Case Study: Allen & Overy achieves global standardization, compliance and scalable growth with Thomson Reuters Elite's 3E

A Premier Global Law Firm Reaps Benefits of 3E Upgrade

Allen & Overy is a global law firm with 36 offices in 26 countries, more than 2,800 lawyers and over 5,000 staff. Rapid growth, increasingly complex client billing requirements and varying local tax and accounting rules left the firm maintaining multiple local systems and relying on manual, paper-based reporting—creating inefficiency, inconsistent data and compliance risk.

After selecting and rolling out Thomson Reuters Elite 3E as a single global financial and practice management platform, A&O eliminated disparate local accounting systems, standardized processes and gained one real‑time source of truth. 3E provided multi‑currency and multi‑jurisdiction compliance, robust billing, workflow controls (including write‑off approvals), dashboards and enhanced profitability analysis, enabling faster decision‑making, tighter controls and continued international expansion.
