How we calculate this.
Conservative assumptions. Most firms find the real numbers are higher.
Automation Savings
Matters × 8 automations × 3 minutes each. Conservative estimate — most firms spend longer per task.
Administrative Recovery
15 minutes per person per day recovered from status checking. That's 5+ hours per person per month.
Billable Capacity
Recovered hours × hourly rate = capacity your firm could be billing. This isn't cost reduction — it's revenue recovery.
Before you add headcount, look at the capacity you already have.
Hiring adds cost. Legalboards unlocks capacity your team already has — without salary, benefits, or training overhead.

What changes when you stop losing those hours.
This isn't about saving money. It's about using the capacity you're already paying for.
Take more cases without hiring
Recovered hours mean your existing team has bandwidth to grow the practice — without adding headcount.
Reduce overload on key staff
When workflows are visible and handoffs are automatic, the pressure stops concentrating on your best people.
Stabilize workload across the team
Capacity becomes visible. You redistribute before someone burns out or a deadline gets missed.
If you're making a decision based on this, these are the questions that matter.
Yes. Our formula uses conservative estimates: 8 automations per matter at 3 minutes each, plus 15 minutes of daily admin recovery per person. Most firms find the actual savings are higher.
Most firms see measurable improvements within the first 30 days. Automation savings kick in immediately. Administrative recovery builds as your team adopts visible workflows.

The calculator uses averages across law firms. Immigration, family law, and personal injury firms often see higher savings due to higher matter volumes. Book a custom audit for practice-specific numbers.
CMS automations typically handle document generation and calendar entries. Legalboards automates the coordination layer — handoffs, status tracking, and stage transitions — which is where most unbillable time is lost.
