Lexis Front Office powered by Time Matters offers a host of practice management features to boost your productivity and improve your bottom line through enhanced workflow, matter management, communications and billing.
- Centralized matter management Help professionals in your firm be as well informed and organized as possible by storing all information pertaining to a particular matter in one centralized location. Simply open a matter record to view all related documents, e-mails, phone calls, notes, appointments, ToDo’s, research, billing items and more. Authorized staff can access key information, easily view the status of a matter and see upcoming deadlines.
- Comprehensive calendar, task delegation and reminder system Real-time calendar, ToDo's, alerts and reminders make it easy to manage your ever-changing schedule and list of priorities with multiple staff. Delegate and track tasks to others on your team, and receive alerts before something is due—or when someone has changed your schedule. With Inactivity Watch, you can easily follow up with clients and referral sources. Many applications notify an attorney when something has happened, but few can notify you when a referral pipeline has dried up or when a client hasn’t updated an estate plan in more than two years.
- Automated timers for easy time capture and billing More accurately and completely bill for your time to increase revenue and better determine what cases/matters are profitable. Integration with most common billing/accounting applications means work performed for your client can be automatically accessible for billing. Billing integrations include Lexis® Back Office powered by Billing Matters® or PCLaw™, Juris® from LexisNexis®, Timeslips®, Intuit® QuickBooks®, Tabs3™ and Microsoft® SBA.
- Integration with most common office productivity tools Lexis Front Office powered by Time Matters lets you pull together and view all of the firm’s information from one place. Link your documents, spreadsheets, Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations, PDFs, e-mails, online research and more.
