Practice Management news

Thirsk Winton has selected Linetime’s Liberate solution as its firm wide practice management system. Headquartered in Woodford Green with another office in Mayfair, Thirsk Winton is a modern, innovative law firm offering a range of commercial and private client services with a focus on property related work.

An office move has prompted central Scotland law firm Russel + Aitken to upgrade to integrated practice and matter management with SOS Connect from Solicitors Own Software.

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.

The full-service law firm employs in excess of 200 people and serves East, South and West Wales through a network of nine regional offices, providing a wide range of traditional and niche legal services.

The legal software market is amidst a period of change and consolidation. Previously, most Law Technology suppliers tended to be owner-managed businesses. However, today’s landscape is very different, with a good number being bought up by larger Venture Capitalist-backed businesses looking to consolidate the market and drive product development with greater access to new technology. This focus on a dramatically reduced number of ‘go-forward’ products has created inevitable threats to existing solutions in use across many firms.
