The 6 essentials of the Legal WorkplaceWe help legal firms cut operating costs, speed up work processes, meet deadlines, be environmentally responsible and accommodate a better work life balance.
Industry Solution Overview
Industry ChallengeGlobalisation and a strong Asian economy have opened up the doors to new growth opportunities for legal firms in International arbitration in Singapore. This is evident in the liberalisation of the legal services sector through the introduction of the QFLP (Qualifying Foreign Law Practice) scheme. Singapore’s reputation for having an efficient legal service model has also added to its success.
However, growth in the legal industry has brought about challenges such as staff-attrition, rising operating costs, and the constant need to deliver high quality services at an ever-increasing pace. To meet these challenges, legal firms need to find ways to adopt the right technology to maintain an efficient process model for handling the heavy paper workload. This also helps create work-life balance for staff (lawyers and legal support) as efficiencies are realised in document processing, freeing up resources to grow the business.”
Legal Document PortalThe Legal Document Portal provides a range of low to high speed devices that provide essential connectivity. This bridges the gap between physical and electronic documents. This multifunction (Copy, Print, Scan and Fax) platform digitises matter documents in PDF format
for electronic filing. Matter documents captured also have OCR (Optical Character Recognition) applied automatically to facilitate fast and easy search and retrieval. Moreover, it has the capacity for bulk or individual scanning of matter documents, saving legal support staff time and resources. Furthermore, this portal serves as a gateway to link scanned documents to the firm’s filing & billing system. Remote
