Legal technology has progressed exponentially in recent years. What previously was a slow burn of innovation and uptake has boomed into not only an expectation, but a necessity. A new generation of lawyers, as well as the lockdowns of previous years, have encouraged the implementation of technology within law firms.
A recent survey found that 81% of lawyers considered making processes more efficient, a more valuable way of working. Not only does legal technology increase business efficiency, but it also allows for successful remote working, saves time, and reduces administration. Implementing smart automation technology within your firm allows you to dedicate more time to building and maintaining client relationships, which can lead to business growth and longevity.
Benefits of automation
Minimisation of error
When operating manually, errors are inevitable, especially when data entry is concerned. Implementing automation technology that eliminates manual data entry can save your firm time and money. Reduce time spent on administration and correcting errors and avoid any additional costs that may be associated with rectifying such errors.
Time saving
One of the most notable benefits of automation technology is that it saves your valuable time. Automation technology can reduce your manual workload and administrative tasks, allowing you to service your clients faster and with more efficiency.
In an age where information is at everyone’s fingertips, your clients expect fast results. Automating administrative tasks allows you to service clients in a way that is quicker, simpler and more efficient.
Business growth
With less time spent on administration and manual tasks, you can spend more time building relationships with your clients. Fostering positive relationships with your clients is essential for business growth and longevity. Not only are happy clients repeat clients, but they are also a source of business referral and expansion.
How your firm can implement automation
A simple yet effective way to implement automation in your firm is to integrate your Practice Management System (PMS) with a search provider. As the only integrated search provider in New Zealand, InfoTrack allows you to perform property searches and order council certificates for your matters, all in one place.
Integrating your PMS with InfoTrack can boost your firm’s productivity by reducing administrative tasks such as data entry and search ordering. Matter information and search results automatically flow between the systems and allow for the quick and seamless ordering of searches. In fact, InfoTrack’s system allows you to order multiple searches at once, and automatically returns searches into their respective matters, with costs captured for disbursement. This significantly reduces the amount of time needed to be spent on data entry and other manual tasks.
