Information  Site Map  Contact

The Openlaw litigation software is a shared electronic case notebook and toolset, which can be used in three main ways

for Disclosure - for non-technical fee earners doing simple lists (includes imaging)

for Listing - the same as Disclosure, but with no imaging or handling of electronic documents

for advanced users - for those with advanced requirements (includes imaging).

Openlaw runs on laptops, workstations, networks and across the web, in a web browser.

Openlaw is easy to install without any technical help (usually done by download from our web site).

 

Openlaw  Benefits:

·                      the quickest and most economical way to produce simple Disclosure Lists

·                      these can grow into full-featured data mines for those cases which warrant this

·                      priced by the matter on a scale which reflects the number of documents

·                      portable and designed to encourage exchange of data between parties

Openlaw will earn its keep on small matters which do not run beyond Disclosure, whilst having all the functions required for more detailed or larger-scale forensic litigation.

Methodology

Ease of use

Practicalities

Address CPR realities - short deadlines, tight timetables and restricted costs

Import client document information rather than re-type it

Exchange data with opponents and others in agreed formats

Share the benefits with the client, counsel and experts, witnesses and the Court

Take it all home, to court, or to the client, on a laptop

Efficiencies

Apply the appropriate skill levels to each stage

Do the work in-house or send it out to a specialist service provider

A specialist service provider will charge less than it costs you to scan and code documents

The costs are proportionate to the size of the case

Our involvement can be zero or we can be part of your team, as you wish

Impressions

Bigger clients now assume that their lawyers use technology for labour-intensive tasks

Gain an edge over opponents who are not as well equipped

Attract the better staff, both professional and secretarial, who now expect this level of technology

….than any other means of producing simple lists of documents by non-technical staff in small firms

…. with the features which experienced staff in large firms require for large data mining exercises.

….whatever the size of firm or case and whether the case settles after Disclosure or runs to trial and beyond
