Law firms - written worksheet
The intake capacity worksheet
A written worksheet for turning your staffing, hours and existing load into the number of new inquiries a week your firm can genuinely answer.
For attorneys and firm administrators. Injured people should not use this page.
We send it in writing, by email, with your answers on this page filled in where you gave them.
What is in it
- 01
A weekly intake ceiling
One number you can plan staffing and spend against.
- 02
A time-per-inquiry figure
Useful for every hiring decision that follows.
- 03
A pacing schedule
Delivery limits that stop volume outrunning the desk.
- 04
A hiring trigger
The volume at which another person is required, decided in advance rather than during a bad month.
Useful for any source of new matters, including referrals and your own advertising.
Where it came from
How many new inquiries can your desk absorb in a week?
Capacity is not ambition. It is the number of first calls, follow-ups and consultations your current staff can complete in a week without anything slipping, and it is usually lower than the number firms ask for.
