Gain Actionable Insights from the Foundation Firm Intelligence Platform

A configurable data platform is Foundational to a Firm’s Knowledge Management Strategy

Law firms are under immense pressure to better serve clients, understand past experience, and leverage the expertise of their professionals, so that they can grow their clients, run more efficiently, mitigate risk, and win new business.

The challenge of how to harness a firm’s disparate sources of data — to make the information useful and available firm wide — has long been too costly to solve, too complex to build, and too time consuming to maintain. This challenge is complicated by a move to the least privileged security model.

Locate and Manage Expertise with Ease​

Easily search areas of law, practice specific skills, bar admissions, and languages. Surface the right professional for an assignment using a combination of expertise and past experience.

Rich user profiles track the relevant skills and expertise for each lawyer. Ensure information is accurate and up to date with built-in approval processes and control.

Search the Firm Directory

Find the people you’re looking for with simple configurable search forms, type ahead search, and helpful reports.

Filter lawyers by practice, industry, location, skills, and more. Or, search based on any criteria on their profiles, related experiences, or expertise. Drill down from their profiles to see all related details. Quickly find support staff by function, location, and other criteria.

Assist with Pricing Analysis

Powerful, cross-entity search using firm-defined characteristics simplifies finding representative matters and timekeepers. Feed data to pricing teams to more accurately price and scope matters.

Matter Information Management

Maintain contextual data and information around your matters to make them easy to find

Selectively Track the Most Important Data — Business-defined matter, client, third party, and timekeeper characteristics allow the firm to decide the most important information to track and manage.

Help Locate Precedents and Documents — Zero in on representative matters using Foundation’s intelligent search, and/or include Foundation experiences in enterprise search results. Use the details to locate assets in other systems.

Enforce the Least Privileged Security Model — As more clients demand need-to-know restrictions on their work product, even finding who has authored documents becomes more challenging. In Foundation you can search for matters based on their characteristics, then reach out to involved lawyers for more information.

A System Lawyers Will Use. Really.

Foundation makes it easy for lawyers to contribute information locked in their heads. Brief, easy to complete surveys can be triggered for lawyers to provide minimal, necessary details without pain or distraction.

Lawyers can run reports and use google-like search to quickly find work the firm has done for a client, who has done that work, and who might have particular expertise.
