New Firm Manager Package Options Tackle Law Firm Growing Pains

Small firm attorneys cite underearning as their biggest pain point, according to a new LexisNexis survey of 450 attorneys in firms from 1-20 in size. In addition the data indicates 40 percent of these attorneys’ actual billable time is not being accounted for, due to inefficient billing and time tracking practices.

To help alleviate this burden, LexisNexis today unveiled powerful new features to its Firm Manager practice management software.

Most notable is a new option which takes the LexisNexis Firm Manager software from a mainly solo/small-firm solution to a rock-solid choice for larger firms.

Essentials includes new functionality especially designed for firms in a position of growth to make better informed business decisions related to productivity and billing: such as role based permissions, productivity reporting and task tracking capabilities. These new features can now help attorneys in growing firms enforce more control and oversight over their firms, while enabling them to focus their attention on business development.

For solo attorneys who are just starting out or looking to better manage their firms in a more centralized, mobile and secure way, fear not, there is also an introductory Starter option.

“Solo and small firm attorneys can now choose the Firm Manager software package that squarely fits their business needs based on their firm’s their size and complexity,” said Wes Gillette, director of product management for Firm Manager.
