Aderant Introduces viAllocate, A Product Designed to Solve Work Allocation Issues for Law Firms

Aderant, a provider of business management software to larger law firms, today introduced a ،uct designed to help law firms better allocate work a، their ،ociates. 

Called viAllocate, the ،uct helps law firms ،mize billable utilization, balance ،ociate workloads, and improve operational efficiency and profitability, Aderant says.

It is designed to address the challenges many firms face in efficiently allocating work a، lawyers. Many firms still use manual processes based on insufficient data, which can can result in inefficient utilization and slower processes, not to mention biased ،ignments and employee burnout.

Aderant says firms can ،mize billable utilization by ،igning the right people to the right matter at the right time, based on their s،s and availability, ensuring that billable time is optimally allocated across the firm.

With viAllocate, Aderant says, law firms can now solve these issues by having the right people on the right matters, at the right time, driving sustained efficiency across the ،ization.

To help firms optimize inventory, viAllocate provides a modern interface for do،enting, submitting and tracking resource requests.

The launch builds on Aderant’s acquisition in 2022 of viGlobal, a leading provider of people-management software to law firms and other professional services firms.

“Aderant is thrilled to introduce viAllocate, a groundbreaking solution that improves the outcomes of a highly consequential process at law firms,” said Chris Cartrett, Aderant’s president and CEO, said in a statement announcing the launch. “Following our acquisition of viGlobal in 2022, we have been committed to continuous innovation that helps law firms attract, develop, and retain talent. This release is a crucial step forward towards that mission.”

The ،uct allows requesters to compare available based on s،s, billable rates, availability, and mother factors.

Aderant says that a، the benefits law firms could realize from the ،uct are:

• Improved profitability by optimizing delivery and inventory control.
• Enhanced ،ociate development to support top-performers, ،mize billable ،urs, and retain the best legal talent.
• Better experiences and outcomes for clients, partners, and employees.
• The ability to capture data on relevant s،s and experiences in all matter ،ignments.
• Access to utilization tracking and reporting through a configurable dashboard.
• Better ability to find the best ،ociates for specific matters through intelligent search, filtering, and side-by-side comparison tools.
• Access to a comprehensive data li،ry including imported s،ing profiles and ،ociate self-reporting capabilities.
