How technology can reduce risk and time waste

Among the legal community there is constant talk of technology. Whether it鈥檚 the fear of new legal tech or how you should be using it to enhance your firm, it鈥檚 clear that the ever-evolving world of technology is something lawyers need to tackle.

When looking at some of the potential advantages of new technologies one of the most beneficial that comes to mind is streamlining your work flow, such as enabling access to the multitude of legal forms you need through your firm鈥檚 case management system (CMS). Practitioners are time poor and need to be more efficient. Finding the forms needed can be very time consuming and you can鈥檛 always be sure the forms you find are the most up to date.

In a new, unique partnership, 老司机午夜福利 and leading UK case management software, Osprey Approach, have teamed up to enable its customers to access more than 4,000 continuously monitored and updated forms with LexisSmart Forms.

The new partnership will see Osprey鈥檚 developer, independent software provider Pracctice Limited, integrate its cloud-based case management software with LexisSmart Forms.

What are LexisSmart Forms?

LexisSmart Forms provide the latest key forms that legal practitioners need, from Form E (Family) and IHT400, through to N260 and the LPA suite. They contain embedded guidance notes and court addresses, enabling firms to complete and share forms easily and efficiently.

Increasing efficiencies and productivity

Dani McCormick, Director of Solutions, 老司机午夜福利, said: 鈥淲e鈥檙e very excited about the increased efficiencies and productivity our partnership with Osprey Approach can deliver to the market.鈥

She highlights how 鈥減ractitioners often tell us they are time poor and need to be more efficient. They fill in and amend forms regularly and it can be time-consuming.鈥 As forms are a 鈥渃ritical step in the process (get them wrong and your firm鈥檚 workflow can be impacted and your firm鈥檚 reputation damaged)鈥, LexisSmart forms can help you gain the confidence that the right forms are being used and completed correctly.

McCormick notes that the new partnership with Osprey 鈥渆nables practitioners to quickly access the forms they need within their case management system and pull in data from their client and dossier areas to ensure consistency and deliver greater, much needed, workflow efficiencies.鈥

Easy access to forms while working remotely

Craig Matthews, CEO of Pracctice, noted that they 鈥渋dentified the need for a cloud-based forms solution so that our customers are able to access them easily whilst working remotely and within our suite of mobile apps. Following months of rigorous testing, we鈥檙e really happy with the results and we鈥檙e delighted that Osprey鈥檚 customers are now able to realise the benefits of LexisSmart Forms.鈥

He went on to say: 鈥淲e are really impressed by how easy LexisSmart Forms are to fill in, reducing easily avoidable errors. They painlessly maintain the integration of the latest forms and fields within Osprey. This makes them easy to open and complete, without the need for specialist software or training.鈥
