Built Before Legal Tech Was a Category.
Still Leading It.
BEC Legal Systems has been serving law firms since long before "legaltech" became an industry. We're still here - and still innovating - because we've spent decades earning trust the only way that counts: by building software that works, and standing behind it.

Joining a Global Software Leader
Greater resources. The same independence. As part of Jonas Software within Constellation Software Inc., BEC accelerates product investment and broadens its innovation capacity.
The CoreRelate Framework
A modular suite built around how law firms actually work. MatterLink, Docket Enterprise, LegalBar and Assemble-It - four products, one integrated framework, trusted by hundreds of firms every day.
Building Our Own Software
From reselling technology to defining it. As a Certified Microsoft Partner, we begin developing purpose-built legal software that enhances the tools firms already depend on with the functionality they actually need.
Becoming a Regional Technology Leader
From one city to the Midwest - and into the product business. Across multiple cities, BEC extends its reach as a legal IT provider. In 1997, deep expertise in interface customization sparks the creation of LegalBar - our first proprietary software product.
Adapting to What's Next
Word processing enters the market. We become the experts law firms call. In 1987, we formally become BEC Legal Systems, expanding into PC networks, document management, and digital dictation.
Roots in the Legal Community
The relationships that still define us, started here. Serving professional markets in Cincinnati, we build deep expertise - and a reputation for showing up for law firms that never left us.
Founded in Cincinnati
A principle from day one that still holds. Business Equipment Company opens its doors as a vendor of typewriters and adding machines, guided by a founder's philosophy: conduct your business with sincerity and honesty.
STABILITY
Backed by Constellation Software
In legal tech, solutions come and go. We have the infrastructure - and the mandate - to stay. As part of Jonas portfolio within Constellation Software Inc., BEC operates with the resources of a global platform and the independence of a specialist.
That means continued investment in our products, long-term commitment to our clients, and no exit strategy.
