Baker & Daniels Selects American LegalNet eDockets

March 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles  — Los Angeles-based American LegalNet, the premier provider of “Desktop to Courthouse” workflow technologies that reduce risk and minimize cost, today announced that Baker & Daniels LLP recently selected eDockets as its rules-based docketing and calendar application.

The need arose for Baker & Daniels to replace its in-house calendaring application, which required the firm to assess third-party docketing and calendaring applications. After evaluating CompuLaw and eDockets as applications to reduce the risk of missing critical dates and deadlines, Baker & Daniels made the decision to replace its in-house application with eDockets.

eDockets is American LegalNet’s web-based docketing and calendar application that provides access to attorneys anytime, anywhere. With eDockets, attorneys and their staff can schedule critical dates based on built-in court rules and also have the ability to integrate with American LegalNet’s Forms WorkFlow and eFiling applications as well as third-party time and billing systems and document management systems.

Baker & Daniels has more than 370 lawyers and legal professionals in seven offices and offers services in more than 40 practices and industries. Based in Indianapolis, the firm also has offices in Fort Wayne, South Bend, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Beijing, and it serves clients in regional, national and international transactions, regulatory matters and litigation. Baker & Daniels' legal experience and expertise includes bankruptcy and business restructuring, China, construction, corporate finance, economic development, education, energy and climate change, health care and life sciences, immigration, insurance, intellectual property, international, government services, labor and employment, nonprofit, product liability, real estate, renewable energy, tax and much more.

Baker & Daniels made the decision to purchase eDockets because of the intuitive web interface for easy network access anywhere.  Being a web-based product also made deployment simpler. eDocket’s customization capabilities provided the firm with the ability to create ad-hoc events without tying them to court rules. This flexibility enables Baker & Daniels' non-litigation groups to leverage eDockets as a central calendar for a variety of practice areas within the firm.

Baker & Daniels has been an American LegalNet Forms WorkFlow customer for three years. Moving to a docketing and calendar application that integrates with Forms WorkFlow as well as its Autonomy iManage document management system provides significant benefits to the firm, including profiling of Pacer documents and provision of links to the documents to minimize storage.

“As we continue to grow our mid-size and large firm eDockets customer base, we are excited to welcome Baker & Daniels on board,” said Erez Bustan, CEO & president of American LegalNet. “We look forward to Baker & Daniels working with our team to ensure they enjoy the benefits that eDockets has to offer.”

American LegalNet’s third product in its “Desktop to Courthouse” workflow suite is eFiling, which standardizes the process of electronic filing with courts and agencies. eDockets works with both Forms WorkFlow and eFiling Portal to track, manage and distribute reminders related to forms and electronic filing based on the calendar and appropriate court rules.
