AbacusLaw for
Construction Defect Law Firms
Whether you’re representing a homeowner against architects, engineers, builders, developers, or contractors, AbacusLaw will simply your workflow, automate routine tasks, and keep your cases and clients perfectly organized.
Using AbacusLaw in your construction defect practice you will:
- Meet all of your deadlines, such as statutes of limitations or deadlines for filing summons, complaints, motions, discovery requests, briefs, or appeals.
- Smart alarms will remind you of important events so you won't be late or forget meetings with clients, experts, lenders, or opposing counsel, miss depositions, or be late to court.
- Quickly draft retainer agreements or engagement letters, correspondence, settlement offers, and all your litigation and discovery documents, while minimizing awkward and potentially serious errors.
- Scan important documents, such as inspector's or engineer's reports, construction permits, architectural plans, work orders, and materials’ receipts, 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.
- 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 time and expenses as you work. Especially for construction defect cases, which often involve expensive testing and expert witnesses, it is essential that you stay on top of your expenses.
- 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’re billing on a contingency basis, a successful practice depends on not investing too much time for the expected return. AbacusLaw will help you streamline your practice and spend your time on the most productive aspects.
