SMB Team Ranks on the 2026 Inc 5000 List with 126% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation's Most Successful Independent Businesses Since 2022
BALA CYNWYD, Pa., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SMB Team Legal, LLC. (SMB Team) today announced it has been ranked on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America, marking the company's fifth consecutive year on the list. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy.
"This one hits differently. We've now made the Inc. 5000 every year since 2022, and this year's honor is proof that we're not just maintaining momentum, we're building on it. 126% growth in three years is a reflection of our continuous innovation to give our clients, law firms, cutting-edge solutions. And when we grow, it's because our clients are growing too. Their success is the clearest measure of ours. I'm proud of our team for continuing to raise the bar year after year, and I'm grateful to every law firm owner who bet on us." said Bill Hauser, CEO of SMB Team.
SMB Team attributes its growth to a relentless focus on innovation. Alongside its AI-powered marketing, finance, and operations solutions, the company has shipped a steady run of first-to-market, innovative products that drive growth, profit, and personal freedom for law firm owners.
Earlier this year, SMB Team was one of the first to place law firm ads for clients directly inside ChatGPT, putting firms in front of potential clients at the exact moment they turn to AI for help.The company was also quick to leverage AI Avatars, helping clients scale their online presence without spending time in a recording studio.
Most significantly, the company recently launched a new flagship product, AI Workforce Pro, a secure AI infrastructure and implementation product built specifically for law firms. Unlike consumer tools that lock users into a single AI provider, AI Workforce Pro gives firms access to the leading AI models so they can use the best one for each task. Firms can also build and own custom AI agents tailored to how their practice works, and receive the support of AI implementers who can accelerate use and adoption of AI in law firms.
"Honestly, our own ranking isn't the part I care about most. At least a dozen of the law firms on this year's list are firms we've worked with. That's the win. We're in the business of helping law firm owners grow, so when they show up on this list too, that tells me we're doing our job right," said Bill Hauser, CEO of SMB Team.
This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

"Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still," says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. "Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement."
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
