Virtual law firm Scale has announced its first-ever acquisition of a small Texas-based intellectual property firm, Creedon. The addition of Creedon and its team of attorneys marks a significant milestone for Scale as it continues to redefine the traditional law firm business model.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2020, Scale has emerged as one of the leading virtual law firms, leveraging cutting-edge technology to operate without physical offices. The firm’s innovative approach allows lawyers to work entirely remotely, attracting legal professionals seeking an alternative to the traditional billable-hour requirement and a greater share of fees collected from clients.

The recent acquisition sees James Creedon, the founder of Creedon, and two other attorneys from his firm join Scale’s growing team. James Creedon will take on the role of Deputy Managing Partner for Impact Initiatives at Scale, bringing with him a wealth of experience in military and community service, including his commendable efforts as a 9/11 rescue worker and New York City paramedic.

Reidy emphasized that Scale sees significant potential for further expansion through additional strategic acquisitions of firms seeking a non-traditional legal business model.

Prior to joining Scale, David Reidy served as Chief Legal Officer at fintech startup Payactiv, bringing valuable expertise to the firm’s leadership. Under his guidance, Scale has flourished, positioning itself as a frontrunner in the evolving legal services landscape.
