Gary Allen, Founder of LeanLaw
Our Story

Gary was fed up with the technology available to attorneys.

As a partner in one of Idaho's largest law firms with more than 25 years as a top land use and environmental attorney, Gary had a keen understanding of law firm workflows and a sense of what technology could rebuild.

LeanLaw was born of the idea that if lawyers are unshackled from the excessive overhead burden of traditional practice, they will be happier and better able to run a firm on their terms that truly serves their clients and society.

Eight+ years into this journey, Gary now has a team of talented, passionate people helping the legal profession move from a yellow pad and paper invoice industry into a lean, 21st century profession.
