Filevine firms, many of them plaintiff personal injury and mass tort practices, run high-volume case work through one screen per project. Intake answers land in fields, medical record requests go out as tasks, adjusters reply to an email address that files straight into the project, and the Activity Feed keeps the whole sequence in date order. Ten years of that is a detailed written history of how a firm moves a claim from intake to settlement.
Data buyers want exactly that kind of multi-step record. micro1 asks for task histories and workflows employees repeat, Mercor names legal among the industries it buys from, and Clova Data names Filevine in its Meta ads to law firms.
Filevine is also the most engineered of the legal tools on the export side: two official pipelines, report size limits, a planned retirement of one of them, and specific lines in its subscription agreement, security addendum and API license on extraction and on data after termination. This page sets those out as Filevine publishes them, and lists what to agree with a buyer before anything is connected.
Worth
What a firm's data may be worth
Pre-set for a typical firm: 50 staff and 10 years of records. No buyer publishes pricing by industry, so industry does not move the band. Our estimate, not a buyer quote.
Buyers
Which buyers want this data
Each reason is the buyer's own published statement about the tools, data or industries it takes, matched to how Filevine law firms work.

Buyer demand
How buyers' own tools rate Filevine law firms
No buyer publishes a price list by industry. These are settings inside buyers' and brokers' own estimators and intake forms, read from their public pages on 2026-10-14. They show how each company sorts industries, not what any firm was paid. The category shown is the one a firm would most likely pick; that match is ours.
| Company | Its category | How it rates the industry |
|---|---|---|
| Troveo | Legal | Tier 2 of 4: "Your industry carries above-average buyer demand." Price factor 1.15 in its estimator.27 |
| Polyshares | Legal | Marked premium in its intake list28 |
| VMS | Law | Higher weight in its estimator (factor 1.30)29 |
| Ventra | Legal, healthcare, financial services or accounting | Says it cannot take these industries right now30 |

What buyers value
What in a firm's records buyers value
The column on the right is not legal advice: it lists what to raise with the buyer before anything is exported.
| Data | Where it lives | Why a buyer values it | Raise with the buyer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Project Activity Feeds | Filevine Activity Feed | Every note, email, task, text and reminder on a matter in date order, the closest thing to a recording of how a case was worked. | Injury and medical details in the notes. |
| Mailroom and project email | Filevine email auto-CC and the org mailroom | Adjuster, provider and client correspondence already attached to the right project. | Insurance adjusters and medical providers named in the threads. |
| Intake form answers | Filevine Client Portal forms and intake fields | Structured facts a client supplied at the start, which a model can compare with how the case ended. | Health information typed into intake fields. |
| Task chains for each case type | Filevine tasks and project sections | The firm's repeatable path, from records requests to demand to settlement, written as assignable steps. | Nothing specific |
| Client portal conversations | Client Portal by Filevine | Status updates and explanations written for clients who are not lawyers. | Nothing specific |
| Report-ready case fields | Filevine Report Builder and Data Connector CSVs | Dates, stages and outcomes that turn free-text notes into labelled examples. | Settlement amounts and fee fields in the reports. |
A week of records
A week of data at a firm
- A new client finishes a portal intake form overnight; the answers populate the project fields before anyone opens the file.
- Case managers send records requests as tasks and log each provider call as a note in the Activity Feed.
- An adjuster's reply is copied to the project email address and lands next to the demand it answers.
- A text from the client asking about a check shows up in the same feed as the attorney's note on lien negotiations.
- On Friday the Data Connector report with the week's stage changes is scheduled to land in the firm's cloud storage.
Process
How it works with each buyer

Selling or closing
Selling or closing your firm? License its data first
Filevine's Security Addendum gives a firm 20 days after termination to say in writing whether its Data should be returned or destroyed, and Filevine need not keep it beyond 30 days. A firm that is merging or closing should finish any licensing export, through Data Connector or DataBridge, before that clock starts.3
FAQ
Filevine data: questions, answered
Filevine names two tools. Data Connector schedules CSV reports from the Report Builder to AWS S3 or Azure storage, and is set up through a Filevine representative. DataBridge shares cases, clients, notes, documents and more to a customer-owned Snowflake account, for firms with data engineering capability.2
The agreement, last updated 2026-08-12, says in section 4 that as between the parties the subscriber owns all right, title and interest in its Data, including Output generated from that Data. We quote it and do not interpret it.45
Yes. The API License Agreement, dated 2024-11-26, lists among use restrictions moving data accessed through the API solely to circumvent contractual obligations, reduce costs or avoid Filevine services. We found no clause in it naming AI or machine learning.47
Clova Data names Filevine in its law firm ads and asks for 30+ staff. micro1 and Mercor list legal among their industries, and the brokers Endless and Pewter list law firms, none naming software. Polyshares says it excludes data held on behalf of clients, so ask early how any buyer reads a claims file.48,6,12,20,39,38,15
Nobody publishes a Filevine price. Published ranges mostly run $100K to $2M, as the buyers' own claims: micro1 states $100K-$2M+ per data package, Cognor Labs and Ventra $100K-$2M, and monsterdata.ai $50K-$1M for a one-time sale. Linked outcomes, which Filevine reports capture well, are the feature buyers describe valuing.8,49,50,51
