Plus all the relevant template letters for client and lender are available to make life very easy for fee earners.

Premiums, Claim & Refund

Solicitor-to-Client Correspondence

The financial mis-selling module offers robust functionality to ensure all communications 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. SMS text messaging functionality comes as standard with LAWFUSION allowing users to send ad hoc texts from their LAWFUSION desktop or bulk texts to a group of people. Users can also set up text messaging as part of a workflow chart.
