Financial Matter Management
Clients continue to demand reduced costs, accurate matter budgets, non-hourly pricing, and efficient legal project management. Many law firms struggle to meet these demands, resulting in lower profitability, decreased customer experience, and inability to retain and win new business.
Inability to deliver predictable matter plans & fees
Difficulties with proactively monitoring budget to actuals in real time
Struggle to send accurate and timely reports for clients and internal stakeholders
Increasing Client Demands
Many law firms use spreadsheets for financial matter management, but as matters and requirements become more complex, spreadsheets quickly become an inefficient and unworkable solution. Law firms need solutions which rapidly deliver actionable data decreasing the burden on firm resources.
Firms need a flexible financial matter management solution for every situation
One Solution to Empower Teams to Transform Client Experience
Win More Business
To retain and win more business, firms need to be able to deliver matter plans that demonstrate an understanding of each client’s unique situation. Lawyers frequently scope matters based on their own experience, usually with a revenue-based mindset. This approach rejects data-driven decision making at the expense of firm profitability and retaining and winning more business.
- Leverage historical data to accurately develop new opportunity pricing & budgeting
- Ensure matter profitability by accounting for rate changes & discounts
- Create flexible matter plans to meet any scenario
Keep Matters on Time & Budget
