Am Law 100 Firm Jackson Lewis Selects Aderant Expert for Integrated Practice & Financial Management

July 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Aderant, the world’s largest independent legal software company, announced today that national workplace law firm Jackson Lewis LLP has selected Aderant Expert as its next generation practice and financial management system to provide comprehensive business management capabilities and help support the firm’s continued growth. The 700+-attorney firm conducted a thorough selection process and based its purchase decision on several key factors, most notably Aderant’s reputation in the global legal marketplace, product functionality, stellar client references, high client satisfaction, and reliable Aderant user support and overall client service.

Jackson Lewis required a sophisticated system that would enable the firm to improve time capture, streamline its billing process, create and manage alternative fee arrangements, and gain greater visibility into its financial operations. Aderant Expert provides Jackson Lewis with an intuitive yet scalable and robust financial management system that includes proven, innovative solutions developed through client collaboration. Aderant Expert is built on the latest Microsoft technologies and is easy to learn, use, maintain, and configure to match the firm’s unique business processes.

“Beyond the technology, we have been extremely impressed by the entire Aderant team including sales, product experts, and executives,” stated William Schlosser, Jackson Lewis’ chief financial officer and key stakeholder in the final system selection. “Everyone we have met with has displayed tremendous product knowledge and professionalism. When we reached out to Aderant’s existing clients, they provided glowing references with regard to Aderant’s skilled people, timely support, and willingness to ‘bend over backwards’ for their clients.”

Jackson Lewis will implement Aderant Expert 8.0 including several additional modules that will help the firm streamline processes and gain greater visibility into performance.
•   The new, best-in-class Expert Time Management module provides innovative capabilities that greatly simplify entering, reviewing, and editing time. Found Time is an integrated component that gives attorneys the ability to create time entries quickly from daily activities.
•   Expert Paperless Billing enables the user to electronically distribute and route prebills.
•   Workflow capabilities increase efficiency through automated processes, including client and matter intake.
•   The business intelligence suite Expert ClearView enables detailed analyses to optimize operations and identify trends so firms can take action to avert problems.

“Jackson Lewis was already an Aderant CompuLaw client and now with the addition of Aderant Expert, they will have all of the practice and financial management capabilities they need to help manage, grow, and protect the firm,” said Chris Giglio, chief executive officer for Aderant. “Aderant Expert 8.0 is the safe choice for mid-sized to large firms.
