BEST SYSTEM FOR EXPANDING LAW FIRM
12th February 2003
General legal practice Clarksons and Steele has re-affirmed its faith in Linetime Limited by upgrading its hardware and existing Linetime software to the Liberate integrated software system with the latest thin-client technology.
The Halifax-based, six-partner firm of Clarksons and Steele specialises in providing an all round legal service to both commercial and private clients in such areas as personal injury, probate, family, general litigation, company and conveyancing law.
Six years ago the practice commissioned Linetime to install Dataflow and Feestyle software in all departments and, in order to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in technology, Clarksons and Steele have now taken the decision to upgrade to Liberate.
Ali Siddique, a partner within the practice, commented: "Since our involvement with Linetime began in the eighties we have always enjoyed a good relationship with the company and have found them to be professional and helpful at all times. When we decided to upgrade our software systems it was therefore inconceivable that we would look to another software provider. Obviously, one of the other reasons for choosing Linetime again was because it would make the data conversion much simpler. In our opinion, Liberate is the best system available at present for a forward-thinking practice such as ours."
"Liberate is user-friendly and it allows parameters to be changed easily in order to suit the firm’s needs. Its integrated case management, fee earner desktop and accounting modules should provide the powerful marketing database which we now require."
Mr Siddique continued: "We also have the advantage of thin-client technology, as Liberate will be run by central servers, eliminating the need for expensive future upgrades of desktop PC’s.
