Lawmatics
Lawmatics has recently achieved major milestones in engineering a new era of legal experience.
The client platform has launched several updates to help law firms more effectively streamline operations and win more business. Most significantly, the new custom dashboards feature provides a snapshot of a firm’s vital organs with customizable data visualizations. Users can view e-signature completion status, see upcoming critical tasks, track staff performance, prepare for upcoming appointments, monitor progress toward goals, and more — all from one central homepage.
Other new features have made scheduling even easier. You can now confirm staff availability when booking from anywhere in the platform, send calendar and Zoom invitations on behalf of the appointment host, balance team workloads with Round-Robin pools, and trigger Automations based on appointment adjustments.
Still more updates create a more seamless workflow, including a sortable matter table, an overhauled search bar, and new fields for even more robust custom reports. Lawmatics has also released a two-way sync integration with OneDrive, guaranteeing that legal documents and resources are always up-to-date and easily accessible.
