Business professionals in a meeting around a table

Case study · Subscription data

Legal Monitor

A subscription data platform for lawyers and law firm managers, pairing interactive charts with editorial content the team updates themselves.

The problem

Legal Monitor provides business development, marketing, finance and HR tools exclusively for lawyers and law firm managers. Its value is its data, and it had a lot of it.

It needed a dedicated system to analyse that data, sell access to it and present it in a form busy partners would actually use. There were several ways to build that, and the choice would shape the cost of everything that followed.

What we had to solve

Choosing the approach

Several options could have worked. The right one had to meet the need without adding complexity the business would pay for later.

Paid access

A subscription system had to control exactly which data each subscriber could see.

Charts people explore

Static tables wouldn't do. Subscribers needed interactive charts they could filter and read quickly.

Numbers need context

The team needed to explain what the data meant, alongside the charts, without waiting on a developer.

What we built

We reviewed the options with Legal Monitor and, as is often the case, the best fit was also the simplest. The platform pairs a full subscription system with fully dynamic, interactive charts.

Because it sits on a content management system, the team can write and edit the explanatory content around each chart themselves, explaining and contextualising the data as the market moves.
