In this webinar, Legal IT Insider’s editor Caroline Hill chatted with Clyde and Co’s head of legal delivery and innovation, Nick Roberts, and LexisNexis Enterprise Solutions’ general manager, Andrew Lindsay, about the pair’s two-year collaboration in rolling out web-based matter management system Lexis Everyfile.
Law firms often have disparate systems, particularly those that grow by acquisition, but we’re in a world where you need better data and connected systems. Roberts discussed the challenges around reporting and the need for MI for work that is not commoditised, particularly where you run portfolios for clients.
LexisNexis started out the Everyfile journey trying to cloud-enable case management system Visualfiles but Lindsay says they began to wonder how to offer a marketplace to help clients create and measure data for more complex matters. “We didn’t want to just push out an idea and say, ‘we’ve built this,’” he says. So began the collaboration with Clyde & Co, which has had input at each stage of the journey.
Clyde & Co began rolling out Everyfile in January this year. Fee-earners are able to enter very basic information right up to complex and that can vary by department. In this webinar we look at what that means in practice, and what the long-term vision is.
