SKILLS SHORTAGE DRIVES NEED FOR LAW FIRM EFFICIENCY
The record level of employment in Australia is creating staff shortages in many areas of
the economy, and in particular amongst legal support staff. This is driving technology
upgrades in many firms as they seek to take advantage of more efficient business systems.
Many firms are finding that the older legal practice management systems, whilst excellent
when first released now just require too many people to operate, and their old technology
is too costly to keep operating technically.
From a generational point of view, these older systems, having been spawned in the DOS
and pre-Internet computing environment, are just not capable of taking advantage of the
many benefits of the technology developments of the past 15 years. Competition on charge
out rates, salary pressures, and demands from clients for better levels of service are
driving dynamic law firms to make the generational change to new systems like LEAP.
Modern lawyers not only need to do the work themselves – they want to. LEAP is a
matter-centric system, designed to help lawyers work effectively in today’s highly
competitive and cost conscious legal environment.
