Prominent litigation firm selects browser-based Case Management Software
DALLAS, TX Feb. 15, 2005 - Having a Fortune 100 Corporation choose your firm as National Coordinating Counsel would seem to be an ideal situation for any law firm. But the savvy corporate client demands more out their outside counsel than a proven track record in winning cases. Lead Outside Counsel must to be able to respond to client demands and coordinate with local counsel firms with ease.
McDermott Will & Emery was selected as the National Coordinating Counsel for a well-established Fortune 100 client because of their stellar record and their reputation as a firm that provides exemplary client service and value to corporations.
To meet the critical needs of their new client base, MWE has implemented the web-based case and matter management system CaseManagerpro from Solutions In Software, Inc.
CaseManagerpro allows MWE to compile, centralize and organize the massive amounts of information associated with the over 75,000 cases filed against their client. Furthermore, the web-based functionality and firm-defined custom workflows will enable MWE to communicate and share information with the 60+ local counsels also assigned in this Multi-District Litigation.
Rebecca Prince, McDermott’s national litigation technology manager adds that, "effective case management software is essential for handling today"s complex, multidistrict litigation. We looked at almost every case management software available and chose CaseManagerpro because it offered the greatest flexibility and scalability."
“MWE is a progressive and forward thinking law firm that truly understands the intrinsic value of how leveraging appropriate technology can benefit a firm’s fiscal and organizational well-being,” states Richard Spies, CEO of Solutions In Software, Inc. “The fit between CaseManagerpro and MWE was a natural one, and the efficiencies gained as a result of implementation will only help this law firm succeed in future client relationships.”
