Case Study: Manatt, Phelps & Phillips achieves streamlined personnel planning and accurate budgeting with Prophix Software

Balancing the Scales of Personnel Planning at Manatt, Phelps & Phillips

Manatt, Phelps & Phillips is a Los Angeles–based law firm (about 800 employees, $324M revenue) that was using Excel to manage dynamic headcount. This made it hard to roll budgets from staff to divisions, assess personnel impact on revenue, and required duplicate entries and placeholders when employees changed roles or offices.

Manatt implemented Prophix’s Detailed Planning Manager to control staff planning at the individual level and allocate people across departments and time periods, eliminating duplicate data entry and reducing errors. Prophix now supports their equity partner payout model, benefits and detailed billable-hours/revenue calculations, and improved forecasting and stakeholder visibility; Manatt is expanding to cash-flow and capex models with direct integration to Aderant.
