Take advantage of mobile work
Whether you're at your desk or on the way to a client meeting, you need complete access to all of your documents and matter information.
With recent changes to work practices and technology, why should your law office still be stuck in the dark ages? That is to say, why conduct business like the last several decades of technology improvements haven't happened?
While some lawyers will always feel there is a place for paper at the office, so much of what you spend your time doing behind a desk can now be done digitally and in-fact, not from behind a desk. It's time for you and your practice to invest in intelligent web-based legal software. Having a simple solution to matter management issues such as storage of documents and correspondence with other parties can save a great deal of time and improve your efficiency. As an example, let's look at mattero and how its intuitive systems can help you practice law no matter where you are.
For starters, mattero helps consolidate many different aspects of your legal practice into a single platform. To-do's, file notes, documents and correspondence are all easily accessible from the central dashboards in the home screen, allowing you to keep everything in one place and reduce the time spent searching for matter-related information.
But what does this have to do with breaking free from your desk? Well quite a lot actually. One of the key benefits of web-based software is the ability to work from wherever you want. If you have an internet connection, you have an office. That's not to say you can browse your documents and that's it; everything that you can do on your computer you can do from your mobile device.
If you're working away from your desk you need ways to manage your financials to ensure you're billing for the time you're working. With a web-based legal software like mattero you can time record, keep track of the billable hours worked on for a matter or generate an invoice through Xero while on the go. Our simple Trust Accounting feature will even makes it so you can complete Trust Transactions while waiting for your coffee to arrive.
Generating documents is a major time saver for legal practices. In addition to invoices, mattero allows users to create various other legal documents from scratch or with preloaded/user-made templates. Instead of wasting time retyping the same forms over and over again, you can store important forms as templates. mattero integrates with Microsoft office, so you can edit these documents in Word from within the software. Say you're away from your normal workspace and want to get a document finalised and sent to a client, just access the template you need, fill out the necessary areas and send it straight from the matter with mattero's integration with Outlook.
Digital solutions for modern problems should be a key focus for you in your practice. To reiterate, you no longer need to be behind a desk in order to work when you use mattero. Using a web-based legal software to access your information lets you work on your matters on any device, anywhere at any time. Your desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone can all become tools in your legal arsenal.
Don't delay bringing your legal practice into the modern era with central access to matter-information, correspondence, billing and trust management, whether you're working from your desk or on the run.
