Each prompt is designed for law firm financial analysis in ChatGPT. Copy the prompt, add your data, and get a structured report in under a minute.

Financial Performance

Revenue Analysis by Practice Area

Analyze collected revenue across practice areas to surface growth opportunities and underperforming segments — and get actionable recommendations in minutes.

ChatGPT Prompt

Given the firm's financial reports for the last two years, categorize and analyze days to bill, billed time and collected revenue by practice area. Identify trends, highlight growth areas and pinpoint underperforming segments. Suggest actionable strategies for revenue optimization, gaps between billing and collection and other business improvements.

Sample Data Set Included

Two years of law firm financial data organized by practice area — including billed time, collected revenue, and days-to-bill metrics segmented by litigation, corporate, real estate, and family law.

Cost Control

Expense Management Review

Break down firm expenses by category and department to find cost-saving opportunities without sacrificing service quality.

ChatGPT Prompt

Analyze the firm's detailed expense report for the previous fiscal year. Break down expenses by category and department, identify trends and areas of high expenditure, and recommend cost-saving strategies without compromising service quality.

Sample Data Set Included

One full fiscal year of itemized firm expense data, organized by category (staffing, technology, office, marketing, professional development) and by department.

Predictive Analysis

Financial Forecasting

Project next year's financial outlook using three years of historical data — with risk flags and strategic opportunities highlighted for firm leadership.

ChatGPT Prompt

Using the financial performance data from the past three years, forecast the firm's financial outlook for the next year. Consider current market trends, growth in practice areas, and planned investments. Highlight potential risks and strategic opportunities.

Sample Data Set Included

Three years of annual firm financial performance data including revenue by practice area, headcount changes, technology investments, and market context for the firm's primary practice areas.

Best Practices

Get the Most Out of These Prompts

Use a secure AI environment

Run these prompts in ChatGPT Teams or ChatGPT Enterprise — not the free public version. The paid tiers opt your data out of model training so client information stays confidential.

Start with sample data

Practice on the included anonymized data sets before running prompts against real firm data. It's the fastest way to build fluency without any risk.

Verify every output

AI can hallucinate numbers and trends. Treat every output as a first draft — review figures against source reports before sharing with firm leadership.

Pair prompts with LeanLaw data
