Family Law

Legis provides the most intuitive and effective case management tool available today. The Family module comes with a comprehensive range of standard forms and features that will enable your firm to speed through the daily workload. Should you have any special requirements, Legis can be rapidly tailored to an unprecedented level. Users can easily select the type of matter, such as Adoption, Civil Partnership, Divorce, Divorce and Financial Order, Domestic Violence, Financial Order or Pre-Marital Agreement. The system allows for full tracking of all Assets and Liabilities, Fees and Disbursements. The integrated Court database is fully populated with all Court address details.

A fast and effortless inception process allows you to enter as much or as little information as you have available. Changing or adding to this data at any future point is simple and allows rapid customisation of your client’s requirements, while automatic checks reduce or eliminates costly mistakes.

Can be recorded and flagged as either estimates or real value; either agreed or disagreed. The information can then feed into the fully integrated Laserforms.

Full tracking of all disbursements and fees is a major feature. Individual entries can be flagged as ‘Paid’, ‘Unpaid’ or ‘To be paid’. Financial control is maintained through special billing processes enabling you to keep accurate track of the financial position of the matter. Report to Excel or Word.

Document management and production under Legis is so easy. Document content can be built intelligently by rules fed into the system. Single letters or indeed whole bundles of documents are produced and stored for you effortlessly. The resultant output is printed, emailed, faxed etc. as required. You can also decide if you want all your incoming documents, whether by letter, email, or fax, stored within Legis. Significant cost and efficiency benefits can be made in having all the information for each matter completely organised and ready for you to deal with the next step; often by little more than selecting from a few options. Making complex tasks simple is what makes Legis special; speeding throughput, improving accuracy and reducing overheads.

Incorporated within all Legis applications are a wide range of facilities to report on information held within the system. Additional reports can be customised to meet individual requirements speedily. Reports can be printed, sent to Word, Excel etc. as required.

Legis not only supplies a comprehensive on-line context sensitive help system, but it can be easily extended to include guidance on legal processes, in house policies, and procedures for training new staff. This process can be under the control of your own support team. 

Legis is fully integrated with Laserform (and supports viewing Oyez). Forms can be filled in automatically using the information recorded in Legis and leaves little need, if any, for final editing. Completed forms are stored for rapid future retrieval and adjustment.

LegisSQL is integrated with Outlook so emails can be both received and sent from within the case management system. Our advanced interface ensures all incoming emails are stored with the matter it refers to whilst document attachments are extracted and stored automatically for instant perusal. Outgoing emails are quickly prepared for you by the system and any documents you may want to send are easy to find and attach. The Legis Family module allows SMS messages to be generated and sent manually or automatically from the running of certain tasks.

Legis has a powerful built-in ability to allocate time to all Fee Earners working on their files. Specific charge rates may be dependent on Fee Earner experience/type of claim. Integration with your PMS is an option.
