Legal tech insights from the Tessaract team
Measuring matter profitability remains a challenge for law firms
Every pricing decision, hiring decision and growth plan depends on understanding one thing: which matters actually make money. Yet our Mind the Delivery Gap research, produced in partnership with LPM, found that only 18% of firms are completely confident in their ability to assess matter profitability. A further 38% say their view is inconsistent or inaccurate, while 67% of leaders report that users experience frustrations with their core systems.
Can your law firm grow without adding more operational pressure?
Growth is firmly on the agenda for mid-size UK law firms. According to Mind the Delivery Gap, our research completed in partnership with LPM. 44% expect moderate organic growth, 33% are pursuing geographic growth and 20% anticipate growth through mergers and acquisitions.
Does legal practice management software need accounting?
When law firms replace their legal practice management software, accounting is increasingly becoming part of the same conversation. Our recent discussions with law firm buyers show firms looking for systems that combine practice management, legal accounting, billing and client money management, rather than treating finance as a completely separate technology decision.

Recruiting and retaining talent remains a persistent challenge for mid-size law firms. They are competing with larger firms that can often offer higher salaries, structured career progression, and more established remote working options.
What processes are mid-market law firms automating and where should you start?
One of the greatest benefits of modernising your practice management software is the ability to automate more processes across your firm. Automation helps streamline operations, eliminate workarounds, and reduce manual tasks that otherwise occupy fee earners and support staff’s precious and often, expensive time.
Building the perfect tech ecosystem: Why a best-of-breed stack often beats the all-in-one myth
It’s easy to understand the appeal of the one ring to rule them all software: one partner, one login, one support contact, one magic piece of kit that delivers everything you ever wanted…
The hidden cost of workarounds. How legacy legal practice management systems are quietly holding your law firm back
A workaround is a temporary fix to a process that's been used by permanent staff for years. It’s when three systems, two spreadsheets and a very patient person do the job of one piece of software.
Beyond features: How to choose legal practice management software that delivers real outcomes
When it’s time to choose a new Practice Management System (PMS), it’s tempting to start with a checklist of features. Every demo looks impressive, every vendor promises the world — and before long, you’re comparing dashboards instead of results.
