Also in Ethos:
You can take our legal expertise for granted. However, in the information technology age, a law firm needs assets to properly complement and empower its legal experts.
Any modern law firm requires at least a basic level of investment in IT. At e-LITIGATE we are not satisfied with anything less than complete integration of the traditional skills of the lawyer with developments at the cutting edge of IT. We are proud of our systems' capabilities, and their positive impact on the quality of our service to clients.
From the start, we committed ourselves to running a paperless office. It may be that the truly paperless office will forever remain an elusive prospect, but our systems allow us to come close to that goal right now. We achieve this in a variety of ways. We scan all incoming mail and add this to the client's digital file. Document management software allows the complete file to be accessed on the firm's computer system. When we are away from the office, at meetings or at court, we can access our 'virtual' office from a solicitor's laptop. This means that we always have instant access to our client's files wherever we are.
The practice uses the market-leading voice recognition software to generate all documentation. This creates significant savings in terms of secretarial overheads, and these savings are reflected in the charges that we pass on to our clients.
We use and promote the use of email, as the practice's communication mode of choice. In today's business world, this is invaluable. It allows us to communicate with you and with third parties to your dispute instantly.
Our facilities include mobile email, fax and voicemail pickup, so that you will always be able to contact us wherever your business takes us. We are proud of the service benefits that our investment in IT brings our clients, and of the knowledge that this investment helps minimise the environmental impact of our practice.
