The Smarter Firms Story.

Smarter Firms began as an internal project to allow leadership at Ball Morse Lowe PLLC access to the firm’s most critical data. As the BML team scaled from 12 to 40 members and expanded to multiple states in the last 2.5 years, an intelligent reporting system was developed to provide real-time access to analytics for rapid decision making.

After sharing the software with friends in the legal industry, Smarter Firms was established to offer this service to the broader legal community.

“Ball Morse Lowe has scaled rapidly on the foundation of data. The quicker we can access it, the quicker we can make the best decisions for the firm, our team members, and ultimately, our clients.

This is the same tool we used internally, but the new version looks better and runs faster.”

“We used to spend hours and hours during the workdays, evenings, or on weekends looking for answers. If only spreadsheets and pivot tables counted as billable hours.

Now we know how each team is performing across practice area and location.”

“I have built so many reports manually for the firm - tracking everything from billable goals to collection percentage for each team member, practice area, and location.

The ability to view this data in real-time from my mobile phone or laptop has allowed us to focus on actually moving the numbers that are important to the firm.”
