Transform Your Law Firm's Financial Performance
Discover how leading firms are reducing write-offs by 20%, cutting debtor days by 16–20%, and unlocking millions in trapped cash through intelligent revenue optimisation.
The Financial Challenge Facing Law Firms Today
Law firms excel at delivering exceptional legal work yet struggle to convert that expertise into cash efficiently. Rising debtor days, extended lock-up periods exceeding 100 days, and mounting write-offs create significant financial pressure. Research confirms it's "hard to think of another sector worse at getting clients to pay."
The root cause isn't legal capability—it's weak process governance, delayed billing cycles, and cultural resistance to financial discipline. Work is completed rapidly, but billing delays, aged WIP, and unstructured collections practices trap millions in unrealised revenue.

How NEXUM's Profit Journey Delivers Results
NEXUM addresses these challenges through an integrated platform combining software, workflow automation, and behavioural intelligence. The solution targets three critical revenue pillars whilst maintaining light-touch integration with existing practice management systems.
Contract-to-Bill Control
Structured matter inception, automated threshold alerts, real-time scope creep detection, and billing timetable monitoring ensure financial discipline from day one.
Bill-to-Cash Acceleration
Automated reminder workflows, payment prioritisation algorithms, and dispute tracking reduce DSO by 16–20% within months of deployment.
WIP Intelligence
Real-time valuation, behavioural root-cause capture, and mobile partner apps prevent write-offs and improve realisation rates by 20%.
"By the time the bill arrives, the client has forgotten how worried they were... and how grateful they were. Delayed billing reduces realisation and increases negotiation."
The NEXUM Lab: De-Risking Transformation
Unlike traditional implementations, NEXUM's unique Lab methodology provides a controlled testing environment where revenue strategies are validated before firm-wide rollout. This scientific approach eliminates "big bang" failures whilst accelerating return on investment.
The Lab enables champion versus challenger comparisons using real firm data, builds early momentum through quick wins, and captures behavioural insights that drive sustainable cultural change. Partners and finance teams collaborate on realistic scenarios, reducing risk and proving outcomes before full deployment.
