Legal Accounting Software Solution, Practice Management Software Law Society Compliant
Cashier
Correct a bill without having to go through the tortuous and time consuming process of having to reverse all of the receipts associated with it, then reverse the bill, then re-post the bill and then finally re-post the receipts.
Have the system automatically apportion fees to fee earners in proportion to the time booked. LAWFUSION also enables you to quickly and easily change these values manually for the odd occasion when a different share is required.
Correct an existing transaction and post any interest or other credits/debits that appear on your statement whilst performing a bank reconciliation. This, after all, is when most incorrect postings and other amounts not in your cashbook are first noticed.
Add useful standard descriptions and payee names to your lookup file whilst making a posting . This saves having to remember to do it later and also the time and effort of calling up a different program and then re-keying the details.
Create 'posting templates' (same concept as a document template but for a particular posting that you do regularly) and then use these to overlay onto the posting screen providing most of the detail (i.e. description, payee, amount etc) thus speeding input and eliminating posting errors.
Fee Earner
View a perfectly clean ledger without the confusion of having errors in the form of 'reversed-out' transactions appearing. Also modify the look and style of the account enquiry screen to suit your own personal preference (i.e. one/two line display, sequence of transactions, matter totals or running balance etc.).
Instantly display a 'hot' priority action list incorporating files with their credit limit approaching, files due for billing, files with overdue debts, will reviews, lease expiry dates, file destroy dates etc - with just a single click.
View the contents of a bill on-screen without having to generate printed reports and send them to the cashiers office (or vice versa) who then has to input the details again and then print again for re-checking etc.
Create clients and matters, record time, establish money laundering checks and perform conflict searching with validation and process controls provided by LAWFUSION input wizard technology. This ensures LEXCEL, LAFQAS, SAR and your own firms protocols are consistently adhered to by every fee earner.
Partners & Practice Managers
View all of the firms key performance indicators (Files opened, Files closed, Chargeable/Unchargeable Time posted, WIP, Debtors, Unbilled disbursements etc.) all broken down and grouped by the firms main business units, i.e. fee earner, work type, department, etc., on-screen at the click of a mouse.
Have the ability to dice and slice these figures comparing period and YTD against previous as required.
Then have the above information transferred into an Excel spreadsheet for final presentation or graphing, again with a single click.
Enable your firm to roll the system out quickly and at low cost to remote branches and home users using Microsoft Terminal Servers & Citrix Metaframe(r) options.
Choose a monthly rental option for the entire LAWFUSION solution (software, services and support) thus avoiding an unwanted capital outlay up front.
