Felix Eckhardt (the hardt of Whitehardt) has a background in law firm management. He has developed a data-based management tool called the Flag Report that many of Whitehardt’s clients find invaluable.

The Flag Report was developed for managing partners to watch how cases move through their firm from week to week.

How It Works

Most healthy law firms disburse about 10% of their inventory per month, so let’s start by inputting inventory numbers and disbursement numbers. Is your law firm hitting this 10% mark? Did you replace them by bringing in an equal number of new cases? Just as important, did approximately 10% of your inventory advance to the next phase of the case?

Some attorneys have found the Flag Report so useful they can manage their firms from offsite – a voice will bellow from somewhere in the Cayman Islands, “We’re bottlenecking at demands. Go crack a whip!”.

The Flag Report looks at one-week snapshots of your firm’s case data and provides a map of where to focus management’s attention. If you want more profits, a better case flow, and clear goals to make your law firm run more efficiently, ask us how you can get The Flag Report.
