It is also very easy to create your own workflows and modify existing workflows.
Relevant information from other areas of the system can be pulled through and presented in the conveyancing module.
Like all LAWFUSION modules, the Conveyancing Module also offers sophisticated integration to all the Microsoft Office and Exchange products.
Your clients can get their answers quickly and easily via a secure internet connection without having to contact you directly, saving valuable time on both sides. The success of the service is a result of the unparalleled flexibility provided by LAWFUSION’s powerful workflow engine which is highly customisable. As each matter is progressed details of changes are published to the case tracker portal making it available through any Web browser. The online tool can also be made available to estate agents, mortgage lenders and introducers.
Select Legal also supports LMS (Legal Marketing Services) – STARS – an alternative to the LAWFUSION Case Tracker.
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. Text messaging can be set up as part of a LAWFUSION workflow chart.
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.
