Client since 2006
I've been working with Cornerstone for years now. I was suddenly asked to take on the responsibility of licenses for our company with little to no training. Cornerstone was a tremendous help to me navigating the many ins and outs of the licensing process.
Client since 2013
Cornerstone is an organization who genuinely cares about the work that they're doing. You see a big difference compared to our last vendor. The anxiety that I used to have when dealing with our previous vendor is gone because of the professionalism and responsiveness. Working with our previous licensing vendor was a nightmare. This is the first time in five years I've been able to sleep at night because of the stress. Cornerstone has been a breath of fresh air.

A repeatable method, from first filing to every renewal
Faster licenses, less effort on your side, fewer mistakes, and fewer headaches. It is the way we combine experienced specialists, intentional AI, and the Atlas platform across one sequenced process.
-
Discover
We connect you with independent attorneys to pin down which licenses you need.
-
Prepare
Your licensing specialist assembles each application; our software handles the repetitive work.
-
Review
That same specialist reviews every filing before it reaches a regulator.
-
Approve
We submit, track each application, and keep you posted until the license is granted.
-
Renew
We file every renewal ahead of its deadline in Atlas so licenses stay current.
Anyone can list five steps. Here is what makes ours hold up.
The shortcut
The common approach is to scrape the web for an answer and hope it is current. When the rules change, or the page was wrong to begin with, the mistake surfaces as a deficiency after the filing is in, when it costs the most time.
The Cornerstone Way
-
Specialists who know the answer
Decades of licensing specialists, so the answer is right rather than guessed.
-
Trusted relationships with the regulator
Direct, trusted relationships with regulators, so we ask the question instead of assuming the answer.
-
Living internal checklists
Checklists that update the moment we learn something new, so deficiencies are caught before they happen.
100% Accepted by the second submission. Most are accepted on the first submission, the rest on the second, so you start operating sooner without avoidable back and forth.
