Admiralty Law Firms

Whether you’re working on salvage, maritime liens, injuries to sailors, maritime contracts, or issues of jurisdiction, AbacusLaw will streamline your case handling, automate routine tasks, and keep you on top of appointments, deadlines and case facts. 

Using AbacusLaw in your admiralty law practice you will:

Stop Worrying About Missing Deadlines

Confidently keep all your appointments with all your events in one legal calendar.

• Meet all of your deadlines, such as for filing insurance or salvage claims, liens, summons, complaints, answers, motions briefs, and appeals.
• Smart alarms will remind you of important events so you won't be late or forget meetings with clients, lenders, insurers, or opposing counsel, miss depositions, or be late to court.

Generate Documents Quickly Without Mistakes

Eliminate mistakes by automating the generation of routine documents and forms. AbacusLaw works with Word, WordPerfect and PDF forms. Create a document template, then let AbacusLaw pull correct information from the database each and every time.

• Quickly draft retainer agreements or engagement letters, correspondence, maritime liens, and salvage contracts, as well as all your litigation and discovery documents, while minimizing awkward and potentially serious errors.
• Scan important documents, such as insurance contracts, accident or incident reports, medical results, and cargo manifests, for safe storage and easy retrieval. With AbacusLaw, you can associate and save vital evidence with your case files.
• Forms and documents are linked to the matter for easy retrieval, making it easy for you to update or revise them when necessary.

Improve Client Satisfaction

AbacusLaw puts all of your facts and contacts at your fingertips for quick and easy retrieval.

• Linking notes, telephone calls, emails, documents and forms to your matters means you’re just a mouse click away from the information you need for preparing presentations (whether for settlement conferences or court), correspondence, and legal documents.
• That same quick access lets you respond to client inquiries quickly, accurately and completely. Your clients will notice and appreciate your professionalism.

Record More Time and Generate Bills Quickly

AbacusLaw’s integrated time, billing and accounting features make it easy to organize your financial information.

• Record time and expenses as you work. Many maritime and admiralty matters are complex and will involve many hours of work by attorneys and support staff billing at different rates, but AbacusLaw makes tracking hourly billing effortless.
• When billing hourly against a retainer, you’ll know how your time has been spent, and how much of the retainer has been applied.

Management reports help you see what parts of your practice are the most profitable.
