Case Study: Cuatrecasas Law Firm achieves faster onboarding and higher productivity with Ultimus

Discovering a unique path to higher productivity Reducing unproductive time by automating business processes

Cuatrecasas is a leading Iberian business law firm with more than 1,200 staff (800 lawyers) and a global office network. Facing lengthy, error-prone HR and IT administration—especially for new‑hire onboarding and vacation approvals—the firm wanted to reduce lag time, improve transparency and responsiveness, and free lawyers to spend more time on chargeable work.

Cuatrecasas implemented Ultimus BPM to automate parallel workflows, sync the OrgChart with META4 and Active Directory, and integrate systems including Hummingbird DM, ELITE and Unicenter (plus single‑sign‑on). The automated new‑starter process cut completion from 2–3 weeks to under one week, eliminated manual errors, saved significant IT hours, improved coordination and visibility, and enabled expansion to vacation and conflict‑checking processes—boosting productivity and profitability.
