Capacity is a niche law-firm resource-allocation platform, not a general practice-management suite. The strongest verified story is large and upper-mid-market firms trying to replace spreadsheet- and partner-memory staffing with a configurable allocation layer that balances workload, surfaces available skills, and makes assignment decisions less subjective. Evidence is strongest on the vendor and directory side: Capacity positions itself around utilization smoothing, equitable work distribution, associate autonomy, and returnee/lateral reintegration, and a CMS case study points to firm-wide change-management work around rollout. Public buyer signal is still thin: no meaningful G2/Capterra footprint surfaced, pricing is not published, and the product appears UK-led with limited publicly visible US traction.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Capacity is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Capacity addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Practice-group leaders are staffing urgent matters out of spreadsheets, hallway conversations, and Teams pings - so one associate is drowning, another sits idle, partners burn half a day figuring out who can help, and the firm only notices the damage when someone quits or a deadline slips.
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Capacity
A practice-group leader, staffing partner, or legal-ops team needs to assign a new matter but current knowledge about availability, skills, development goals, and burnout risk lives in spreadsheets, Teams messages, and partner memory.
After Capacity
Capacity helps route work more deliberately, track utilization imbalances, and give firm leadership a clearer view of who is over capacity, underused, or being excluded from development opportunities.
Integrations & hand-offs
New matter or staffing request -> staffing partner or resource manager applies allocation criteria in Capacity -> work is assigned to the selected lawyer -> utilization and allocation data feeds staffing, retention, and workforce-planning discussions.
