For high-performing PI firms, scaling beyond $10M requires operational efficiency. What worked to get you here may not work to get you to the next stage of growth.
As your firm grows, operational inefficiencies and manual processes can become a major drain on resources. If your legal ops team is still manually tracking payments, for example, or handling case statuses in spreadsheets, your firm is likely wasting valuable time and money. These inefficiencies can lead to bottlenecks that prevent your practice from scaling.
Introducing Invisible Ops: A New Operating Model
Invisible ops is an advanced operational model that is helping law firms achieve exponential growth. Powered by AI and automation, helping firms optimize workflows, reduce overhead, and grow without increasing headcount. Instead of increasing staff to manage operational complexities, Invisible ops allows firms to streamline processes and operate more efficiently with fewer resources.
Key Features:
- Invisible ops focuses on automating back-office processes while minimizing human intervention.
- The model of working eliminates manual tasks, such as case tracking and billing disputes, using AI to handle operations behind the scenes.
- Firms adopting Invisible ops experience faster collections, fewer write-offs, and scale more efficiently.
The Problem: Inefficient Manual Operations Are Limiting Growth
At over $10M in revenue, your firm is established. However, many operational functions may still rely on outdated, manual processes. These inefficiencies contribute to:
- Revenue Delays: On average, 25–30% of LOP revenue is delayed or written off due to manual tracking breakdowns.
- Overburdened Teams: Your team spends significant time on tasks that could be automated, such as case status updates and attorney-provider coordination.
- Lack of Visibility: Without real-time reporting, financial and operations leads are left blind to what’s collectible versus aging.
- Inefficient Case Economics: Even with strong settlements, delays in collections can erode profitability.
These manual processes often go unnoticed, yet they significantly impact your firm’s profitability and hinder growth.
What Are “Invisible ops”?
Invisible Ops refers to automated workflows and AI-powered systems that manage operations seamlessly and autonomously. The result is less manual oversight, fewer bottlenecks, and a streamlined process that operates in the background.
How Invisible Ops Works:
- Automated Workflows: Intake, follow-ups, and payment tracking are all automated, which means manual intervention is not necessary.
- AI-Powered Alerts: The system surfaces only the exceptions, alerting your team to issues such as delayed payments or missing records.
- Real-Time Dashboards: All stakeholders, including ops teams, finance leads, and managing partners, access the same data in real time, eliminating the need for constant check-ins.
The Results:
- Faster Collections: More timely payments with fewer write-offs.
- Operational Efficiency: Reduced administrative overhead and more time for strategic case development.
- Scalable Growth: Confidence to scale without increasing staff or operational complexity.
How the Best Firms Are Using AI Today
Leading PI firms are leveraging AI to streamline operations and drive results. Here are five key use cases for AI in personal injury:
1. LOP Lifecycle Automation:
- Automate the entire LOP process, from intake to payment, with AI-triggered workflows.
- Example: Once a settlement is finalized, the system automatically generates a payment request, reducing the need for manual follow-ups.
2. A/R and Settlement Alerts:
- The system notifies staff when critical milestones are reached, such as a settlement or overdue payment, eliminating the need for constant tracking.
3. Billing Dispute Intelligence:
- AI analyzes historical claims data to predict payment delays and identify disputes before they affect cash flow, enabling proactive resolution.
4. Provider-Attorney Coordination:
- Use a shared portal for seamless communication and document sharing between attorneys and providers, reducing misalignment and delays.
5. CFO Dashboards & Predictive Reporting:
- Real-time dashboards track outstanding balances and settlement projections, enabling CFOs to forecast revenue more accurately.
