Alternative Dispute Resolution Law Firms
Whether you’re advising clients about alternative dispute resolution or representing a party in mediation or arbitration, AbacusLaw will simplify your case workflow, automate routine tasks, and keep you on top of appointments, deadlines and case activities.
Using AbacusLaw in your alternative dispute resolution practice you will:
Never Miss a Deadline
Confidently keep all your appointments with all your events in one legal calendar.- Meet all of your deadlines, such as requesting alternative dispute resolution (or responding to another party’s request), submitting evidence and briefs, or, if alternative ways of resolving a matter don’t work and litigation ensues, the deadlines for filing litigation and discovery documents.
- Smart alarms will remind you of important events so you won't be late or forget meetings with clients, mediators, arbitrators, or opposing counsel.
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, demands for arbitration, arbitration agreements, and settlement offers, as well as litigation and discovery documents, while minimizing awkward and potentially serious errors.
- Scan important documents, such as arbitration agreements and any evidence in written form, 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.
Deliver Exceptional Client Service
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, mediation, arbitration, 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.
- 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. If you bill on a flat fee basis, you need to make sure you don’t spend more time on a matter than your fee justifies. AbacusLaw will help you evaluate, manage, and streamline your practice.
