"Having to search for related documents can be very time consuming"

Alicia, Client Support

The challenges

Law Partners currently rely on an out dated, often broken software application to manage their practice groups…it does not offer scale, without expensive development time (the firm has grown significantly) cannot be easily customised or provide visibility of the progress of case matters. Critical case file information is not linked resulting in users having to group files manually.

The solution

A scalable, easily customised, matter management application, that provides the user a at-a-glance snapshot of the progress of the case file from initial conference to to successful outcome. Using the established card UI pattern, Senior Solicitorx will be able to assign tasks to individual users, and receive confirmation of their conclusion. It will allow for all related documents to be assigned to the individual file and provide search functionality for the case file numbers

What I learned

You often get better, usable insights from the juniors as opposed to their seniors. This is not a slight, but often I observed those who were using the software on a day-to-day basis, were using hacks and work around to perform day-to-day tasks. They often had mental lists of pain points, built up over time that they would like to fix, something that their managers who apply a less macro approach, would never encounter.
