1. Law Firms Remain Organized
Using Legal Practice
Management Software

2. Law Firms Remain Organized Using
Legal Practice Management Software
A career in law can be a taxing endeavor,
and managing a law firm can pose even
more challenges. Fortunately, with
advancement of technology come helpful
tools to make managing companies
easier and more efficient.

3. Law firms for instance can utilize
PayPanther’s legal practice
management software in order to
maximize their productivity when it
comes to handling documents, calendar
management and other important
aspects of the company. The top law
firms in the world are, in fact, using this
type of software to assist them.

4. The software allows them to organize
files efficiently and allows them to focus
on their client’s case or matter
thoroughly. One of the leading software
developers for law firms is PayPanther.
We have a comprehensive list of features
to help turn any law firm into a more
organized and time efficient company.
Features of our software include:

5. Time Tracking
This feature lets law firms use the built-in
stop-watch in order to track the time
spent on each client, case, or matter
which in turn can assist in estimating the
correct amount of charges. This feature
allows for better time-management as
well as tracking how much time was
spent to bill the clients for the hours
worked.

6. During setup, you will input the hourly
rate of each of the attorneys using the
software. PayPanther will then
automatically calculate the cost to the
client based on the hourly rate multiplied
by the number of hours worked. When it
comes time to invoice the client,
PayPanther will ask you if you would like
to bill your client for ALL unbilled time
entries in 1 click. This makes it extremely
efficient for law practices who bill their
clients at the end of each month.

7. Invoicing and Billing
Another helpful feature in legal practice
management software includes the
ability to instantly produce bills and
invoices to all clients with a simple click
of a button. Rather than taking hours to
detail billing rates, by having quality law
management software a law firm will be
able to breakdown in detail every single
aspect of the client billing process in a
quick and systematized order.

8. You will also have the option to make the
time billable or un-billable which means
PayPanther will not invoice them for the
time spent if it was marked as “un-
billable”.

9. CRM in Legal Practice Management
Software
One of the most helpful features in our
legal practice management software
involves the ability to manage clients and
cases easily and effectively. CRM can
help law firms avoid unnecessary
conflicts in regards to the information of
various clients.

10. By entering all details of the client
(notes, tasks, events, meetings,
appointments, call logs), anyone who
speaks to the client can know instantly
where this client stands based on their
previous notes and conversations with
others in your firm. One of the most
widely used features is “call log” which
lets you add any notes for every single
phone call you had with your client. You
can also track the time spent on each call
to bill them for your time.

11. Project Management
Another helpful benefit offered by
the legal practice management
software gives users the ability to
organize in detail all important case files
and documents within the computer
without the need for scouring through
mountains of hardcopy documents. Having
access to every piece of information in a
singular interface greatly lessens the time
it usually takes to segregate different
documents from each other.

12. Exchanging files with other lawyers can
also be done quickly and accurately by
sharing a “public link” letting anyone
access your document with the link (if
you share the link with them and make it
public). Please note, if the link is not
made public, it will be impossible for
anyone to access any of your documents
as it is 100% secure and encrypted with
256 bit military grade security.

13. Calendar
The application also allows for proper
scheduling management by having all
events, court hearing and meetings to be
all in one place. This allows for the law
firm to work as one and increase the
quality and productivity by each and
every staff by using PayPanther’s legal
practice management software.

14. Role Based Security
Have a small or large firm and need
different access levels for different
people in the firm? Only want your
paralegal to see and handle certain
aspects of the software? No problem. You
can try the Black Panther plan to get
more control and more security.

15. Tasks
The software also allows for users to
specifically assign tasks to each staff of
the law firm. This will prevent any
conflicts when it comes to responsibilities
and activities. This in turn will reflect on
the law firm’s overall profitability as each
cog of the proverbial machine is fine
tuned and working to the best of their
ability.

16. Summary
The importance of having accurate legal
practice
management software cannot be
stressed enough for the success of the
law firm.

17. PayPanther has already proven itself in
this area and has assisted numerous law
firms all over the world with improving
