An 8am CasePeer alternative with AI discovery and your own Microsoft 365
8am CasePeer (formerly CASEpeer) is the incumbent purpose-built PI case manager. CaseLumen is built for the same plaintiff lifecycle — intake, SOL, liens, settlements, IOLTA — with two differences firms feel immediately: AI that drafts written discovery from defense PDFs, and documents that stay in your Microsoft 365 tenant.

When CaseLumen is the better fit
- You want PI-native intake, SOL, liens, and settlement waterfalls without generic “matters”

- You want transparent per-seat pricing, a 60-day trial, and no credit card to start
When 8am CasePeer may still be right
- You already run a heavily customized CasePeer workspace and have no switching pain
- You need CasePeer’s payments stack (LawPay) as a bundled requirement
- You need a client-facing portal or mobile app on day one
