The challenge

Laborde Earles faced operational inefficiencies that directly hurt their ability to capitalize on incoming leads and convert them to clients.

Key pain points

  • Inconsistent lead routing — no standardized case-assignment process
  • Manual handoffs — lost opportunities from assignment and follow-up delays
  • No follow-up accountability — leads falling through the cracks
  • Limited visibility — partners had no real-time view of intake performance
  • Missed opportunities — qualified leads lost to slow response times

The solution: standardized intake operations

A comprehensive intake-management system with standardized routing, automated assignment by practice area and attorney availability, and detailed accountability reporting.

Smart lead routing

Automated assignment by practice-area expertise, attorney availability, and case complexity.

Intake workflow automation

Standardized processes ensuring every lead gets timely, appropriate follow-up.

Accountability reporting

Real-time dashboards tracking response times, conversion rates, and attorney performance.

Follow-up sequences

Automated nurture campaigns so no qualified lead is left uncontacted.
