Technology helps in monitoring legal processes
The legal market has changed a lot over the last years and the main responsible for these changes is information technology, which today offers solutions in automation, such as monitoring of legal processes, management of electronic documents, management of clients, processes and much more!
Investing in technology is essential to provide a first quality service to customers, who are more demanding every day. In addition, it is also a requirement to accompany the courts themselves, which have also been investing heavily.
With this in mind, we have prepared a post highlighting the main advantages of being able to count on the help of technology when it comes to procedural monitoring. Check it out!
Greater organization
Before anything else, it is important to point out that any initiative to modernize the structure of the law firm with a management software focused on the area will result in a more organized work environment.
We know that an error in the practice of law, such as the loss of time, for example, can cause enormous damage to the client and the office. The best way to avoid these mistakes is the organization.
When the lawyer is sure that the important information will reach him at the moment he needs it, there is no longer any need to keep several tabs open in the browser or dozens of folders stacked on the desk.
Better customer service
The implementation of legal software does not only benefit the direct users of the system, i.e. lawyers. The client is also able to feel a difference in the quality of the service provided, especially in terms of service.
Imagine, for example, that the client’s legal department has a software to follow up processes. The probability that he, when notified of some important procedural progress, will call the office to find out why the hearing was cancelled or what would be the best strategy to appeal the sentence that has just been published.
Possibility of integration with other systems
Technology has transformed the way we communicate, study, consume and, of course, legal services have not been left out of this revolution. The world is becoming more integrated every day and the lawyer cannot remain isolated from the world, only inside the office.
With a legal software that offers a solution in automated monitoring of cases, lawyers have their system fully integrated with the systems of the courts. This makes the information come to you and not the other way around!
Cost reduction
The automation of processes within the law firm means that lawyers and administrative staff will no longer have to waste time with merely mechanical and repetitive tasks, such as registering processes in the system, writing petitions without intelligent models, and, of course, seeking up-to-date procedural progress at all times on court websites.
When all this is no longer an issue, naturally, the management of the office will begin to think about drying up its staff or stop hiring employees and lawyers for emergencies, reducing their operational costs, without jeopardizing the quality of the service provided.
Economy of physical space
One of the biggest costs within the liabilities of a Brazilian company is with the rental or acquisition of a physical structure, especially in big cities, where the value of the square meter is not cheap!
The automation of legal processes allows the offices to work with a smaller structure, however, much more efficient, because they will need fewer people to perform the same work.
Besides, we can say that the office also starts to print less when it has access to the state-of-the-art technology, which, in turn, makes it possible to eliminate a good part of the physical folders, saving space.
Mobility
The lawyer can no longer run the risk of not having access to important information in real time, which is a real challenge for a professional with such a dynamic routine.
Still, luckily, technology allows him to take everything he needs in the palm of his hand with just a smartphone and an internet connection. This way you can optimize your time and work while waiting for hearings in the forum or performing démarches in public agencies, for example.
Increase productivity
Finally, we leave one of the most important advantages brought by software that facilitates procedural monitoring: the increase in the productivity of lawyers in banking.
If we stop to observe the routine of an office that does not yet have technology as an ally, we will see that lawyers are not used to their full potential. On the contrary, they spend a good part of their time engaged in tasks that would not need to be done by them.
Have you ever stopped to think about how many hours a month your lawyers spend looking for information about causes in the portals of the courts? If we eliminate all that time, he can certainly get involved with new processes or projects within the office.
This is what happens in the largest and most modern offices throughout the country: lawyers are called upon to intervene personally only when there is a need to make a decision of a legal nature or to practice a private act of attorney, such as writing a petition or holding a hearing.
Finally, we could not fail to mention that the technology applied to the accompaniment of legal processes also helps law firms to become more sustainable, as they will stop printing hundreds of thousands of pages every year.
