Caret ( formerly AbacusNext) Market Opportunities, M&A and Geo Expansions
In January 2025, CARET announced the release of its new public API, alongside its first turnkey integration with launch partner Lawmatics a leading CRM, client intake, and marketing automation platform for law firms. This API launch provides CARET Legal users with enhanced flexibility to build custom applications and seamlessly integrate with third-party solutions. The initial integration with Lawmatics marks a significant step in CARET’s strategy to expand interoperability and streamline law firm operations through best-in-class technology partnerships.
In June 2024, CARET divested its enterprise document automation and assembly business, HotDocs, selling it to Mitratech—a global provider of technology solutions for legal, risk, and HR teams. This strategic move allows CARET to sharpen its focus on addressing the evolving technology needs of midsize law firms, reinforcing its commitment to delivering tailored, practice-centric solutions.
