VoloLegal will feature professional services databases for the legal community, news from the world of law and also the client check list that will allow law firms to protect themselves from prospective clients who may have previous adverse dealings with other law firms.
VoloLegal will be free to join for all users and is open to lawyers, law firms, students, court staff, professional service providers, paralegals and other legal organisations such as law schools as well as consultants and marketing firms that work with the legal profession.
Whilst law firms currently undertake money laundering and ID checks on prospective clients as part of the pre-engagement audit process, until now there has been no central database enabling them to check on a client’s previous history when dealing with other law firms. The client check list offers a safe and structured database that will enable law firms to carry out a simple check to see if any prospective client has had adverse dealings with other firms. The database will be free to populate and has been designed to save law firms time & money by avoiding clients with previous adverse history that otherwise would be unknown to them through the other checks currently available.
The client check list is a further example of how web based collaborative tools can provide law firms with a valuable and controlled environment for both giving and receiving client information for the benefit of all involved.
Barrister’s chambers, international law firms, search / service agents, cost draughtsman & expert witnesses can all advertise within the professional services databases that will feature on the site. These databases will be searchable by region and will contain information on specialism’s and services offered by the various providers.
Private user groups can be created for secure communication using the forums by anyone registered to the site.
The news section will feature information from the law schools across the country and employers are also invited to post information about their recruitment activities as we enter the final semester when many students will be looking to find employment as they sit their year-end exams.
VoloLegal will also host a recruitment and free property section, details of which can be found on the site.
Commenting on the launch, Mark Forman of CFK said “We are delighted to have been involved in the development process of VoloLegal and are confident this will provide a valuable resource for the legal profession”
