Meet WS Kane & Co: 80+ Years of Legal Excellence
Founded in 1942, WS Kane & Co. is one of India’s oldest and most respected law firms. For over eight decades, the firm has helped clients across industries with
- Patents
- Trademarks
- Copyrights
- Complex legal disputes
They work with big companies, new startups, and government offices on important legal cases. Their lawyers are experts at protecting ideas and solving legal problems.
But with growing caseloads and expanding teams, managing daily operations became harder than ever…
The Problem: Operational Gaps Behind a Trusted Legacy
While WS Kane & Co. thrived in client service, internal challenges started affecting efficiency.
Manual processes, low visibility, and increasing admin work were getting in the way.
The Breaking Points
- No real-time visibility into case progress or team activities
- 18–20% of time spent on non-billable tasks
- Delayed billing cycles and invoicing errors
- Lack of shift tracking for legal assistants and interns
- Compliance risks due to poor documentation of working hours
- Missed deadlines due to manual task coordination
The Wake-Up Call: Clients started complaining 35% more about confusing bills, and cases were taking 25% longer to finish than at other law firms.
