Case Study: Beard St. Clair Gaffney Law Firm saves two days a month with LeanLaw

Law firm business manager saves two days each month through automated coding of billable hours

Beard St. Clair Gaffney Law Firm, a Mac-based law firm with 40 timekeepers, faced challenges with its outdated PCLaw software. The antiquated system led to attorneys tracking time on spreadsheets, which business manager Jennifer Wells then had to manually code. The software was slow, disconnected from their bank, and required frequent support calls, prompting a search for modern, automated accounting software like LeanLaw.

LeanLaw provided a cloud-based solution with easy-to-use time entry that encouraged all attorneys to track time contemporaneously. This automation saved Jennifer two days per month on manual coding and eliminated weekly support calls. The firm also more than doubled its payment speed by sending online invoices. According to Wells, LeanLaw simplified the time tracking process, captured more billable hours, and freed up staff for more valuable work.
