Case Study: DLA Piper achieves greater resourcing visibility and efficiency with BigHand Resource Management

DLA Piper saves 600+ hours and £673,000 with BigHand

DLA Piper, a top global law firm, faced challenges with its localized and informal resource management model, which relied heavily on partner relationships and lacked full visibility into workloads and skills. This made it difficult to align assignments with capacity and development goals consistently. To address this, the firm implemented BigHand Resource Management to centralize and improve its resourcing strategy.

By deploying BigHand's platform, DLA Piper established a single source of truth for availability, skills, and workloads, enabling data-driven and proactive resource allocation. This solution saved the firm over 600 hours and £673,000 in resource time at the half-year end, significantly improving efficiency, transparency, and lawyer wellbeing. BigHand's technology provided the tools for forecasting and balancing utilization, empowering DLA Piper's resourcing team to act as a strategic partner.
