Software law firms and their clients can rely on
Kacti exists to take case work off email. We build Legal Communication: one private, secure place per case, between law firms and their clients, where the record stays in order, files end up filed on their own computers, and nothing readable ever sits with us.
The founding team
Kacti is built by a founding team that brings both sides of the work together: years inside law firms, and decades building enterprise software.
Andres Martinez
24+ years building software, 17+ of them on enterprise platforms across ERP, CRM, and financial systems. Former Microsoft architect on Dynamics 365 and enterprise AI; earlier at Capital One and Kostal Group. Second-time founder.
Hanh Huynh
Co-founder & COO
Years inside private law firms and government law enforcement as a law clerk and judicial intern, conducting legal research, analyzing case law, and drafting and organizing legal documents. She knows firsthand how case work moves between a firm and its clients, and what attorneys and their staff need from the tools they rely on.
Ricardo Perez
Founding Engineer
Self-taught engineer who learned to build alongside Andres at their previous startup. He builds much of the platform and keeps it running.
Our Purpose
A firm and its client should be able to work a case in one place that stays in order, without handing readable case content to any vendor.
Our commitments follow from that. The record belongs to the firm and the client, on their own computers, and it leaves with them if they ever go. Everything in between is private by design: our servers move only encrypted data they cannot read, and hold nothing once delivery is confirmed. And the legal judgment stays with the lawyer; the software organizes the case; it does not practice law.
Clarity Above All.
Decisions, systems, and communication should be transparent and easy to understand, from how we design software to how we work with the firms we serve.
Correctness Earns Trust.
We hold ourselves to a standard where our work must be dependable and efficient. Trust is something we earn by doing what we say, every time.
Embrace Creative Thinking.
Building what comes next requires imagination, curiosity, and the courage to challenge established assumptions. Replacing a habit as entrenched as email demands original thinking, not refinement of what already exists.
