Law Firm 15% increase in fees

The Client

A leading Hampshire law firm, listed as one of the UK’s top 500 law firms

The Brief

Lack of billing, a rise in work in progress, and a reduction of booked chargeable hours was becoming a serious issue for one of the fee earners. The team leader had tried to correct the situation with the fee earner concerned to little effect. 

After a meeting with the Branch Partner in Charge and the team leader, Zambant proposed that a short series of weekly coaching sessions would be the most productive and cost effective way forward. 

Our Achievements

Within 4 weeks the fee earner’s performance had improved by

• An immediate £30,000 of billing from WIP

• Increase of fee generation by 15%

• Use of continuous improvement process and problem solving tools to improve workflow

• Improved morale and a increase of fee generation of whole team by 5%

• The payback time for this investment was just 4 months
