Because much conveyancing work these days is fixed fee many law firms choose not to time record within their conveyancing department. However, some LAWFUSION users find it very useful. Time recording in LAWFUSION is so flexible and user-friendly much of it is done in the background without impacting on the fee earner at all. Firms often use time recording in LAWFUSION as a measure of profitability for their conveyancing cases, producing regular reports on this work type to help them keep this under close scrutiny.
The conveyancing module offers robust functionality to ensure all communcations are saved to the relevant case and can be retrieved quickly and easily by fee earners. There is powerful integration to Outlook and other Microsoft products. The SMS text messaging functionality that comes as standard with LAWFUSION allows users to send ad hoc texts from within cases or bulk texts to a group of people. Users can also schedule pre-defined texts for delivery at a later time/date. There is access to all UK networks from LAWFUSION for text messaging as well as international coverage.
For example within the LAWFUSION conveyancing workflow steps users will find the Law Society Transaction forms (industry standard) and for purchases it will produce the 5th edition contract and memo of exchange.
Also Laserforms are included for commercial leases and commercial sale agreement in the commercial property workflow.
Land Registry forms are included with the LAWFUSION Conveyancing Module too.
All online and paper-based searches are handled, pre-exchange procedures, exchange of contracts, completion statements and bills as well as post completion and final searches.
The module makes sure all of this and more is carried out correctly and at the right time.
Using a third-party tool, the LAWFUSION developers have added ‘send securely’ button to Outlook allowing firms to encrypt email communications and attachments sent by their staff.
For extra security the developers have also added an interface that monitors and encrypts incoming emails before releasing them to the intended inhouse recipient.
