Education finance

A multi-state scholarship platform, modernized and built to run under the client's ownership

A scholarship organization running programs in several states needed its platform to keep pace with growing volume and each state's rules. Bunnell Hill took responsibility for the technology from requirements through stabilization, upgraded eligibility, disbursement and audit workflow, and supports the platform while the organization's team runs it day to day.

Taking the operating seat at a software company after acquisition

The company changed hands and needed operating leadership and a product rebuild at the same time. Bunnell Hill holds the senior operating seat while our engineers remediate the code, build a client intake portal that reads and extracts client documents, and add an AI assistant inside the product. Licensed professionals keep authority over every legal decision.

Consumer financial services

Platform engineering and an AI review agent for attorney-supported settlement

A regulated settlement operation needed a platform that could handle creditor workflow, consumer communication and state-by-state rules at volume. We build and run it, including reporting pipelines, API diagnostics and alerting, plus an AI review agent that checks case work against the rules before it moves forward.

Legal services

Paralegal capacity on demand for small and mid-size law firms

Small and mid-size law firms need paralegal help in bursts, not a full-time hire for every peak. We built the platform that gives them that capacity on demand, with an AI copilot for document review and quality control and an integration layer to the firm's systems. Attorneys retain authority over all legal work product.

Private investment

Buy-side diligence and negotiation, from letter of intent to close

An investor needed an operator's read on an acquisition, not just a financial review. A CFO-level partner examined the financials and diligence materials, negotiated key deal points and guided the deal through close. It closed on target terms, and the firm was retained for ongoing advisory work.

Legal technology

From concept to a seven-figure seed round and a shipped product in under a year

A pre-revenue founder had a product idea but no architecture, team structure or investor story. We helped build all three. The seed round closed, the product reached users within twelve months, and the founder remained CEO into the next stage.

What these engagements have in common

Different sectors, the same shape. Each client ran a regulated or rule-bound operation, needed senior leadership it did not have in house, and needed the systems changed as well as the strategy.

In each case a partner held a seat, the firm carried the work, and the result was built to belong to the client.
