Case Study: SimpleLegal achieves faster, more reliable platform releases with Uvik Software

SimpleLegal boosts test coverage from <20% to 85% with Uvik Software

SimpleLegal, a leading Legal Operations management platform used by Fortune 500 legal departments, faced a scale-up crisis as their rapid growth outpaced their technical infrastructure. Their codebase, built on older Python versions, had low test coverage, making new feature releases slow and bug-prone. After a previous vendor failed to meet quality standards, they partnered with Uvik Software for a senior engineering solution.

Uvik Software provided a team of three senior Python backend engineers to refactor the core system. They increased automated test coverage from under 20% to 85% using PyTest, drastically reducing bugs and allowing the client to accelerate their release cadence from monthly to weekly. The Uvik team also mitigated security vulnerabilities in legacy dependencies and operated as a self-managed unit, requiring minimal oversight from the client's CTO.
