About this title

Synopsis

Reactive Publishing

Law firms do not fail because of a lack of legal expertise. They fail, stall, or stagnate because work moves too slowly, handoffs break down, and operational complexity compounds as the firm grows. Billing pressure, hiring constraints, and administrative drag quietly erode margins long before partners realize the firm has become inefficient by design.

Legal Workflow Automation is a practical guide to rebuilding how legal work actually moves through a firm. Written for partners, legal operations leaders, administrators, and tech-forward associates, this book focuses on eliminating friction at every stage of the legal workflow, from intake to delivery to billing.

Rather than chasing tools or trends, Kiera Donovan shows how to map, standardize, and automate repeatable legal processes in a way that preserves quality, compliance, and professional judgment. The book breaks down how high-performing firms reduce bottlenecks, shorten turnaround times, and scale output without continuously adding headcount.

You will learn how to:

• Identify hidden workflow failures that quietly drain time and profit

• Design standardized legal processes that are automation-ready

• Automate intake, matter management, document workflows, and approvals

• Reduce rework, errors, and internal dependencies across teams

• Implement automation incrementally without disrupting active cases

At its core, Legal Workflow Automation is about operational clarity. When workflows are visible, structured, and intelligently automated, law firms gain predictability, resilience, and leverage. Attorneys spend more time practicing law. Clients receive faster, more consistent service. Firms grow without burning out their people.

This book is not a technical manual and not a thought experiment. It is a field guide for law firms that want to operate with discipline, efficiency, and control in an increasingly competitive legal market.
