Case Studies - Law Firms of the Future Low Financial Profitability

Driving Financial Performance with Data Analytics

Challenge:

Partner believes that low financial profitability is due to low level of quality intakes.

Engagement:

We conduct a top-down, metric driven law firm assessment. We examine key metrics throughout the client lifecycle to determine root-cause of low financial profitability.

Law Firm Optimization:

We determine that the pipeline is sufficient to generate industry average profitability. We identify abnormally long durations of open cases due to siloed case management and a lack of cross-fertilization. We also identify internal roadblocks driving slower case progress and recommend allocating new caseload based on attorney ability to compress current internal backlog, resulting in shorter lifecycle durations.
