Is Your Firm Facing These Common Data Hurdles?

The unique characteristics of the legal profession present specific challenges.
Disjointed, Industry-Specific Software

Practice and case management systems often operate in silos, making it difficult to get a unified view of firm performance.

Manual, Time-Consuming Reporting

Fee earners and finance teams spend valuable hours manually compiling data for billing, resource allocation, and performance tracking, often with outdated or inconsistent information.

Underutilised Unstructured Data

A wealth of insight is locked away in case files, historical documents, and precedents. Firms struggle to efficiently search, analyse, and leverage this knowledge.

Pressure to Improve Margins and Efficiency

With a traditional reliance on billable hours, firms are looking for ways to improve utilisation, forecast revenue accurately, and manage aged debtors more effectively.

Optimise Firm Operations with Centralised BI

Challenge: A firm struggled with poor reporting capabilities from its various operational systems, making it difficult to track financial health and resource utilisation.

Solution: We aggregated data from their disparate systems into a single analytics platform, providing a clear, holistic view of the business.

Result: Leadership can now easily monitor KPIs, forecast revenue, and allocate resources based on real-time data, driving operational efficiency and improving margins.
Accelerate Case Work with Generative AI

Challenge: Fee earners spent excessive non-billable hours searching through vast archives of case files, precedents, and historical documents to prepare for new cases.

Solution: We implemented a generative AI solution that allows lawyers to query unstructured data using natural language, instantly surfacing relevant information, drafting contracts, and summarising complex documents.

Result: The time spent on research and document creation is significantly reduced, allowing fee earners to focus on high-value client work and improve their ability to generate reports and advice.
