Press Release - Best of all Breeds – Linetime win major deal with Top 200 Firm
22nd February 2007
This years Legal IT Show saw the signing of a significant new deal between Linetime and one of the country’s top 200 law firms, Canter Levin & Berg of Liverpool.
Building upon their existing Liberate Practice Management System, Canter Levin & Berg has invested in a full 200+ user Liberate Case Management solution.
The primary reason for moving from their existing software supplier was to significantly improve the efficiency and profitability of their Personal Injury and other private client departments through the merging of all their accounting and case management activities within the one Liberate SQL database.
Canter Levin & Berg is a large firm of Solicitors based in Merseyside with 17 partners and over 200 staff based in four offices in: Liverpool, St Helens, Kirkby and Skelmersdale.
The firm provides clients with a wide range of legal services including road traffic and other accident claims as well as criminal and family matters. It also offers expert advice on employment law, conveyancing and other private client services as well as a range of specialised services for businesses.
A combination of high standards a friendly service and competitive pricing is the firm’s hallmark, along with a commitment to implement the very best in modern technology for the benefit of their clients, including an innovative range of online services.
Dominic Corr – IT Manager, Canter Levin & Berg was quoted as saying, “In 2005 we sought to upgrade our Accounts software to a 32bit system. Following detailed exploration of the marketplace we opted to invest in Liberate as we were satisfied that this best complemented a practice of our diversity. After a smooth conversion and implementation, we found the system exceeded our accounting requirements and offered a de facto management tool. The obvious next step was to look at the Linetime Case Management System (CMS) to enable streamlining of our business processes.
“Despite heavy investment in our existing CMS we were struck by the superiority of the Linetime system in its ease of use, capacity and capability. Therefore the decision to change systems was easy. There is no doubt that the convergence of these systems will enhance our Practice Management and efficiency, allowing us to provide even higher service levels for the benefit of both our clients and business partners.”
Phil Snee – Linetime’s Development Director commented, “Our company strategy and the philosophy behind the Liberate product suite has always been to maximise the obvious benefits of providing a truly combined case and practice management system. This policy is proving increasingly popular with customers, large and small. Even something as simple as ensuring there is only one client record can be a huge advantage, particularly to a forward looking practice. Not only does this avoid re-keying (and associated errors) it means our customers have a fixed and reliable database for use in their marketing, conflict checks, money laundering and so forth.
“We believe that the case and practice management facilities within Liberate are strong in their own right but together they provide a “best of all breeds solution”.
Linetime Managing Director Tony Klejnow commented “We are obviously delighted to announce this new association with such a prestigious law firm as Canter Levin & Berg and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.”
