Some of the Group8 team recently had the pleasure of attending a fantastic Pirical event at an uber cool venue, South Place Hotel, London for ‘Sips, Bites and Legal Insights’. The focus was the lateral market in London with some, as always, useful aggregated information about which firms’ partner cohort has grown the most in the last 4 years. We have been fans and users of Pirical for a long time - having an AI driven tool capturing live market metrics and data ensures that more of our time can be spent analysing it, enabling our clients to make the right informed decisions about their growth. It’s a super smart tool run by super smart people, who understand the legal industry and go out of their way to create a sense of community amongst their users. Thank you Jason Ku, Chris Griffiths and the Pirical crew for putting together a fab evening - we learned stuff, made new friends and were left challenged (trying to work out what the Keanu Reeves sign meant!) It was also great to see a ‘firm favourite’ up there on the leader board Ashurst !

Last week marked the 2nd edition of POD Pioneers, our latest gathering of Pirical On Demand (POD) customers for a day of product updates, networking and plenty of cake. 5 key takeaways from the event: 🍰 1. Law firms are keener than ever for business leaders and HR Business Partners (HRBPs) to ground their everyday in data New senior hires are coming into law firms from outside the legal sector with higher expectations that data will be at their fingertips and lower appetite to make decisions without data. 💚 2. Showing what’s possible with data will increase appetite for more data One firm showed an example project where they zoomed in on attrition but used the project as a showcase of new data capabilities. Internal stakeholders began to be more curious around this HR data, asking questions like “I didn't know we could provide this, what else can we do?” 🍷 3. Spending 500 hours mastering your data will help drive lasting organisational change "If you're a diversity leader, you can't just rely on a data analyst to summarise what you need to know. You need to have spent the time yourself - I think I've spent like 500 hours in POD or something - getting to grips with our data. What's interesting about it, what I want to look into next etc." 🌎 4. Long-term strategic planning doesn’t work without good data Gathering named-firm competitor data would usually involve manually looking through websites and 'counting heads' to see where firms have been growing. We discussed Pirical's new legal market intelligence tool, PLP Strategy, which solves this gap in the market. 🧑💻 5. General Counsel (GCs) want law firms to back up their claims of diversity progress with hard data We looked at how a law firm used evidence of the organisation’s DEI improvements to stand out from its competitors and build a strong high-trust relationship with a valued client. #LegalPracticeManagement #Legal #HR #Diversity #PeopleAnalytics Read more https://lnkd.in/eQsrZTCV
