Get Actionable Insights from Litera's Law Firm Analytics Solutions
Litera's Foundation Firm Intelligence Platform gives your firm a view of all the important data you need to make strategic decisions.
Your Data is Your Differentiator
The strategic use of data analytics can provide competitive advantage for forward thinking law firms to guide growth strategies and client development efforts, as well as reveal insights into both the business and practice of law. Yet, vast amounts of legal experience and expertise data are still waiting to be unlocked that could help firms improve the effectiveness of their organizations and better serve their clients.
Why are Law Firm Analytics and Reporting So Difficult?
For one, data is scattered among multiple siloed systems, and little information is captured about matters after initial intake. Often, important attributes like settlement amount, deal type, and close date that could be used to search and analyze experience data remain missing.
While firms might painstakingly gather characteristics in spreadsheets for one-off analysis and marketing efforts, they have no central place to store and track the data holistically over time. Data warehouses assembled for this purpose lack built-in capabilities for business-driven configuration, matter profiling workflows, user friendly search tools, or reporting.
A Single Source of Truth for Law Firm Analytics
The Foundation Firm Intelligence platform provides a wealth of knowledge ready to be harnessed by data scientists, business users, and practice leaders for strategic planning, real-time decision making, and predictive analytics.
It brings together data from your disparate systems and gives you powerful tools to enrich it with firm-defined characteristics. Define custom fields to capture data points for analysis using point and click configuration tools. Build matter type specific profiles in hours, not weeks or months — no coding or IT resources required.
Built-in data visualization provides high level insight into client health and relationships, aggregated lawyer experiences, and matter analytics. Integration with your data warehouse and favorite BI solutions open the door to sophisticated analysis and unlimited insights.
