100% Web-based Practice Management - Runs In Your BrowserServices
Training
While all LegalFirst clients receive a training session as part of their initial Setup Procedure, this training is predicated on understanding the basics of both Legal Practice Management and Accounting. But if you’ve not done accounting or run a Law Practice before, our professional training staff will be happy to tailor a course for your staff and your requirements. We’ve also found, through extensive consulting, that almost any Law Practice benefits from occasional brush up training – let us help you.
Accounting
Learn the basics of Double Entry accounting, bookkeeping and Time Billing. Our professional trainers will determine what information you need BEFORE the training session begins, allowing your staff to be up and running in a minimum amount of time. Included in all sessions is a course syllabus, training materials and examples. And while training is specifically geared towards LegalFirst accounting, the principals covered are applicable for any accounting package.
Most Suitable For: any staff member who handles accounts or billing.
Practice Management 101
Spending too much time managing your firm and not enough time at the beach? Our Practice Management 101 course will teach you how to run a law firm efficiently and legally. And while every law firm is different, there are commonalities and best practices which will help any firm. Included in all sessions is a course syllabus, training materials and examples.
Most Suitable For: any staff member who handles personnel, document preparation, time, disbursements or billing.
LegalFirst
Law Firms grow, shrink and change all the time…which is why we offer base training on LegalFirst at any time. If you have new staff or existing staff moving into new areas of responsibility, our LegalFirst Training Course will benefit them greatly, making them more efficient in their time which, in turn, will make your firm run more smoothly. Included in all sessions is a course syllabus, training materials and examples.
Most Suitable For: any staff member who uses LegalFirst.
Security Audits
Our security staff will go through your system with a fine tooth comb, looking for abnormalities in access, checking password strength and ferreting out old accounts and potential breach points. At the end of this process, you’ll be given a report showing both REQUIRED and RECOMMENDED actions to bring your firm up to the most secure it can be.
Bookkeeping
Through our extensive consulting, we’ve found that many smaller firms are caught in the grey area of growth: big enough to require a bookkeeper, but not big enough to warrant one on a full time basis. And if you do have a part time bookkeeper, how do you know they’re utilising the software you’re running your business on to its full capability? We can offer bookkeeping services on a needs based basis. Unlike other software packages, LegalFirst is 100% web based, allowing our bookkeeping staff to access your accounts without you having to provide desk space or a computer; you don’t have to worry about any of the details which come with employment…just put your paperwork in the post once a week and it will appear in your LegalFirst application.
