<b>Product Review</b>Using Legal Files to Win Complex Trial And Appellate Cases
Spriggs & Hollingsworth has 60 lawyers who specialize in complex trial and appellate work, and we consider ourselves among the nation's leading litigation firms. As Chief Technology Officer for the firm, it is my responsibility to ensure that we provide technology solutions that focus on practice management, extranet availability and management, document discovery management, deposition management, trial presentation and preparation, document production and network infrastructure and internal computer systems. Several years ago, we began looking for a practice-management solution that would allow the firm to better manage its individual as well as complex series of cases.
After an extensive review of practice management vendors, the firm chose Legal Files as our practice-management solution. With the implementation of Legal Files, we have successfully consolidated case information, provided better case-management reporting, and enabled our lawyers to manage their cases more cost effectively and efficiently. Through the use of Legal Files, we can successfully manage multi-district litigation (MDL), gather expert information, categorize, associate and manage groupware items (e-mails, calendar events, and tasks), maintain matter-centric documents, manage deposition and evidentiary documents and produce dynamic reports for overall management of cases.
