Dashboards built for how a law firm makes money
FernLex measures the four numbers partners actually ask about — realization, utilization, collections and matter profitability — and keeps them live against the same matters, time entries and invoices your team already works in. There is no second reporting database to reconcile and no monthly export ritual: what the dashboard shows is what is in the system right now.
Revenue and realization
Invoiced versus collected, plus write-offs and discounts broken down by matter, practice area and timekeeper — so leakage is visible while it can still be fixed.
Utilization and capacity
Where hours are captured, where they go uncaptured, and which teams are already at capacity before the next matter lands.
Matter profitability
Fees earned against the work actually delivered on each matter, ranked so you can see which matters carry the firm and which quietly lose money.
Intake pipeline
Enquiries, qualification rate, conflict clears, engagement rate and average time-to-open, tracked from first contact to signed agreement.
One set of numbers, four different jobs
The managing partner opens the firm view. Finance works the realization and collections panels. The operations lead watches throughput and where matters stall. A practice lead compares matter mix inside their own group. Every panel drills down to the underlying time entry, invoice or matter — no exports, no spreadsheets, no waiting for someone to rebuild a query.
Managing partner
Firm-wide revenue, pipeline and workload on one screen, with drill-down to the matter behind every figure.
Finance
Realization, collections and aging side by side, filtered by client, matter or timekeeper.
Operations
Stage-by-stage throughput showing exactly where matters queue and which handoffs are slow.
Practice leads
A view scoped to their own group, so comparisons stay fair and access stays limited to their work.
Explore live — or hand it to Reporting
Analytics is for looking: open a question, filter it, follow it down to the source record. When the same view needs to land in someone's inbox every Monday, hand it to Reporting — which schedules, formats and delivers it on the cadence you set. Same underlying numbers, two different jobs.
WhereAnalyticsfits
Same matters, same time entries, same deadlines — one record the whole platform reads from.
