Case Management Benefits for Solicitors

The LAWFUSION™ Case Management solution provides the following benefits:

• An exceptionally high level of automation, particularly in areas such as administrative work, where firms see an increase in productivity and reduced costs. Tasks are performed to exacting quality standards and specific timescales, which enables the firm to become a member of many panels who require a minimum service level.
• LAWFUSION™ offers excellent 'de-risking' and Knowledge Management facilities eliminating any chance of anything being overlooked or done out of sequence. As a result Professional Indemnity premiums are significantly reduced.
• The flexibility of the software provides an immediate ability to reduce costs or increase cover elsewhere by the redeployment of resources, if required for any Legal Practice wanting to implement a Case or Practice Management Solution.
• LAWFUSION™ provides Legal firms with the capacity to increase workloads without incurring any addition to staff numbers or costs.
• The software helps a Legal Practice to maintain a consistently high level of service whilst at the same time increasing the volume of the work produced.

LAWFUSION™ - Legal Case Management Solution

• Delivers powerful Case Management and professional service automation systems for every organisation, department or work type.
• Have confidence in a legal software solution that is in use by 1300 users for Conveyancing, PI, Matrimonial, Debt, Probate, Insurance and many other types of work.
• Provides a powerful workflow engine that enables you to save time and costs by automating key administrative work i.e. letter and document creation. It also removes the risks i.e. limitation date, checks before exchange etc.
• Special 'chase' mode makes sure any prompt recurs continually until cleared i.e. chase search fees, chase title deeds.
• One-click letter and document production saves a huge amount of dictation and secretarial time.
• Documents can be printed, faxed or e-mailed using PDF integration automatically to the relevant party (requires compatible fax/e-mail server).
• 'In-tray' will enable you to allocate scanned documents via the LAWFUSION™ Postroom solution and e-mails to each case for an 'all-in-one' view of the entire case.
• Task planner monitors all outstanding activities and informs all individuals of outstanding actions. This stops files lingering and reduces WIP.
• Case Tracking with progress reports are available to clients and 3rd parties (i.e. estate agents, introducers) on the Internet.
• A centralised shared name and address file means all addresses, i.e. solicitor, agent, hospital etc., are only ever entered onto the system once. When a change is needed this only has to be done once and this will take effect in all files.
• Comprehensive reporting suite highlights specific actions, general issues and trends so that strategic decisions can be made.

Our Matter Management Solution

Many Case Management implementations fail to deliver the benefits expected because the firm is not compatible with the changes required and/or the computerisation of the departments work.

• Automatic generation and printing of standard letters and documents. Even letters that are non-standard can benefit from being started automatically with all of the clients' information and references already setup.
• A document management and naming standard that is applied throughout will keep all electronic documents correctly named and indexed in the correct folder so that they are instantly accessible to anyone that needs them.
• Professional enquiry facilities through a single case enquiry screen for all files presents a high quality client facing operation no matter who picks up the phone.
• Reporting facilities to highlight exceptions and trends provides a more effective decision making process and the ability to predict problems before they occur, i.e. de-risking.

Our Online Case Tracking Solution

Our online Case Tracking Solution is intended for the client or 3rd parties detailing how their case(s) are progressing, e.g. steps taken, when and by whom, actions outstanding with completion dates etc. This report can be accessed in a secure manner over the Internet at any time of day or night.

• Keeps clients & 3rd parties informed of progress over the Internet - LAWFUSION™ Case Tracker.
• No expensive 'in-house' web-server or technical expertise is needed.
• Reduces disruptions and the time lost by a Fee Earner from incoming calls.
• Access is completely secure using both a user login name and password.
• The report includes key steps, future actions and messages.
• The firm can specify exactly which steps and actions to be incorporated in the client web report.
• The report can include any billing or time recording information if required.
• The final look and feel can be tailored to complement your firms' corporate style.

System Designer

Each administrative process, e.g. creating a letter, scheduling reminders, collecting information, checking a step is in sequence etc., has been encapsulated into a single business 'object'. A system is designed by using these objects to build a fully working system in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks.

• Create your own workflows, document production and knowledge management features within LAWFUSION™.
• When used throughout an organisation the system delivers a consistent look and feel which aids rapid familiarisation.
• Build in your own procedures, quality checks, letters and documents using pre-defined 'business-objects' for all administrative and procedural processes.
• A simple 4 stage process will enable any departmental system to be replicated and automated.
1. Create your document library using existing documents.
2. Create your database from your question list.
3. Enter your workflow and reminders points.
4. Deploy your system using LAWFUSION™ Case Management

Report Writer

Producing management level information across all of your areas of work is made simple with a 'user-defined' reporting system.

• Create your own exception reports using an intuitive Windows based report designer.
• Reports can be given a name and stored in the report library to be run over and over again.
• Specify the exact conditions for your report using any of the information within the Case Management system including the following examples:
1. Steps in the workflow that have or have not been progressed, e.g. all cases where 'liability has not been accepted'.
2. Where reminders exist for a specific step on a specific date, e.g. all cases where completion date is next week.
3. Where the case file contains a specific piece of information, e.g. where property price is over £250,000.
4. Where a specific address is associated with a case e.g. where the estate agent involved is H Wilson Estate Agents.
• All conditions can be added together to form a powerful and very specific exception reporting tool.
• Print time options allow you to specify grouping, sorting and page break controls to aid management of the report, e.g. group by partner, sort by case number, page break at change of partner.
