In today’s data-driven world, even lawyers are inundated with more information than they know what to do with. When cases are data-intensive, a whole different set of skills is needed to shed light on the facts. But before the strength of a case can be assessed and before funds are allocated for experts, and perhaps before a case is even accepted, lawyers just need to make some sense out of the data at hand.

In today’s data-driven world, even lawyers are
inundated with more information than they know
what to do with. When cases are data-intensive, a
whole different set of skills is needed to shed light on
the facts. But before the strength of a case can be
assessed and before funds are allocated for experts,
and perhaps before a case is even accepted, lawyers
just need to make some sense out of the data at hand.
But often the data they receive is provided as a data
dump, much like the abbreviated data dump shown
below. Data dumps like this contain far too many
records to feasibly review without utilizing some sort
of descriptive and analytical techniques: The very
techniques that were not included in law school
curriculum.

3. At Excelhelp.com, we have helped countless law firms
overcome this hurdle by providing simple, streamlined
applications that read, process and analyze data sets
with the click of a button. Our excel VBA experts know
what to do with data. We take data that looks like the
above and transform it into easy-to read, interactive
visualizations like the one below. Armed with a better
understanding of the data, lawyers can develop
informed strategies for their cases.
While the image shown is for analysis of staffing
levels at a health care facility, we also build
applications that analyze data related to compliance,
court cases, financial transactions, manufacturing,
marketing and more. Our expert VBA developers can
take just about any data and find ways to make sense
of it with tables and visualizations that tell the story.

4. Excel Applications for Case Evaluation and
Management
Some law firms just need help with managing their own business affairs. We have helped firms
automate a wide variety of tasks including case tracking, mail merge, budgeting and more.
One of our court case trackers is used extensively by the firm’s law clerks
to assess the merit of the cases, enter pertinent findings and log
correspondence with potential new clients.

5. Excel Applications for Law Firm Budgeting
A large law firm uses one of our tools to develop,
consolidate and manage budgets from multiple
departments. This tool is used in conjunction with
the database of a larger accounting system and
provides reports that are more useful to managers
than the reports generated by the accounting
system. With this system, budget templates are
automatically generated with the pertinent line
items for each department. Department managers
can then easily create their budgets for the coming
year. Once they are submitted to the central
accounting office, budgets from all departments are
automatically consolidated into a master budget for
the firm.
