Multi-Reviewer Input and Goal Tracking in Every Review

Build objective reviews by tying evaluations to case or matter completion. Match the review cycle to associates' progress through project-based review cycles to eliminate the lag between performance and feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HR software for law firms?
HR software for law firms is a platform that helps legal organizations run structured performance review cycles, track attorney goals, and document performance across role levels. The best tools for law firms support case-based review timing, handle multi-reviewer input from attorneys across different matters, and let firms run concurrent processes from intern through managing partner.
Can PerformYard run different review cycles for associates and partners simultaneously?
Yes. PerformYard runs concurrent review processes for each role level at the same time. Interns, associates, senior associates, and managing partners can each be in a separate review cycle with different forms, questions, and timing, all managed from one platform without manual coordination.
How does PerformYard support case-based performance reviews for attorneys?
PerformYard supports case and matter-based review timing rather than a fixed calendar year. Each practice group or matter type can have its own review form, participant group, and completion window. These project-based cycles run alongside annual or quarterly evaluations without requiring a separate system.
How does multi-reviewer and 360-degree feedback work at law firms?
PerformYard's 360-degree feedback and multi-reviewer structures collect input from every attorney an associate has worked with, not just their primary supervisor. Feedback aggregates automatically in one place and surfaces at review time so nothing gets missed between matters.
How long does implementation take for a law firm?
Most law firms are up and running within a few weeks. Every PerformYard customer gets a dedicated customer success manager who handles process design, employee training, and first-cycle launch at no extra cost. Firms with complex org structures and concurrent review requirements get the same level of support as any other customer.
