Law firms face growing demands on time, compliance, and client communication. Manual processes create unnecessary bottlenecks, which impact billing, task management, and case coordination. By shifting toward legal workflow automation, firms can simplify operations, reduce delays, and maintain consistency across teams.

Law firms depend on local legal counsel to manage jurisdiction-specific tasks, but misalignment can lead to delays, duplicated work, or missed deadlines. Breakdowns in communication, unclear responsibilities, or false assumptions between primary and local counsel can disrupt progress and create unnecessary risk for the client relationship.

Plenty of firms still rely on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, or informal knowledge-sharing to avoid conflicts of interest. The problem is, those methods miss things—past client connections, archived matters, name variations, even indirect relationships.

In many law firms, the senior partners who built the business are now approaching retirement. They’ve brought in clients, developed relationships, and set the tone for how the firm operates. But what happens when they’re ready to step away—and there’s no plan in place to carry that legacy forward?

Managing operations at a multi-practice law firm means walking a fine line between standardization and specialization. You need automatic workflows that bring consistency and visibility across the firm—but you also need the flexibility to support different timelines, billing models, and compliance requirements depending on the matter type.
