LEAP celebrates 2000 UK law firms
The appetite that law firms in the UK have to embrace the cloud and leverage technology to improve their firms is best demonstrated by the fact that more than 2000 law firms in the UK and Ireland have now made the switch to LEAP. First launched in January 2015, this is the fastest uptake of new technology in UK legal software history.
John Espley, CEO of LEAP UK, says “We are incredibly proud to have reached this milestone. The speed at which firms are adopting our software is very encouraging.”
“The law firms that we visit are showing a clear desire to streamline their processes and they appreciate the important role that technology can play in helping them to achieve this. What is promising is that it shows that LEAP’s development and the direction and investment that we are putting into enhancing the product is worthwhile.”
LEAP’s continual development in creating a first-class and innovative product is the reason behind their success and rapid growth making LEAP a leading practice management software supplier in the UK.
Espley continues, “It is from listening to the support and feedback of our clients that we are able to focus development and deliver a market-leading solution that is so attuned to the needs of the legal profession.”
The choice of advanced productivity tools available within LEAP heavily contributes to the fast uptake of the software, including the LEAP App available on tablets and smartphones which provides the capability to work anywhere at any time. Users can access up-to-date documents, matter and accounting information from any mobile device. LEAP includes the UK’s largest library of automated forms, document management for the firm and clients, time recording, billing and client accounting.
Richard Hugo-Hamman, executive chairman of LEAP says: “Helping law firms to run efficiently and profitably, allowing the lawyers to focus their efforts on providing superior legal services to their clients, is all that we do. We are obsessive about it and are continually innovating new solutions to improve things for them. Successful and financially healthy law firms are essential for our communities throughout the UK. With compliance naturally woven into productivity workflows, firms using LEAP provide superior client service and the lawyers and staff enjoy practice more.”
