Case Management · Platform Profile
Jove — the January 2026 rebrand of GrowPath — is intake and case management built inside the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, with patented lead scoring and a new hub-and-spoke platform architecture.
Jove is the platform formerly known as GrowPath, rebranded on January 21, 2026 — growpath.com now redirects to jovelegal.com. Its origin shapes the product: the software was built inside the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, one of the country's prominent plaintiffs' firms, for its own intake and case operations, then spun out as a standalone SaaS company in 2017, based in Durham, North Carolina. James Farrin remains listed as advisor and investor, and the company describes itself as built by personal injury firm leadership rather than investor-backed.
The platform combines client intake, case management, document and evidence management, and business analytics for contingency-fee firms. Its intake tooling includes patented lead scoring designed to identify high-value cases at first contact — the company's first patent was granted in 2019, and it has claimed eighteen. Marketing and referral-source tracking plus fee and revenue projections round out an analytics posture aimed at firms that treat intake as a managed funnel.
The rebrand carried a philosophy change: away from all-in-one, toward a 'hub-and-spoke' architecture intended to let firms plug in third-party tools — including AI vendors — of their choice. The relaunch, which debuted at the National Trial Lawyers Summit in January 2026, included a promotional free first year; standing pricing is quote-based.
Plaintiff-side personal injury and contingency-fee firms, from growth-stage to large multi-office practices — particularly firms that run intake and marketing analytics as a discipline. It is not a general-practice tool and does not try to be.

Jove's hub-and-spoke turn is a bet against the consolidation strategy of Filevine and Litify: instead of one vendor absorbing every function, the system of record stays lean and firms choose their own AI and point tools around it. For firms wary of platform lock-in — or already committed to specific AI vendors — that architecture is the differentiator to evaluate.
Its lead-scoring pedigree matters in the same way GrowPath's origin did: the tooling encodes how a high-volume plaintiff firm actually triages inquiries, which is a different starting point than software generalized from a thousand practice areas. Firms evaluating it are effectively evaluating that operating philosophy.
