Tech-perplexed lawyers: We’ve enjoyed (not) seeing you in June at the Legal Tech Non-Event.
Read on for a rundown of recent news from some of the companies joining us.
And as always, visit our Main Page for all of your tech-adoption needs.
Clio
Clio has been recognized as the Gold Standard in privately owned Canadian businesses by the nation’s leading business awards program. Each year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies apply to Deloitte Canada’s prestigious program and undergo a rigorous application process, but only the best are awarded the title of Canada’s Best Managed Companies.
This will be the fourth year Clio has been recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies, and the company is now being recognized with the Gold Standard distinction within the already elite category.
“This is a major milestone for us in building an enduring 100-year-old company,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. “Our long-term vision is to support all those who engage with the legal industry, and as we expand our portfolio we will look to grow our workforce to achieve these goals — which is why we are committed to creating a vibrant ecosystem for Canadian tech talent.”
LawPay
LawPay has announced a payment integration with eBillity’s rebranded time and billing software, LawBillity.
Realization rates are below average for law firms, indicating that the amount a law firm invoices is lower than the amount of billable work performed. This new LawBillity and LawPay integration is the solution to this problem as it will increase efficiencies and time savings, all while remaining legally compliant.
LawBillity, a legal time tracking and billing software, allows users to improve utilization rates and increase law firm profitability. The platform enables lawyers to capture every billable minute, improve transparency with clients, and with the new LawPay integration, streamline billing and payments in a single, powerful software solution.
“We are excited to offer legal firms the ability to get paid faster by offering secure online payment options that also keep them compliant,” said Douglas Dweck, Vice President of LawBillity and co-founder of eBillity. “LawPay is well respected in the legal field, offers competitive pricing, and will integrate easily with LawBillity.”
MyCase
MyCase, Inc., has appointed Jim McGinnis as the company’s Chief Executive Officer.
McGinnis most recently served as EVP/GM of Wolters Kluwer’s Tax and Accounting North America Professional Segment. Over the past three years, he helped extend CCH Axcess as the leading SaaS solution in the Accounting profession.
Prior to that, Jim served as Vice President at Intuit where he led Marketing and Product Management for the Professional Division and led the Accountant Segment as part of Intuit’s QuickBooks business. He has held senior leadership positions at Activision, Pepsico, and Procter and Gamble.
“I’m honored and excited to lead a company so beloved by its customers,” said McGinnis. “MyCase is in a wonderful position to help law firms better serve their clients and better manage their firms. I cannot wait to contribute to MyCase’s strong track record of best-in-class product and customer delight.”
TimeSolv
TimeSolv, a provider of web-based software for legal billing and timekeeping, has announced a new payment solution dubbed TimeSolvPay designed to allow law firms to increase collection rates and modernize and automate their receivables process.
For busy law firms of all types and sizes, this new premier payment processor creates a consolidated experience for time capture, billing, invoicing, and payment collection, all within the TimeSolv system. TimeSolvPay boasts transparent, easy-to-understand pricing, insightful analytics, and rich functionality.
“Accepting online payments means attorneys are providing more convenient options and getting paid quicker,” said TimeSolv CEO Raza Hasan. “With this type of tech in place, firms can better forecast cashflow and streamline management of receivables and trust-related payments.”
