Legal technology explained - download free white papers

Free legal technology fundamentals toolkit

Are you new to the world of legal IT? Or perhaps you need to explain legal software to a non-technical audience? My Legal Technology Fundamentals Toolkit explains the specialised applications used by solicitors and professional service firms. The toolkit consists of a series of white papers that are written in plain English and jargon-free. Each introductory guide sets out the key features and benefits of the major legal technology solutions.

If you're a Senior Partner, Managing Partner, IT Partner or Finance Director my toolkit will help you cut through technical jargon and sales hype. You'll find out what the different legal IT systems can do for your business, and the important questions that you should be asking potential suppliers and your IT department.

If you're an IT Director, IT Manager or Project Manager, you'll save time explaining the role of each legal IT system and why the business needs it. Use my toolkit to help you prepare executive briefings, project proposals, project plans and important procurement documents such as the Request For Information (RFI), Request For Proposals (RFP) and Invitation To Tender (ITT).

My free toolkit covers the following subjects:

Practice Management Systems - if you want to improve your firm's billing, profitability or financial management, read this document! Topics include Clients, Matters, Time Recording, Billing, Cash Collection, Financial Management, Management Reporting and Fee-earner Enquiry systems.
Document Management Systems - if your firm deals with large volumes of complex documents, this document will show you how to get your paper mountain under control and work more effectively. Topics include Document Production, Document Storage, Document Retrieval and how to decide whether you need a Document Management, Case Management or Document Assembly System.
More great subjects to come... including Case Management Systems, Digital Dictation Systems, Document Assembly Systems, Client Relationship Management Systems, Litigation Support Systems, Cost Recovery Systems, Knowledge Management Systems, Legal Intranets and Portals, Legal Information Products and Email Management soultions.
Sign up today and you'll get free access to each new topic as soon as it becomes available!

That's not all:

There's a lot more to successful projects than writing a great proposal. You'll get my free eZine "Professional Technology", packed with practical ideas, information and insights about getting the most out of technology in professional businesses.

A must read whether you're in IT management, project management or a solicitor, barrister, accountant or you work in any other professional or service business. You'll get valuable free advice and learn more about using IT to help your team to work more effectively.

Every edition gives you a new angle on finding out what people want from technology and how you can help them to get it. I'll also keep you informed of updates to this toolkit as well as new products and services that I offer.

Of course it can be time consuming, confusing and difficult to find the right system and supplier, especially if you aren't an IT specialist or you don't have experience of a particular area of legal IT. As a former IT Director of a top 50 firm of UK solicitors and a specialist legal technology consultant, I can help you decide what you really need, find the right supplier, negotiate a great deal and implement your project succesfully!.

If you need help procuring or implementing a legal new IT system, or simply want to get more out of an existing one, feel free to get in touch for an informal discussion or a free executive briefing covering the important facts in your area of need.

Kind Regards,

Ian Lauwerys
