In this practical session we will explore how law firms are moving from reactive resourcing to strategic, tech-enabled planning, and seeing real business outcomes as a result.

We’ll explore:

• 84% of Firms Struggle with Manual Task Delegation
  The reliance on verbal requests, static spreadsheets, or blanket emails to allocate work makes it difficult to track who is doing what, leading to imbalanced workloads, work being done at the wrong level, and missed development opportunities
  → BigHand enables real-time visibility of firm-wide workloads and skillsets to ensure lawyers are more equally utilized and work is being done by the right resource, at the right cost.
  
  
• Only 22% of Firms Use a Structured, Tech-Supported Approach to Resourcing
  Most firms still take an inconsistent, reactive approach to resourcing which often results in the same people being overburdened while others lack access to meaningful work, contributing to high levels of burnout, over- and under-utilization, and ultimately, increased attrition.
  → BigHand enables lawyers to flag their skills, experience, and aspirations, and voice interest in areas they want to work on, so they can develop skills, enhance their careers and gain equal access to career-enhancing opportunities.
  
  
• Lawyers Spend 3–4 Hours/Week on Internal Admin
  That’s up to 200 hours per lawyer per year, time that could be billable.
  → BigHand gives partners a quicker and easier way to resource their matters, freeing up their time for billable work, business development, and client engagement.
