STOCKHOLM — Wemble, a pioneering legal tech company based in Sweden, today announced the launch of its people analytics and smart work allocation platform in the United States. Designed to help law firms optimize resource management, the platform integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Teams to improve collaboration and enhance decision-making.
Wemble’s platform delivers real-time insights into associate workloads, expertise, skill sets, and availability, enabling firms to better manage their most valuable resource: their people. By allowing associates to self-report availability and preferences, the platform transforms traditional resource management into a transparent, data-driven process. Predictive analytics further enhance its capabilities by forecasting practice group needs and integrating with existing business systems for timely, actionable data.
The legal industry has long struggled with inefficient resource management and outdated systems. Jeroen Plink, investor and chairman of the Wemble board, said,
“Wemble’s platform is a game-changer for law firms. By integrating people analytics into operations, firms can make data-driven decisions that reflect the true capabilities and availability of their teams.”
Hugo Falk, founder and CEO of Wemble, emphasized the platform’s real-time data capabilities.
“In many firms, there’s no clear process for work allocation, and resource managers often base decisions on outdated information. Wemble solves this by providing real-time insights, allowing leaders to assign work based on facts, not assumptions.”
Beyond improving efficiency, Wemble’s platform also promotes inclusivity within law firms. By giving decision-makers access to up-to-date data on associate availability and competencies, the platform helps eliminate bias in resource allocation, creating a fairer environment for all practitioners.
“Each task assignment isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about fairness,” Falk added. “Wemble helps ensure that every lawyer has an equal opportunity to thrive.”
Wemble’s effectiveness is already evident in its adoption across more than 100 practice groups globally. One early adopter, Faber Daeufer & Itrato PC, with offices in Boston and New York, praised the platform’s impact on staffing decisions.
Partner Sumy Daeufer said, “Wemble gives me visibility into who in our firm has both the availability and the expertise to take on projects. The information is accurate and timely, streamlining our project teams.”
David Schrag, senior director of information technology at Faber Daeufer & Itrato, highlighted the platform’s easy integration into their existing systems. The Massachusetts-headquartered law firm began a pilot with Wemble around a year ago.
“We’ve been a cloud-first organization for years, and Wemble’s tight integration with Microsoft Teams made the setup seamless. Adoption was quick, and attorneys actually thanked us for introducing it. The Wemble team has been incredibly responsive to our suggestions for enhancements, creating a user-friendly experience that requires minimal training.”
Founded in 2019, Wemble is a leading legal tech company transforming how law firms manage resources and allocate work. Focused on user-friendly design, the company partners with top researchers and designers to deliver an intuitive platform that streamlines workflows, improves resource efficiency, and maximizes the potential of legal teams.
Wemble’s platform is now available to law firms in the US. Firms interested in learning more can explore www.wemble.com or contact marketing@getwemble.com for details on pricing and features.
