All of LawStream's entry windows could be considered as "management" windows, because they are all designed to help you manage information about your office. Some of those windows, though, have been specifically designed to provide information that can be of particular value to partners and office managers/administrators. Examples of those windows are shown below. |
Several types of management reports can be accessed through the "Other Reports and Processes" area of the Accounting tab, as shown below. You may note that this window provides quick access to essential income information, and can give a helpful picture of recent billing and collection activity for the firm. |

That management window is not limited to billing information. You can also use it, to see how well the lawyers in the office have been converting their time into money, and to see which clients have been the most lucrative for your office. The Client Dedication report will provide a summary for each client, showing the number of open files, the number of files opened, the fees billed, and the fees received, for each of those clients. The Attorney Productivity report will show (for each lawyer/timekeeper in the office) the amount of time recorded, the amount of billable time recorded, the amount of fees billed, and the amount of fees collected, on a day-by-day basis, with totals: it can be useful for determining productivity for the purposes of bonuses, partnership decisions, etc.. |
