Law Firm Outsources Key Litigation Support To Serve More ClientsBPM Services
Overview
Gordon & Partners was founded in 1993 with the desire to give voice to individuals that had become victims of unexpected injury. In almost three decades, the firm grew to include more than 20 decorated trial attorneys who have represented thousands of clients and won more than $1 Billion on their behalf.
Challenge
Despite Gordon & Partners’ growing team and resources, the firm’s client base was outgrowing its capacity to scale. With a need to rapidly expand its capabilities, Gordon & Partners looked for a partner in case management that could help the firm manage the many details associated with claims filing, help resolve claims faster and generally enable the firm to take on more clients.
“It is increasingly difficult to hire strong talent for the legal back office,” said Michael Hoffman, Senior Attorney at Gordon & Partners. “Rather than dedicating the firm’s valuable resources to hiring and retention, we shifted our focus toward outsourcing case management. This has helped us boost productivity, focus on delivering value and support even more individuals in need.”
Solution
Provana’s business process outsourcing model stood out to Gordon & Partners because of its flexibility to support every part of the legal process. From document review and preparation to operations management and mail processing Provana’s trained, knowledgeable staff supports compliance, productivity and profit.
Gordon & Partners chose to leverage the Provana Perfect Employee to support more clients without increasing labor costs. Depending on the firm’s monthly volume of cases, it can scale-up or scale-down its operations, drastically reducing overhead costs by over 50%.
