How Top Firms Use Data to Gain a Competitive Edge

Use data & KPIs to evaluate leads, intakes, cases, employee productivity, & marketing media outlets.

There’s no getting around it: if you aren’t leveraging key data at your law firm, you don’t have full control of what is going on in your organization.

The RIGHT data can help you answer important questions like:

  • Are your cases progressing?
  • Who’s excelling and who’s not?
  • Where do you need to assign resources to address underperformance?
  • What advertising campaigns are getting you the most high-quality leads?
  • How much time are your attorneys and employees spending on certain tasks?

This data is vital to managing a law firm, and if you aren’t measuring it, you will find yourself frustrated when you try to set your firm on a path toward growth.

Fortunately, if you want to figure out how to better leverage your data, we can help.
