Make Your Collective Intelligence the Foundation of Your Firm

Foundation provides the essential knowledge and tools for marketing and business development to compete more effectively and expand existing client relationships.

Moving beyond traditional Experience Management, Foundation’s Firm Intelligence platform gives you easy access to all required matter, people, client, and party data—the means to passively collect it from core internal and external systems—and built-in processes to ensure it’s always complete, accurate, and up-to-date.

Powerful integrated tools make it easy to find, package, and share firm intelligence for business development needs like strategic planning, supporting lawyers, improving client development, and inclusion in your website, proposals, submissions, and more.

Get the Information Needed to Do Your Job

Searching across any single entity is possible with most systems and is easy to do in Foundation. But, what’s truly transformative is having all the searchable, current, accurate data you need in a firm-wide platform.

Only Foundation gives you the ability to search and report on your information from every angle—starting with the matter, the client, the timekeeper, or related parties—then pivot to look at the data a different way. Or, create a sophisticated search including criteria across multiple entities with just a few clicks.

It's Never Been So Easy to Find What You're Looking For

Use simple keyword searching and type-ahead suggested criteria to find what you need. Further narrow search results using intuitive, built-in filters.

Curate and Manage Biographies

Practical Business and Client Insights to Grow Your Business

Improve Cross Selling

Discover opportunities to cross sell services using white space reports, client health analytics, and comparative analysis. Identify the most engaged lawyers for additional intel and strategy conversations.

Better Manage Boilerplate Content

Use the built-in library to manage boilerplate content such as accolades, firm overviews, industry highlights, practice descriptions, commitment to diversity, security standards, and other standardized copy and images to include in proposals and client briefing books.

Synchronize with Your Website

Bi-directional integration with your website CMS simplifies maintenance and keeps information accurate and consistent across platforms. For example, you can display Foundation profiled narratives on your website, include approved copy from your CMS in your content library, and manage your biographies in the system of your choice.

Easily create and share online reports that partners and leadership can run on demand to monitor day-to-day activity, improve decision making, and inform strategic planning. Export report results to Excel, PowerPoint, and/or Word to provide insights to partners and other firm stakeholders outside of Foundation.

Foundation lets you easily capture lateral experiences and expertise when they join the firm. Include their accumulated knowledge in search results to more easily integrate laterals in networking opportunities and new pitches and proposals.
