Aderant Launches viAllocate, Innovative Solution That Solves Work Allocation Challenges for Law Firms

Trailblazing technology ensures the right people are assigned to the right matters at the right time

Aderant, a leading global provider of legal business management solutions, has launched viAllocate, a new solution that helps law firms maximize billable utilization, balance associate workloads, and improve operational efficiency and profitability.

This new solution, the latest in a series of innovative launches by Aderant, is specifically designed to tackle challenges law firms face related to allocation of work. These challenges include inefficient workload distribution, manual processes prone to errors and biases, and limited associate metadata. Collectively, this can lead to inefficiencies in utilization, slower processes, suboptimal outcomes, employee burnout, increased attrition, and even significant negative impacts on profitability.

With viAllocate, law firms can now solve these issues by automating lawyer availability and skill tracking, and by easing the process of finding lawyers with the capacity and required expertise for each matter.

“Aderant is thrilled to introduce viAllocate, a groundbreaking solution that improves the outcomes of a highly consequential process at law firms,” said Chris Cartrett, President and CEO at Aderant. “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.”

Law firms using viAllocate will also be able to:

• Improve profitability by optimizing delivery and inventory control.
• Enhance associate development to support top performers, maximize billable hours, and retain the best legal talent.
• Deliver better experiences and outcomes for clients, partners, and employees.
• Capture rich data on relevant skills and experiences in all matter assignments.
• Access utilization tracking & reporting with a configurable, user-friendly dashboard view.
• Leverage intelligent search, filter, and side-by-side comparison tools for finding the best associates to staff matters.
• View a comprehensive data library featuring imported staffing profiles and associate self-reporting capabilities.

“Using viAllocate, work allocators can filter and compare associates by skills, experience, and other criteria to inform new matter assignments,” said Doug Matthews, Chief Product Officer at Aderant. “Allocators can also forecast upcoming availability, track utilization rates, and report on workload trends. viAllocate helps firms prevent both underutilization and burnout, common issues that can lead to attrition. Firms can leverage this technology to support associate development, maximize billable hours, and accelerate revenue growth.”

Learn more about viAllocate and how law firms can put the right people on the right matters at the right time. Aderant will be demonstrating viAllocate at ILTACON 2024 this week in Nashville (booth# 235).
