Tough economic times demand Legal Files
August 21, 2008
To stay competitive in today's challenging environment,
legal professionals are turning to Legal Files case and matter
management system with increasing frequency. Implementing new
technologies during a downturned economy can save companies and
law firms more than just capital.
“Our customers traditionally have purchased Legal Files
to help make their staff more productive, but now it’s become
apparent how much Legal Files can help cut costs and increase
efficiency. Legal Files helps our customers remain profitable
in a bearish economy—without adding staff members or additional
hours,” said John Kanoski, chief executive officer of Legal
Files Software, Inc.
Given the economic downturn, it would not have been surprising
for Legal Files Software, Inc. to experience the same kind of
downturn. However, the exact opposite has taken place, Kanoski
said. While there is still the initial investment of time and
money with any matter management system, Legal Files provides
its clients a substantial return on investments in weeks, not
months or years. And, he said, its value increases every year
it’s in use.
“In the last year or so, most of our new Legal Files customers
have expressed that, with this economy, they need to take full
advantage of every technological advancement that is available
to them,” Kanoski said.
“People aren’t career employees any more,” according
to Chris Myers, systems administrator with Locks Law Firm, which
has offices in Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. “We
have people moving into different roles all the time and that
can cause a problem,” he said, especially with nothing but
a manual process in place. “Every time a new secretary would
come into the firm, she’d have a mound of stuff to sift
through. It was a time-consuming process trying to determine things
such as, when did that letter go out, who was called or who hadn’t
been called. It was an ongoing concern,” he said.
“Now with Legal Files, you don’t need a Rosetta Stone
to come up to speed,” Myers said. “You log into Legal
Files, pick up right where the other person left off and get on
with it. The workload is there, but unless the stuff is organized,
it can become a runaway train. Legal Files centralizes it all
for us, and everyone is working off the same program.”
