Their ambition: To modernise for growth
Managing Partner Ashkan Candey wanted to create a more connected, data-driven firm that could scale efficiently while continuing to deliver exceptional client service.
The firm needed better access to real-time operational and financial insight, alongside a modern platform that would empower fee earners with the information they needed to make faster, smarter, more commercial decisions.
At the same time, CANDEY wanted to reduce its reliance on manual administration and create a more agile operating model that could support continued growth.
Why CANDEY chose Tessaract
CANDEY selected Tessaract.io because the platform offered a modern, cloud-native approach that aligned with the firm’s ambitions for growth, agility, and operational visibility.
The firm was particularly drawn to Tessaract’s ability to provide real-time reporting, configurable workflows, and intuitive access to business intelligence for fee earners across the firm.
Equally important was Tessaract’s collaborative approach and willingness to develop a platform around the real-world needs of law firms.
The results - a more agile, data-driven firm
Since implementing Tessaract, CANDEY has transformed the way the firm accesses and uses operational and financial data.
Fee earners now have direct access to the information they need, reducing reliance on support teams and improving responsiveness across the business. Leadership teams have gained far greater visibility into individual and team performance, helping the firm operate more efficiently while continuing to scale.
The firm has also significantly improved operational efficiency by reducing manual reporting processes and giving teams access to intuitive, real-time dashboards and reporting tools.y modernising its practice management platform, CANDEY has created a more agile and scalable operating model, enabling the firm to remain cost efficient while continuing to deliver a high level of service to clients.
Legal tech insights from the Tessaract team
Is technology becoming a deciding factor for potential employees?
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?

Essential types of analytics and reports for your law firm's success
According to “Big Data: The Management Revolution” by Andrew AcAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson, the success of a business depends largely on how it is able to collect, process and interpret data from a multitude of sources.

Demystifying data migration, it’s not as scary as you might think
In our discussions with SME firm leaders, nervousness around the daunting challenge of data migration–or so it is perceived to be–is often the reason given for not considering a move away from a legacy legal Practice Management System (PMS) to a cloud-native solution.
