Small Law Firms
Sole Practitioners & Small Law Firms
Leveling the playing field and providing a real edge.
In order to increase revenues, enhance efficiencies, control costs, and mitigate
risk, Legal Professionals must continue to evolve their practice. This is particularly
true for the sole practitioner and small law firm.
Often Legal Professionals have software and systems in place, but do not use them
effectively. Data is not entered on a consistent basis, information is not properly
categorized or filed, and no intelligence can be gathered from the systems to effectively
manage the practice. LIVIA not only provides a technology Portal and services platform,
it assigns qualified professionals to the Legal Professional to manage the LIVIA
processes and systems on a daily basis, as well as to provide on-demand reports.
LIVIA Provides Customized Services, Technology and Collaborative Tools
Same Capabilities for all Lawyers
LIVIA provides the same capabilities to the individual lawyer or small firm that
are typically only available to well-staffed large firms. This not only levels the
playing field, but provides an edge to the Legal Professional using LIVIA.
Practice Management
Legal Professionals utilize the same tools to manage their practices effectively
– whether they work alone, in firms or in corporations. But these capabilities
and tools typically are not in one offering, are not fully staffed and managed,
and are not cloud accessible.
Single Integrated Platform
LIVIA has built a comprehensive and collaborative law practice management platform;
broad in functionality, deep in support capability, accessible in the cloud, secure
in the storage of documents and other data, and supported by knowledgeable professionals.
The LIVIA Platform can be augmented by the Law Professional’s specific service
needs.
Professional Services
LIVIA provides a full range of services, both strategic and tactical, to make the
Legal Professional more effective. Services on demand include scheduling calls and
meetings, managing documents, collecting time and expenses, preparing billings,
and providing and reviewing business analytics.
Performance of Tasks
Legal Professionals are inundated with time-consuming tasks. Using qualified LIVIA
professionals for staff support, allows the Legal Professional to make optimum use
of his or her time and money. Legal Professionals can use their in-house personnel
to generate revenue, not perform repetitive or analytical functions.
Client Portals
LIVIA changes the way Legal Professionals interact with their clients, by providing
individual client Portals for documents, calendars, billings and other activities;
as well as allowing a secure two-way exchange of information and documents. The
individual portals allow for improved client satisfaction, and the ability for the
Legal Professional to have greater insight into client needs.
Collaboration
LIVIA enhances the way Legal Professionals, staff, other lawyers, and consultants
communicate and work together; by allowing for secure workspaces, and document version
and other process controls.
Pricing to Individual Lawyers and Firms
Because LIVIA is spreading the cost of software development and implementation across
a broad base, as Salesforce.comTM does for sales
management, and Netsuite.comTM does for general
business, LIVIA pricing is a monthly subscription fee based on the depth of services
with additional charges for extended services as and when requested.
Shelter / BOT Operations
LIVIA provides the ability to have dedicated and lawyer or firm-managed IT, administrative
support, and legal support personnel located within LIVIA’s offices; allowing
continued use of and/or transition from current technology, and dedicated administrative
and legal support personnel. LIVIA provides each of these capabilities, and the
day-to-day staffing in support.
Confidentiality
LIVIA is concerned about conflicts and confidentiality. LIVIA structures its internal
legal professional services work groups to avoid geographic and practice overlap.
If it appears to any work group that there is overlap on cases or matters; the Client
will be immediately be notified and transferred out of the work group to another
professional team.
If there is a particular firm or case / matter which is subject to particular legal
sensitivity, and LIVIA is so notified by a client, LIVIA will ensure that there
is no risk of data or personnel overlap by internally isolating the client and /
or case / matter.
