The Granat Group, LLC., Inc., was founded by Richard S. Granat in 1997 to develop innovative approaches to using the Internet to deliver legal services. The company was established to respond to the enormous inefficiency in the legal services sector, and the fact that there was little development of "consumer" or "client-facing" approaches to the delivery of legal services.

In January, 2000, the company entered into a strategic alliance with Epoq in the United Kingdom, to import Rapidocs into the United States, Rapidocs is Epoq's web-enabled document assembly technology. Shortly thereafter, Epoq US, launched its revolutionary My Lawyer web service (www.mylawyer.com), which enabled users to assemble complex legal documents or Adobe PDF forms using the custom built Rapidocs software, (http://www.rapidocs.com) which "interviews" users and creates complex documents tailored to their circumstances. Many other legal information web sites have been published since January. 2000. The Granat Group, LLC owns 50% of Epoq, US, Inc., the joint venture company with Epoq Holdings, plc., and is responsible for managing the entity under a long-term agreement with the Corporation.

Today, The Granat Group, through it's interest in Epoq US, Inc., publishes over 20 legal information web sites, either directly or on behalf of clients, which serve over 20,000 users a month.

In 2009, Epoq US under the guidance of The Granat Group, launched its DirectLaw virtual law firm web service that enables law firms to deliver legal services on-line. Over 140 law firms nationwide have subscribed to the service. It is the largest network of virtual law firms delivering legal services for a fixed fee on-line.
