Solicitors IT services

Legal

Within the legal world there are compliance standards to ensure clients data is safe and secure, in particular the 'Law Society' provides guidance in IT and data protection, in particular the increasing use of cloud services and virtualisation with regards to information security and businesss continuity

Business-Critical Applications:

Practice Management Systems

These systems typically combine front office functions like contract, case and document management with full-featured back office timekeeping, billing and accounting. The practice management system can include specific applications like case and document management, litigation support and document management.

KNL supports it legal clients and the requirement to fulfil the confidentiality and service level agreements, maintaining integrity and availability.

Typical systems supported include;

Case Management Systems

Most systems track calendar events, store client information, and generate form documents populated with case information. These applications allow legal professionals to electronically manage every aspect of the case: from client intake, through depositions and discovery, to settlement or trial. Some case management systems tie in billing and other accounting functions, or can interface with accounting software.

Litigation Support & Document Management Systems

These applications are used to build a repository of all information that is relevant to a case, including transcripts, trial presentations, pleadings and correspondence. Most systems also enable users to perform full text searching, scan images, build databases and conduct analysis.

Billing/Accounting System

These systems include real-time time/cost entry and customizable billing styles, including electronic and task-based billing. Most billing systems are fully integrated with accounting and financial management systems.

Digital Dictation

Providing a more efficient process than the traditional manual cassette tapes, it allows managed workflows to specific secretarial pools and overflow capability. Digital dictation allows simpler editing by the user and by use of mobile phones, Iphone, Android, Balckberry or Windows.  

How Downtime Affects Revenue

Practice Management System

When these applications are down, legal professionals are unable to access client and case information. Without access to critical documents and information, lawyers and paralegals are handicapped and depending on the type of downtime event, are often unable to work on cases and client matters and bill for their time.

Another risk of downtime is that legal professionals will miss critical dates in the litigation and filing process, or miss depositions and court dates. Not only are these lost opportunities to bill for their time, but law firms could be sued by their clients for malpractice.

Billing System

When the billing system is down, legal professionals have to track and document everything manually. The danger here is that errors are made and it is possible that firms will not be paid for all the hours worked. As a rule of thumb, it is generally accepted that up to 20% of billable hours go unbilled when attorneys have to rely on manual tracking.
