Hartford-based Robinson & Cole LLP has selected Aderant Expert as the firm’s new practice management system. The 240 attorney firm – which was previously one of the largest users of RainMaker Software's accounts system – evaluated various solutions before selecting Aderant.
Among other things, Robinson & Cole expects to streamline its billing process and reduce the amount of time it takes to process and submit bills. Additionally, the firm will leverage Aderant Expert’s e-billing capabilities to more effectively manage the approximately 500 e-bills it transmits each month. Currently, the firm spends days of staff time each month to manually edit and process e-bills.

July issue of Legal Technology Insider (UK/EMEA) out now

The July issue of the Legal Technology Insider newsletter (UK & EMEA edition) is out now. Digital copies are already on desktops and the print edition in the post. Top stories include...
- Eclipse wins top 30 site - SOS clean up the West - Shoosmiths go with SAP - Saturn 27 has near death experience - Exigent & Pinsent Masons in LPO deal - Tikit Word Day - don't fear the ribbon - All July's big wins and deals We also have a new survey – details below. Our next issue is out in September – and can PR consultants stop crying down our phone just because we didn't have space for their stories. The Survey: cost recovery policies uncovered Most firms recover certain costs from clients, such as for photocopying, but partners are often nervous about upsetting clients by what may seem penny-pinching measures. This can lead to inconsistent policies on cost recovery across departments, and even between different partners within the same department. To try to understand these issues better and analyse trends around cost recovery, Legal Technology Insider and NewField IT, an independent print and document management consultancy, have created a new online survey that can be accessed at www.newfieldit.com/surveys/legal/index.html • Everyone completing the survey will receive a free report providing a detailed analysis of the results. Note: no published data will identify individuals or firms. A summary of the results will also be published in a future issue of the Insider + on the Orange Rag blog

LexisNexis today announced that Manchester-based Consumer Credit Litigation Solicitors (CCLS) has chosen to deploy the Visualfiles case management system. Selected in a tendering process, Visualfiles is currently being deployed on over 100 desktops across CCLS’ offices in Manchester and Newark. The firm says it chose Visualfiles for its web functionality, product quality, flexibility and customisability. 'In addition, CCLS was impressed with the system’s ability to support CCLS’ business growth aspirations and LexisNexis’ long term product development roadmap for this solution.'
Visualfiles will automate the firm’s business processes – from case inception through to closure – facilitating more effective and faster handling of cases and matters. CCLS provides legal advice and representation on consumer credit litigation matters where the financial contracts are flawed, invalid or unenforceable. This includes high volume legal areas such as car finance, unsecured loans and mortgages, and credit cards. Visualfiles also offers portal-based access to the case management system. CCLS will be able to set up an extranet to allow its case handlers and team of external legal advisors to share information and updates on case matters in real-time. Tuesday, July 21
