BKR International is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Laurel, the AI Time platform built for professional services firms.
As a Strategic Partner, Laurel will collaborate with BKR on thought leadership initiatives and educational programming designed to support firm leaders navigating margin pressure, evolving pricing models, and increasing investment in AI technologies.
Laurel addresses one of the profession’s most persistent challenges: visibility into how time is actually spent. Its AI-powered platform automatically captures billable activity, drafts narratives, and builds timesheets – shifting the burden of timekeeping from the human to the machine, so professionals spend minutes rather than hours on time entry while recovering valuable billable time.
Laurel Signal is the work intelligence platform built on Laurel’s time foundation. Where Laurel captures and structures work data, Signal transforms it into firm-wide strategic intelligence – giving leadership teams actionable visibility into project profitability, cost of delivery, resource efficiency, and the measurable return on AI investment.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to ensuring BKR firms have access to forward-looking insight and practical innovation,” said Emma Barry, EMEA Regional Director. “We look forward to introducing Laurel’s expertise to our firms and supporting meaningful conversations around AI and operational visibility.”
Laurel will participate in the upcoming EMEA Conference & Tech Summit in Marrakech (13–15 June 2026), engaging directly with member firms and contributing to discussions on the evolving role of AI in professional services.
BKR member firms interested in learning more about Laurel or Signal, or exploring a BKR member-specific offering, can connect directly with Jack Hurlock at [email protected].
