Founded by an attorney and a product manager at scaling unicorns.
Built by people who've seen what scaling companies actually need from counsel — and built the firm we wished we'd had.
Meet the team →Outgrow your first market without outgrowing your first lawyer.
Attorneys licensed in the markets you operate in — staffed on the same matter, in the same Slack channel, under the same Roadmap brand.
Where local rules require it, we route into vetted local firms operating under the Roadmap brand. Same playbook, same standards, invisible handoff.
Roadmap runs on a small, deliberate stack — so the work shows up where you already work, billed how you already pay.
Built with builders. Lightweight stack.
Ava is our Slack-native legal agent: she lives in your channel, drafts in real time, recalls every prior matter — and is supervised by a licensed attorney on every output that touches your file. Powered by Perplexity.
