Case Study: Hesketh Henry achieves the confidence to pursue aggressive business goals with Thomson Reuters Elite 3E

3E Gives Law Firm Confidence to Achieve Aggressive Business Goals

Hesketh Henry, one of New Zealand’s oldest full‑service commercial law firms (about 100 staff, 55 lawyers), faced a critical technology challenge when its legacy financial and practice management system was being retired. The firm needed a modern, customizable platform that could support international business practices, improve time capture and billing, and provide real‑time financial intelligence to support ambitious growth.

Hesketh Henry implemented Thomson Reuters Elite 3E, using its integrated development environment and workflow automation to replace manual processes. After a nine‑month rollout with close consulting support, the firm deployed new workflows, descriptive time capture, and user dashboards—resulting in greater efficiency, more detailed and compliant invoices, real‑time reporting for lawyers and managers, and the agility and confidence to pursue aggressive business goals.
