Top Law Practice Case Management Software for Your Firm

How many hours are lost at your law firm every day by repeating processes over and over? Or trying to keep track of leads and prospects? At the end of yet another week or month, you may find that you have, once again, spent too much time on admin tasks and not enough practicing law.

Much of this is time for which you will never be paid. According to the Thomson Reuters' State of U.S. Small Law Firms study, that means that, out of a 10-hour day, you will have, at best, 6 hours for which you might get paid. If your law firm wants to remain competitive, adopting new technology is an inevitability. By implementing law firm management software, you can usher in a new generation of growth and profitability.

Yet the multitude of available software programs can seem overwhelming, and in some cases, something to fight against. It shouldn't be. Here we present ten of the best and most effective law firm software - including our own Atraxia Intake Management System - and highlight their features.

Let's dive in.
