Legal Salesforce Case Management Case Studies

Client: Regional law firm with 180 attorneys across 6 offices, specializing in corporate litigation and real estate transactions.

Challenge: Legal Salesforce Case Management implementation was required after the firm's legacy matter management system failed to scale during a merger, creating 3 disconnected databases with 12,000+ active matters and no unified reporting.

Solution: Smartbrain.io deployed a team of 2 Salesforce architects and 5 developers over 14 weeks. The project included Service Cloud implementation with Legal Matter objects, integration with the firm's timekeeping and document management systems, custom dashboard development for practice group leaders, and data migration from 3 legacy platforms using Salesforce Data Loader.
