Taking the managing partner out of the daily path
Operational workflows, decision thresholds, and live financial dashboards replaced a firm where every exception waited for one person's approval.
The situation
The managing partner approved intake decisions, fee arrangements, and scheduling exceptions personally. Court days stalled the entire pipeline, and the firm's actual process had never been written down.
Where the money was going
Growth had added volume without adding capacity, because every additional matter meant additional decisions routed to one person. Work paused whenever the partner was in court, and the financial picture was assembled after the fact rather than watched in real time.
The fix
- 01Mapped every process that required the partner and what it would take for it not to.
- 02Defined decision rules and thresholds so routine approvals resolve without escalation.
- 03Automated task assignment, status changes, and internal notifications.
- 04Built live dashboards for revenue, spend, and matter throughput by practice area.
System architecture
The firm continues signing matters on days the partner is unavailable.
