Intake Intelligence™

BI for New Business and Lateral Acceptance

Unlock Risk Performance Insights:

Efficiency, Timing & Trends

Over the past decade, law firm new business intake, conflicts clearance, and client compliance capabilities have evolved significantly. As firms have adopted modern software, expanded use of specialized resources, and re-aligned staffing models, they’ve seen tremendous improvements in turnaround time and efficiency when conducting client due diligence, opening new matters, and on-boarding lateral hires.

However, as organizations look to achieve even greater risk team productivity and deeper understanding of operational execution, many face challenges extracting necessary application data and building effective reporting. Whether due to the inability to access cloud software at the database layer, or struggles to secure internal technical resources skilled at BI and analytics projects, the net result is the same — firms are unable to achieve truly informative and actionable insight.

From Intake Intelligence to Matter Intelligence

A centralized repository of unique, detailed matter opening and profile data, unlocks even greater value for firms — well beyond operational efficiency.

It also enables new levels of reporting on activity of heightened interest to firm management.
