Case Study: Nyhus Law Firm achieves 75% increase in billable hours with LeanLaw

Nyhus Law Firm increases billable hours by 75% with LeanLaw

Nyhus Law Firm struggled to capture all of the billable hours worked by one of its paralegals. Although she was working seven to eight hours on client work, she was only billing for four, which led to unnecessary overtime. The firm's principal, Chris Nyhus, needed a way to provide perspective on billing and ensure all billable work was captured. They turned to LeanLaw's legal billing and time tracking software for a solution.

LeanLaw provided Nyhus Law with timekeeper productivity reports that showed real-time data on billable hours. This tool helped the paralegal understand the value of her time and the importance of recording it, even on fixed-fee matters. As a result, she increased her billable hours by 75%. LeanLaw's solution gave the firm clear metrics to set tangible goals and fix productivity issues.
