Outsourced Solutions for Law Firms

Integrated finance, technology, HR, and growth support for law firms and legal organizations.

Most law firms were built to practice law, not run large finance departments, IT teams, or HR operations. As firms grow, add offices, and take on more complex client work, the back office has to keep up. Partner compensation gets harder to model. Trust accounting gets harder to manage. The technology stack gets harder to secure. The people managing all of it are stretched thin.

EisnerAmper's outsourced services platform gives law firms access to the operational infrastructure they need without hiring for every function internally. We work across finance, technology, human resources, and marketing, acting as an extension of your team so your firm can stay focused on clients.

We work with:

  • Am Law and mid-market firms
  • Boutique and specialty practices
  • Multi-office firms and firms expanding geographically
  • Firms in leadership transitions or periods of rapid growth

Finance & Accounting

Law firm accounting runs on its own rules: trust accounts, partner draws, origination credits, and multistate tax obligations. We handle the financial operations, so your team isn’t pulled away from billable work.

  • Trust and IOLTA account management and compliance
  • Partner compensation modeling and draw accounting
  • Billing operations and collections support
  • Monthly close, financial reporting, and cash flow management
  • Budgeting and forecasting for firm leadership
  • CFO-level strategic guidance for managing partners and executive committees

Technology & Data

Law firms run on document management systems, practice management platforms, time and billing software, and an increasing number of AI tools. We manage the infrastructure and security so your attorneys and staff can focus on the work.

  • Managed IT services and help desk
  • Cybersecurity, threat monitoring, and incident response
  • Practice management and document management system support
  • Data and AI enablement for legal workflows
  • Virtual CIO for firmwide technology strategy

Human Resources

Law firms employ attorneys, paralegals, administrative staff, marketing professionals, and IT teams, each with different compensation structures, benefits, and compliance requirements. We support HR across the full spectrum.

  • HR operations and employment compliance
  • Attorney and professional staff recruiting
  • Payroll administration
  • Benefits design and administration
  • Performance management support

Growth & Marketing

Attracting new clients and lateral talent requires a different kind of marketing than most firms have in-house. We provide the strategy and execution to help firms grow their brand, fill their pipeline, and win new work.

  • Fractional CMO leadership
  • Demand generation and client development
  • Brand positioning and thought leadership programs
  • Intake audits and sales coaching
  • Sales enablement and pitch development
  • Lateral partner recruiting marketing

When Firms Typically Engage Us

Firm Growth & Geographic Expansion

Firms adding offices, practice areas, or headcount need accounting, IT, and HR infrastructure that scales with them. We provide that support without requiring new hires in every location.

Leadership & Administrative Transitions

When a managing partner, CFO, COO, or controller departs, the gap can destabilize firm operations. Outsourced support provides continuity while the firm searches for a permanent replacement or restructures the role.

Technology Modernization

Firms upgrading practice management systems, adopting AI tools, or strengthening their cybersecurity posture need experienced technology support to manage the transition and the ongoing operations that follow.

Operational Efficiency & Cost Reduction

Firms looking to reduce overhead, improve back-office processes, or reallocate internal resources toward revenue-generating work. Outsourcing lets firms right-size their operations without sacrificing quality.

Integrated Support Model

Law firm clients often combine services across our platform. A firm might start with outsourced accounting, add managed IT six months later, and bring in recruiting support during a growth phase. This integrated approach lets firms scale operations incrementally, without building separate internal teams for each function.
