The ROI of automation: Why it's essential
Automation is not a cost, it's an investment. For an average law firm, automation can save 15-20 hours per month, equivalent to half a part-time position.
Measurable time savings by process
- Client portal: 1-2h/day = 20-40h/month (reduced emails/calls)
- E-signature: 30-45 min/day = 10-15h/month (automatic reminders)
- Document generation: 1h/day = 20h/month (documents generated in seconds)
- Deadline management: 1-2h/day = 20-40h/month (automatic alerts)
- Time tracking: 30 min/day = 10h/month (automatic synchronization)
- Billing: 1h/month (automatic generation)
