A Thomson Reuters Elite Case Study
Stempel Bennett Claman & Hochberg is a 12‑attorney boutique real estate firm in New York City that needed to streamline billing, financials and practice management to maintain efficiency and strong client service across a wide range of matters. With a “just in time” tech philosophy, the firm sought a single integrated system that staff would actually use to reduce costs, speed billing and centralize matter and contact information.
The firm implemented ProLaw’s fully integrated practice- and financial-management solution, giving attorneys real‑time access to matter and billing data and enabling paralegals to take on more billing tasks. Within 18 months the firm eliminated one full-time position and estimates at least $50K annual savings (about $600K over 12 years), faster monthly invoicing and better cash flow, lower storage costs by identifying zero‑balance closed matters, and improved fee, staffing and client-service decisions through robust reporting and centralized records.
