Partnership model · For law firms

Delayed cancer diagnosis cases require a different kind of firm.

Peachward partners with one firm per state to build a focused late-diagnosis practice — using the same model that has produced more than $80M in settlements and verdicts for our flagship partner.

Established   New York & Colorado
One firm   per state
1,500+   successful cases by partner counsel

A practice area defined by what's missed.

Late cancer diagnosis is one of the most under-represented areas in medical malpractice — and one of the most consequential. By the time a patient reaches a lawyer, the window for early-stage treatment is often gone.

For the right firm, this is more than another vertical. It's a chance to build a practice that matters to clients in the worst weeks of their lives, supported by experts, infrastructure, and case acquisition systems that don't exist anywhere else.

Peachward exists to make that practice possible — without asking your team to learn it from scratch.

The model

One firm. One state. One practice that matters.

We don't sell software, leads, or seats. We partner with a single firm per state to develop the late-diagnosis practice end-to-end — case acquisition, intake, expert network, brand. You stay focused on the work.

01

A confidential conversation

We learn about your firm, your existing practice, and whether your state is open. No pitch decks — just a candid call about whether the model fits.

02

Review the partnership

We walk you through the operating model in detail: case sources, intake protocols, expert relationships, marketing infrastructure, and the financial structure of the partnership.

03

Launch in your state

We build out your late-diagnosis practice on a defined timeline, with the systems and support that took our flagship partner years to develop — handed to you ready to run.

Why peach

Before pink, there was peach.

Charlotte Haley was a housewife and community volunteer. In the early 1990s, frustrated by how little funding cancer research was receiving, she sat at her kitchen table and folded a simple ribbon to pin onto a piece of card stock.

"Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon."
— Charlotte Haley, the original cancer ribbon

The ribbon was peach. Her favorite color. Before pink became synonymous with the cause, peach was the original — quieter, less commercial, rooted in a single person who decided to do something.

We named our firm after that ribbon. Because the families who walk into our partner firms aren't looking for a brand. They're looking for someone who remembers what this is actually for.
