Benefits

 

 

Rely on HeadsUp to keep you current.
Your inbox for everything, HeadsUp is a real lifesaver. HeadsUp acts as a personal assistant, organizing everything—everything that you need to have a successful day. Important deadlines for any case and timely incoming messages—whether e-mail or telephone—are automatically displayed in your HeadsUp.

Monitor expenses and budgets.
Whether you need to track and report your expenses or someone else's, Legal Files can do it. Want to know from a budgetary standpoint, where you're at? Legal Files tells you.

Assemble and manage all your documents.
Eliminate the need to retype the same documents. Create a template once, then use it again and again in different matters. Or automatically generate a new document, merging the template and any data fields you choose. Conveniently stored and cataloged in the matter they reference, documents are easy to retrieve. Search by document name, document number or document type. Legal Files also offers full text searching. With our document management features, you have—at your fingertips—every document anyone has ever created in or copied into your Legal Files software.

Monitor outside resources.
Legal Files makes it easy to track the activity of your outside counsel. Be copied on every document your outside counsel creates. Once scanned, the document can be attached to your matter/file in Legal Files.

Manage outside dockets or court calls.
Want to know certain dates or arrange your schedule to attend court? You can view calendar items for each matter. All features—e-mail, mail logs, phone logs, calendars and to-do's—interact to automatically create a diary of events for each matter, providing single-point access to the information you need.

Manage that e-mail mess!
Do you need to find important e-mail? Link e-mail to a matter? Share your e-mail with others? With Legal Files, you can easily manage all your e-mail, directly linking important matter-related messages (with attachments) to your matter or file, creating one place where all matter-related communication is stored. One place for everything … that’s Legal Files.

Customize easily.
You can tailor windows or menus for different offices and locations or different types of matters. Because you determine the look and the language that are meaningful to your office, your Legal Files custom windows contain the exact information you want. And, it's easy. Designed for non-technical people, no programming ability is required.
