AbacusLaw for
Malpractice Defense Law Firms
Whether you’re defending a doctor, an accountant, a broker, or a fellow attorney from a claim of professional negligence and breach of their duty of care, AbacusLaw will streamline your workflow, automate routine tasks, and keep you well informed on your projects & cases.
Using AbacusLaw in your malpractice defense practice you will:
- Meet all of your deadlines, such as for filing answers, submitting motions and legal briefs, or bringing appeals.
- Smart alarms will remind you of important events so you won't be late or forget meetings with clients, expert witness, or opposing counsel, miss depositions, or be late to court.
- Quickly draft retainer agreements or engagement letters, as well as litigation and discovery documents (such as document requests and interrogatories), while minimizing awkward and potentially serious errors.
- Scan important documents, such as medical records or lab results, financial documents, malpractice insurance policies, or correspondence, 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 medical malpractice defense, which often involves 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.
