Capacity

It was our pleasure to speak again at this year’s SKILLS.law summit alongside CMS’s Christy Farrer and change management expert Joshua Fireman. You can watch our six-minute conversation, hosted by William, our Co-founder, below. We explored how resource management can act as a springboard for pursuing a variety of strategic objectives. Joshua and Christy also offered a really insightful take on what, exactly, it takes to manage change across the entire hierarchy of an international law firm. From Christy: “You are asking people to change their behaviour. But I do think that, if you can get this going and we can get some of those behaviour changes that we're seeking, that is just going to make such a fundamental difference to the way we operate and the way we collaborate.” (https://lnkd.in/etbGyaXS)

🚨 You’re a resource manager and it’s 4pm on a Friday. Suddenly, a partner wants a whole matter staffed ASAP. You think back to what that would have meant, before Capacity. 💭 Scrabbling like a person possessed for the matter details, the partners on the matter, who they tend to work with, who they don’t; then calling up the spreadsheets, running the numbers, ordering and reordering the utilisation and availability reports – sweat by now having short-circuited not one but two laptops – now switching over to your preferences database (didn’t Jenny say she’s had enough of M&A? Or was that Jerry?) stress ball wheezing in your hand; associates closing laptops around you, heading for the door – ”Have a nice weekend, won’t you?” – cruel, cruel worl- ☕ Then you decide that’s enough of that, fire up Capacity, staff eight people onto the matter from a single screen, and pop off to make a decaf coffee. 🚰 Save thousands on hardware water damage – get Capacity.

Law firm work allocation methods, ranked worst to best: 🤝 Ranked handshake firmness (because nothing says ‘you’ll do great on this matter’ like a near-broken hand) 🍾 Spin the bottle (not quite what HR had in mind for fair distribution) 🧃 Drawing straws (stopped clocks and all that) 🫂 Giving all of your work to the same person (until they burn out and quit) 📧 Giving work to the person who emailed you back fastest (because speed = availability, right?) ℹ️ Remembering who said they might want this kind of work (months ago… when they had availability) 👋 Considering all relevant information in line with the firm's strategic priorities (oh hi, Capacity!) We help firms make work allocation a strategic advantage - leading to happier associates, partners, and clients. Let’s talk.

😍 We’re loving this interactive LLM infographic from Information is Beautiful. For most of us, the sheer number of different developers and models is astonishing. So too is the pace of development – with some models rapidly approaching the level of a human expert. That’s not yet the case in law, however, with Linklaters finding that the main GenAI models are yet to match the expertise of a qualified lawyer. The firm’s new benchmarking report, testing the models against 50 English law prompts, is well worth a read. It shows we’re getting closer to a revolution in law firm operations – but that we’re not there just yet. As a legal tech company, we see it as critical that we stay on top of trends in legal – cutting through the hype to understand what they might mean for you and your firm. 📥 Join us for the ride by signing up to our newsletter, the Legal Digest – covering everything law firms care about, direct to your inbox every Friday.
