Client background
This company is a major law firm headquartered in Chicago with over 430 attorneys. Their expertise includes mergers and acquisitions, securities, finance, private equity, real estate, tax, insurance, environmental and commercial law.
The business challenge
The law firm had significant challenges in using their data effectively due to siloed datasets in their existing data warehouse. Data was sourced from a mix of cloud and on-premises transactional applications but was missing a streamlined approach to data processing and the ability to easily add new data sources. The absence of a fully integrated and highly efficient platform limited the firm’s potential to perform comprehensive analysis of time spent by attorneys and paralegals on legal matters across the business and the associated profitability of various business practices.
