"It seems like lawyers are still “sticking a finger in the air” to get budgets and need help finding the right number and adhering to it. We need tools that mine the firm for analytics and can tell you things like, “how much does a motion cost?”"

"Providing matter budget tracking at regular intervals builds the client’s trust in both the work and the firm, allows the client to manage expectations, and helps minimize write offs and improve law firm profitability."

"When working with our clients, we see matters with budgets almost always outperform those without, and it would not be unheard of to expect an increase in profitability with matters that have budgets - some firms report having more than a 10% swing in recovery for budgeted matters."

"In my many years working with law firms on matter pricing and budgeting processes – I would say this is the most significant shift yet. Those firms with the matter profitability tools in place, alongside the right people initiatives, will become truly competitive and be best placed to meet client needs."
