Ward Hadaway’s dispute resolution team has selected Liberate from Linetime to support its debt recovery work. The 470 staff and 90 partner firm is a major player in the North of England. Key factors in the selection of Liberate included its integration with the firm’s iManage document management system and the pre-built interface to The Secure Data Transfer – a secure system to enable customers to upload and transfer data files directly to the HM Courts & Tribunals Service systems. The firm also liked teh fact that Liberate is a specialist and purpose-built debt recovery system as opposed to a generic case management system modified for the purpose.
