Legal correspondence such as letters, emails even SMS text messages flow regularly between fee earners and their clients on a daily basis for today’s modern Practice.   LAWFUSION captures all formats as well as the file attachments that come with correspondence.

All correspondence types are stored neatly and accurately, side-by-side in the case records making them easily accessible to members of staff with the relevant user rights.  The system is highly integrated with the Microsoft Office so that users can send documents of any type to Courts, agents and other relevant parties quickly and easily. LAWFUSION provides an Outlook ‘add to case’ button making it slick and easy for users to save emails correctly.

Throughout the system relevant legal forms are available for the many different areas of law its modules cater for.  Many of the forms are set up to be auto-produced, coded into the workflow procedures, to ensure the right forms are produced at the right time with the correct values.

The LAWFUSION Court Bundle Generator takes all the stress out of bundle creation.  The module supports automatic page numbering, automatic contents page creation and easy drag and drop functionality. Users are given a bundle template to which they can add files and documents as they are preparing for court. When happy with the bundle it is saved as a PDF to the case ready for the court appearance. More Information>

Version control functionality comes as standard with LAWFUSION, different drafts and versions of a document can be managed automatically by the software without overwriting or losing any of the versions. The software tracks a series of draft documents, culminating in a final version, and it provides a full audit trail of the life of the document, recording all revisions through to the final version.

The LAWFUSION Out-Tray displays the most recent version, but a simple tick of a check-box displays all versions. A further click brings up the ‘revision history’ screen which shows all versions created, date and time stamped with user created name too. There is also functionality to compare two versions of the same Word document on screen side by side in LAWFUSION.

Law firms can adopt their pre-determined corporate identity including layout, style and font etc. when creating documents in LAWFUSION.  This of course is key for firms that wish to achieve a consistency across all Practice documentation and a professional finish.
