Using AbacusLaw in your labor and employment law practice, you will:
Reduce Calendaring Stress
Confidently keep all your appointments with all your events in one legal calendar.- Meet all of your deadlines, such as for filing claims with the U.S. Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or state agencies. AbacusLaw will also manage your litigation deadlines, such as for serving summons and complaints, filing answers, or submitting motions and legal briefs.
- Smart alarms will remind you of important events so you won't be late or forget meetings with clients, management, agency personnel, or opposing counsel, miss depositions, or be late to court.
Automatically Generate Documents 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, employment contracts, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, separation and release agreements, employee handbooks, and litigation and discovery documents, while minimizing awkward and potentially serious errors.
- Scan important documents, such as employment agreements, time sheets, payroll records, and personnel files, 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 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. This is particularly valuable if you regularly bill on a contingency basis, where not over-investing your time, compared to the potential return, is key to a successful practice.
What Attorneys Are Saying About AbacusLaw
"Before using Abacus, we were forced to make redundant data entries,
had weak navigation between software features and very poor calendaring. Now,
data entry is easy, calendaring is a breeze and tracking is very simple."
David P. Greenberger, Esq. of San Diego, CA
