We help you get the
very most out of Filevine
Your firm’s “insourced” expert team
Using technology better can give you a huge leg-up on the competition.
But why waste time trying to figure things out on your own?
With Vineskills, you leverage the best practices we've learned from working with hundreds of firms. Our team of 90+ experts provides top-tier proactive support for a fraction of a full-time hire's cost.
We understand your business processes and technology inside and out; most of our team has worked at Filevine, law firms, or both.
What makes us different from other partners?
Our approach is unique
We're not "contractors" or a ticketing system; we are responsive experts who become part of your team and have a personal relationship with your firm.
We get to know your goals and challenges intimately, take a hands-on approach to optimizing Filevine, and work with your team to ensure they're using technology to its full potential.
It’s easy to try us out
We don't lock you into long contracts; our services are month-to-month (so we've really got to earn it), and you can scale up or down as necessary. If you're unsure where to start or what you need to focus on, we offer a free Filevine evaluation.
We’re all owners here
As an employee-owned company, we pride ourselves on being proactive. Our team is engaged, thinks long-term, cares deeply about strategy, and operates like owners in small and big ways.

What it’s like working with Vineskills
Optimization plan FAQs
Our optimization plans give you a direct point of contact and a dedicated Filevine expert focused on optimizing your business processes. We’ll develop a customized work plan with frequent check-ins and fast responses. We see ourselves as an “insourced” team member who gets to know your business and your challenges and truly become part of your team.
-
Pricing can scale up or down as needed, whether your firm is looking for a fractional or full-time engagement.
We offer month-to-month contracts with no long-term obligation.
Full-time staffing is available; please reach out for details.
-
The process starts with a discovery call to explore how we can help. During our call, we will discuss goals, share screens, and often solve a problem or two. After the call, we can decide if we're a good fit to work together.
Then, we have a kick-off call with your team where we document the goals and current pain points. By the end of the call, we confirm the top priorities for the month ahead. Often we start with a general audit of Filevine in your organization. We consider ourselves part of your team and get to know your people, processes, and technology. Together we identify key areas to help move the business forward.
For example, we may spend a month focused on Lead Docket and intake, then shift to litigation, building automation, integrating a third-party application, or focus on training the team and building out training for new employees.
Once we have an Optimization plan in place, we’ll have regular check-in calls as we work through tasks according to the priorities we’ve set together.
-
This is where the magic happens. We provide continuous improvement every month based on the priorities we set together. We typically execute on one to two larger items and a handful of smaller tasks.
We involve company stakeholders along the way, so everyone has input and ownership in the results.
We believe that “Good thinking is like long division; you have to show your work."
We share updates through video screencasts for you to review when convenient. These same videos serve as a helpful set of training videos for new staff.
-
Once you pick an Optimization plan, we send a straightforward Master Services Agreement that covers all the services Vineskills provides. View our sample Services Agreement here.

We can help you get more from Filevine
It’s tough to know what it’s like to work with someone until you actually work together. So we make it easy.
We start with a hands-on Discovery Call where we review your current situation and demo ways we may be able to help. Feel free to bring an idea or challenge, share your screen, and often we can improve something for you during that free call.
