More profitable work for law firms, with less dependence on a few partners.
Law firms depend on the relationships and time of a small number of people. Hexarch helps managing partners and owners with the business side: where new clients come from, how work is scoped and priced, and how the firm approaches new technology safely.
Common patterns
- New work comes from a few referrers or from the personal relationships of a few fee earners.
- Matters are priced on estimates that overrun, and unbilled time builds up.
- Partner time goes on supervision and administration rather than on clients and development.
- Enquiry handling, onboarding and conflict checks are done differently by different people.
- Staff are rightly cautious about AI because of confidentiality and privilege, but there is no policy to guide them.
Where Hexarch focuses
Decide which clients and matters the firm wants more of, build a routine around referrers and enquiries, and spread business development beyond one or two partners.
Review how matters are scoped, estimated and billed, and where fixed fees and clearer scope would reduce unbilled time, within the rules that apply to the firm.
Find the routine tasks where AI could help, draft a use policy that protects confidentiality and privilege, and set up checks so that nothing unreviewed reaches a client.
Scope
Hexarch is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. Firms remain responsible for compliance with the rules of the Law Society of Ireland and other regulators, including those on advertising, fees, client money and confidentiality, and should take their own advice where needed. Hexarch helps with how the firm is run.
