This thriving Yorkshire law firm will roll out the market leading case management solution firmwide, to over 250 staff; and is predicting a 15% saving in overall operating costs with increased innovation and quality of service delivery.

By eliminating waste, embracing efficiency through automation, and freeing up fee earning time, we can continue to provide the highest quality of service to our growing client base.”
James Hood, Head of ICT at Lupton Fawcett, described their selection process, “The partners’ challenge was clear – select the best technology platform to equip and position the business for sustained and efficient future growth.”
Following a thorough evaluation of the legal technology market, the firm selected Visualfiles from LexisNexis® Enterprise Solutions, a leading provider of content and technology solutions, working in tandem with SOS Practice Management system as the core foundation for its technology strategy. Hood added, “Visualfiles and SOS have a strong presence in the legal market and having discussed the merits of their solution with a number of IT Directors from competing law firms, it was clear it was the right choice for us”.

We are not interested in simply getting “better”, we want “best” and we are confident that the power of Visualfiles to create new and compelling ways of delivering our legal services more quickly will achieve this ambition. We are looking forward to the exciting times ahead for Lupton Fawcett.”
