Make law firm recruitment easy
Recruitment at law firms is nuanced and sophisticated, from lateral associate and partner recruitment to recruiting from schools. Our software makes it easy, integrating with your website for a seamless experience for your recruitment professionals and your applicants. Manage search firms and save money on fees. Schedule high-volume interview processes and automate applicant correspondence. Use our sophisticated reporting to guide your hiring strategy and ensure you meet diversity targets while finding top legal talent.
Never let a new hire fall through the cracks
Fully integrating new lawyers can take six months for an associate and up to two years for a lateral partner. Ensure that key client and firm relationships are fostered by giving every employee a timeline of activities and introductions tailored to their role, whether remote or in the office. No new hire will get left behind thanks to our visual dashboard and red alert system. Collect real-time feedback from both sides — the new hires and your integration team — to make sure they are fitting in culturally and to proactively improve the process.
Anticipate availability and distribute work evenly
Have lawyers submit their office days, scheduled absences, and available time, and then analyze an entire department or law firm's availability in one place. See how busy each practice group is with color-coded dashboards. Ensure every person has equal opportunity to reach billable hours and is on target to do so. Whether your firm is remote or in the office, avoid productivity loss and burnout by equitably distributing work and keeping your employees satisfied.
Give every lawyer the right workload and work assignments
Effectively distribute work so that each associate is billing at capacity and getting the opportunity to grow and develop. Our resource allocation system tracks individual availability, demographics, skills, and interests. It can also fully integrate with your accounting system to import matters and projects. Find the right associate for every project and make sure workloads are balanced across practice groups and offices. Automate early career programs and manage paralegal or support staff workloads.
Effectively conduct any review process
Lawyer evaluations can be complex — an associate does a self-assessment, multiple partners evaluate their work on matters, and then their practice group leader may give an overall consensus evaluation. Our software simplifies this process and supports matter-based, many-to-many performance appraisals. Identify your firm's top performers in each practice group. Get your associates to indicate the work they’ve done on matters so that evaluating partners can easily provide comprehensive feedback, saving them hours of time completing reviews.
Evaluate lawyers on matters in real time
Modern employees need constant feedback, and it's no different in the legal profession. Providing feedback to associates as they work on matters throughout the year will improve their engagement and help retain them. Set up a real-time feedback system that meets your needs and integrates with your annual performance reviews for continuous performance management. Give your associates opportunities to course-correct and improve on specific matters when they request or receive feedback from evaluators. Ensure employee performance is supporting your firm's overall strategy.
Help lawyers learn and stay accredited at the same time
A firm-wide learning management system for all legal education needs. Our system handles classroom courses, e-learning, learning resources, and videos. It also integrates with legal-specific providers such as PLI. Make sure all lawyers stay accredited with a full and up-to-date CLE (Continuing Legal Education) and CPD (Continual Professional Development) credit tracking system. Each employee can see their learning path, required courses, and outstanding credits in one homepage. Class registration is easy to use and can integrate with your calendar system.
Develop well-rounded lawyers in each practice group
Establish a clear set of progressive skills and benchmarks that allow lawyers to track their career growth as they gain experience. We offer a best practice list of skill checklists for most practice groups that you can modify, including Corporate, Tax, Real Estate, Litigation, and more. Use skill tracking to keep work from becoming stagnant and to staff each matter effectively, assigning people based on complementary skills and what they need to improve. Manage and track progress with custom training and development plans. Ensure your law firm has the skills it needs for its business development strategy.
