Using Section 179 to Maximize Year-End Tax Savings Without Sacrificing Cash Flow
As year-end approaches, CFOs and controllers are focused on ways to optimize tax efficiency while protecting cash flow. One of the most effective and often overlooked levers is Section 179 of the IRS tax code. For companies planning technology investments or equipment upgrades, this provision can deliver substantial tax relief in the current year.
Using Sale-Leasebacks to Fund Dividend Distributions Without Tapping the Revolver
In today’s capital-constrained environment, CFOs must balance liquidity preservation, covenant management, and distribution expectations, all while ensuring operational continuity. One underutilized option that can relieve pressure quickly is the sale-leaseback.
When the Market Shifts, Your Leasing Strategy Should Steady the Ship
Law firms are navigating tighter margins, evolving client expectations, and increased pressure to innovate. At the same time, technology upgrades are non-negotiable, critical to maintaining security, enabling hybrid work, and improving firm-wide performance.
Scaling IT Without Scaling Your Headcount: Smarter Support for Law Firm Tech Teams
ILTA’s 2025 Technology Survey makes one thing clear: law firm IT teams are being stretched. From security demands to hybrid support to rolling out new systems across multiple locations, expectations are rising fast, but resources are not.
Bridging the Gap Between Strategy and Execution in Law Firm IT
Every law firm has a vision for where it wants to go. IT leaders are setting smart goals: improve security, modernize workflows, scale cloud adoption, and support hybrid teams. But according to ILTA’s 2025 Technology Survey, the challenge is not strategy, it’s execution.
Why Lifecycle Planning and Sustainability Matter More in 2025
New tech brings opportunity, but managing that tech over time is what creates lasting value. The ILTA 2025 Technology Survey confirms what many law firms are already experiencing: without strong lifecycle planning, even the best technology becomes harder to manage, track, and refresh.
Security Is a Top Priority. But Are You Overlooking the Infrastructure Behind It?
Law firms continue to invest heavily in security, and for good reason. ILTA’s 2025 Technology Survey shows rising adoption across every major category of security software, from endpoint detection to multi-factor authentication.
The Cloud Is Climbing. Is Your Infrastructure Strategy Keeping Up?
ILTA’s 2025 Technology Survey shows a clear trend: more firms are embracing the cloud than ever before. Nearly 9 in 10 firms are either mostly cloud-based or moving in that direction with every new upgrade. And it’s not just about where your systems live, it’s about how your firm manages growth, risk, and cost along the way.
Bridging the Infrastructure Gap Without Compromising Your Mission
Nonprofits and educational institutions face an ongoing tension: mission growth depends on modern infrastructure, yet capital availability rarely aligns with operational urgency. Technology upgrades get deferred year after year, not because they aren’t needed, but because there’s no clear financial path that fits annual budget constraints, grant cycles, or fiscal policies.
Accelerating Technology Deployment Without Capital Disruption
In today’s asset-constrained environment, even operationally sound projects can be sidelined, not due to lack of value, but because they don’t align with capital planning windows. That creates a drag on productivity, ROI, and deployment timelines.
Modern Manufacturing Without Capital Bottlenecks: Leasing That Keeps Throughput and Uptime on Track
Manufacturing and distribution environments are moving fast. Robotics, vision systems, AI-driven QC, and integrated WES/WMS platforms are essential to meeting tighter SLAs and client cycle times. But too often, modernization plans stall due to capital bottlenecks that don’t align with operations.
AI-Powered Legal Operations: How Leasing Supports Data-Driven Efficiency
AI is transforming legal operations, particularly in cost control, invoice review, and matter forecasting. But many firms are underestimating the infrastructure needed to support these tools.
End-of-Term Trap: What Firms Should Know Before Their Leases Expire
Many law firms excel at structuring equipment leases at the start. But as expiration nears, even well-run programs can break down. That is when firms face unexpected auto-renewals, unreturned equipment fees, or rushed replacements.
Law Firm Financial Pressures Are Rising: How Leasing Can Buffer Tech Investment
Law firm margins are tightening, even for those reporting strong billing cycles. Collections are down, operational costs are rising, and capital expenditures are increasingly under scrutiny. The result: IT leaders are expected to deliver high performance and security without the benefit of large capital budgets.
Facing Financial Headwinds? How Leasing Helps Law Firms Stay Strategic Amid Rising Costs
A new legal industry financial report from The National Law Journal signals that the second half of the year may bring fresh challenges. While Q2 delivered stronger-than-expected results—thanks to record-high billing rates and counter-cyclical demand—law firms are now facing growing expenses and declining collection rates. For many, the question isn’t whether to cut costs, but how to do it in a way that protects long-term performance.
Why Cash Accounting Law Firms Lease—Even When They Have the Cash
Law firms that operate under a cash accounting model often assume leasing is only necessary when funds are tight. If there is plenty of cash on hand, why not purchase equipment outright?
Warehouse Tech Is Evolving. Here’s How Leasing Keeps You Ahead
Today’s warehouse and distribution environments are fast, connected, and increasingly intelligent. Legacy equipment can’t support the pace or precision needed to stay competitive. But upgrading forklifts, automation systems, and battery platforms isn’t cheap—and ownership is rarely the smartest path.
Planning for End-of-Life: What to Do Before Your Tech Lease Expires
Every lease has an end date, but many organizations wait too long to plan for it. Without a clear strategy, firms risk auto-renewals, outdated equipment, and unbudgeted fees. A proactive approach to lease-end planning reduces surprises and keeps operations running smoothly.
Why Leasing Works for Complex, Multi-Vendor Tech Projects
Not every technology rollout is simple. Many businesses today manage equipment purchases across departments, locations, and vendors—all with staggered timelines and shifting requirements. Trying to finance that complexity through a patchwork of leases and contracts is inefficient and risky.
