Firm Central has been created specifically with the needs of small practice owners in mind, where it’s efficient technology to drive business is crucial. Combining legal content, documents and precedents, time and billing and Outlook calendar integration.
“We understand that smaller legal practices are often challenged by lack of time and resources, in many cases “making do” with ad-hoc or out-dated practice management tools or paper-based methods,” said Boocock.
“Firm Central removes these inefficiencies, seamlessly integrating into a lawyer’s working day, helping them to operate more smartly, and improving profitability along the way.”
