As a mid-market law firm, finding the right legal billing software is essential for streamlining your workflows, improving your billing accuracy, and maximizing your profitability. The legal industry has seen a lot of technology advancements, making it more important than ever to have the right software to support your business.
Ditch the Old Software
We’ve heard from quite a few LeanLaw clients who switched from PCLaw | Time Matters that the breaking point was the instability of the PCLaw software functionality:
- Random balance changes on invoices
- Lack up software updates
- Lack of connection to the bank (manual workaround time)
- Hours to create productivity and WIP reports
- On-premise software solutions are no longer functional for today’s needs: cloud based is the way to go
If you’re a legal professional currently using PCLaw and looking for an alternative that can provide greater efficiency, stability, and productivity, LeanLaw might be the right solution for you.
