.
Kevin Malesic
Intellectual Property Manager, DLA Piper -
We needed a system that was easy to use. Something that worked like your iPhone—drag and drop, one-click functionality. […] Anaqua delivered exactly that.
Mikkel Lassen Ellingsene
Associate Partner at CMS Kluge -
Law firm IP practices are very report-driven and need to be able to tailor their reports to individual client requirements. Utilizing Anaqua has made this much simpler and quicker for us.
At the end of the day, it comes down to three factors: cost, speed and quality; and, thanks to Anaqua, we have been able to deliver on all counts.

FAQ & Support
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Anaqua help law firms grow revenue?
Anaqua helps law firms grow revenue by making the value of their work clearer, more consistent, and easier for clients to see. Through client-ready reporting, portfolio insights, and predictable delivery, firms can better support pitches, renewals, and cross-selling conversations. Anaqua also supports added-value services, acting as an extension of your teams (patent annuities, trademark renewals, paralegal services, etc.). This enables law firms to expand their offerings -but not their headcount- while strictly controlling costs.
How does Anaqua help law firms improve efficiency?
Anaqua leverages AI and automation to help IP law firms improve efficiency by reducing manual work, fragmentation, and rework across IP matters. By connecting workflows, deadlines, documents, and reporting in one environment, teams spend less time chasing information and more time delivering high-value legal work.
Efficiency gains also support broader business goals. More predictable delivery helps firms control costs under fee pressure, scale without adding headcount, and respond faster to client needs.
How does Anaqua help firms protect margins under AFAs and fee pressure?
Anaqua improves margin control by reducing manual effort, rework, and operational friction across IP matters. More predictable workflows, clearer visibility into work status, and fewer hand-offs help firms deliver consistently within fixed fee and alternative fee arrangements.
How does Anaqua support safe and practical AI adoption?
Anaqua applies AI where it adds real value in IP workflows—while keeping professionals firmly in control. Built-in governance, explainability, and accuracy are designed for legal work, helping firms reduce routine tasks without introducing unacceptable risk.
Can Anaqua manage more than patents and trademarks?
Yes. Anaqua supports a wide range of IP portfolios and matter types—including patents, trademarks, domains, and more related IP work—in one connected environment. This reduces fragmentation, improves deadline confidence, and simplifies reporting as practices grow.
How does Anaqua help law firms work more effectively with clients and agents?
Anaqua improves collaboration by giving clients and agents clearer visibility into IP work—without creating extra administrative burden for firms. Shared access to status, reporting, and secure information reduces duplication, follow-ups, and misunderstandings.
How does Anaqua help firms protect clients’ brands online?
Anaqua helps law firms detect, prioritize, and act on online brand threats more quickly, while providing clear reporting on actions taken and risk reduced. This enables firms to deliver high-value, proactive brand protection services that clients can easily understand.
Where should I start if I want to explore these solutions in more detail?
You can explore each capability area above, starting with the challenge most relevant to your firm—AI adoption, portfolio scale, client collaboration, growth under fee pressure, or online brand protection—or speak directly with an Anaqua expert to discuss your practice goals.
