Paperless Office Solution for Legal Practices

One of the best received features of LAWFUSION solution is its Post Room. This versatile file management tool enables firms to easily and quickly manage paper based post, scanning it directly to the relevant case and Fee Earner associated with the document, resulting in a true electronic case file instantly. This again meets with the approval of many Conveyancers as it proves to answer many of their problems relating to keeping documents with the correct case.

Document and Form Assembly

The LAWFUSION Conveyancing module delivers an advanced database of documents and forms within the system as standard. With over forty standard documents and a complete forms register (Laserforms) ready to be called up and used without any effort, LAWFUSION provides a highly effective and efficient software solution.

Fee Earner Management

LAWFUSION tracks all work done on any given case file and enters the anticipated next step according to the workflow. The Fee Earner can then view exactly what needs doing on a file each day and any remaining task carried over from the previous day(s).

A Fee Earner can also view a case history from the task planner and take action such as write an email, send letter or make a phone call. There is also the functionality to reschedule tasks for completion for another day. LAWFUSION comes as standard with an overview facility; it is this facility that enables senior members of staff to monitor completed tasks or to reassign tasks to other users.

E-Conveyancing and Online Completions for Solicitors

LAWFUSION Conveyancing has a direct one-click facility that links seamlessly with all the major NLIS search providers (Searchflow, TM Property Service and TransAction Online). Integration in this way provides the Fee Earner with the ability to choose which provider to use.

The LAWFUSION system, however, goes a stage further with its two-way connection to the Searchflow system based on PISCES; the emerging standard for property related information exchange. This integration ensures that after selecting your searches the system will be updated and maintained automatically.

A comprehensive email Management solution is a fundamental tool for any modern firm and is provided directly through the LAWFUSION system. The LAWFUSION workflow, combining this with the Post Room feature solution allows any firm to realise the benefit of a paperless office.

Accounts Integration

24/7 Client Service
