SmartAdvocate Connect 2025 Conference Sees Record Number of Firms Attending

‍MELVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- SmartAdvocate, the award-winning legal case management software trusted by litigation firms nationwide, held its annual SmartAdvocate Connect 2025 User Conference October 13–15 at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort in Marco Island, Florida. This year's event brought together a record number of law firms, reflecting the platform's continued growth and deepening impact across the legal industry.

Building on the momentum of previous years, the 2025 conference introduced several firsts designed to enhance the learning experience for attendees. A new tiered learning format, offering breakout sessions for Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced users. Each track was designed to help attendees sharpen their skills, explore new SmartAdvocate features, and gain deeper insight into workflow optimization and automation.

"We've always focused on helping firms get the most out of SmartAdvocate," said Claude Simpson, Head of Training. "This year's multi-level sessions gave us a chance to meet users where they are — whether they're brand-new to the platform or looking to expand advanced capabilities across their entire team."

One of the most exciting updates to this year's agenda was the debut of a CLE-eligible Spotlight Session, underscoring SmartAdvocate's commitment to professional development and continuing legal education. Sara Frasca, CEO of Point NorthEast kicked off the event with an engaging talk sharing how innovation, leadership, and culture can work together to transform a firm and drive greater efficiency and strategic growth.

The conference drew exceptional support from SmartAdvocate's Integration Partners, who filled the exhibit hall with live demos and product showcases. Partners representing AI, advertising, consulting, client portal, case intake, litigation support, referrals and court reporting, helped attendees identify ways to enhance SmartAdvocate.

"Our partners are an integral part of the SmartAdvocate ecosystem," said Allison Rampolla, SVP of Sales & Marketing. "Their innovation and support help ensure that our clients have access to the most connected, flexible, and future-ready tools in the industry."

Returning favorites like Ask the Expert sessions allowed users to book one-on-one time with SmartAdvocate staff from training, support, implementation, and development for tailored advice and one-on-one guidance. A lively Welcome Reception and Event Night dinner celebration on the beach gave attendees additional opportunities to connect, collaborate, and share in the success of the Marco Island event.

New clients were also well represented this year, many attending their first SmartAdvocate Connect to explore its capabilities and community firsthand.

"Seeing new firms send multiple users to the conference speaks volumes about the platform's adoption and value," said Allison Rampolla. "SmartAdvocate Connect has become more than a conference; it's an annual gathering of innovators shaping the future of legal technology."
