LEAP Documents is legal software that includes access to all the legal precedents, legal forms, and rates and charges and provides the advanced document automation you need to increase your productivity dramatically. LEAP Documents will change the way you work - creating an electronic file at your fingertips. When a client or other party calls, you no longer need to retrieve the paper file.
You can search and find a matter within seconds, open it, and have instant access to the matter's status, the parties involved and the documents that have been created for the matter. Staff are able to add documents to the matter from external sources including emails, enabling you to view incoming correspondence and so obtain a more complete picture of the status of the matter.
Have everything you need in one place
With LEAP Documents you have an Electronic File for each matter.
At a glance you have:
-
All the documents sent and received in the matter
-
Client information
-
Enhanced matter information customised for your needs
-
Details of all parties involved
-
Powerful matter reporting
-
Matter Agendas
Instead of telling the client that you cannot find the file, you will quickly and
easily reference the required information that you and any member of your team has
created for the matter. So even if your assistant is on leave, or the matter is being
dealt with by another lawyer you will demonstrate that you run an efficient and professional
legal practice.
Even your online searches are performed seamlessly from within LEAP Documents and the
search results and diagrams automatically stored against the matter. For even greater
convenience, the disbursements are also recorded and passed through to the accounting
system ready for invoicing.
Having everything you need in one place will make your work day more pleasurable, will
reduce non-chargeable wasted time and will enable you to provide an enhanced level
of client service thereby gaining a competitive advantage.
Have precedents covering all common areas of law
that are constantly updated
LEAP has an extensive set of automated precedents constantly updated to keep your
precedents compliant. You have a single database where all matter data is stored and
which merges into the correct precedent every time. The dangers of using the incorrect
precedent are reduced and staff training costs are minimised. You will find that your
staff love using LEAP!
Keeping precedents up-to-date has never been easier. Our unique online updating service
means that with a single click of the mouse all your precedents are updated automatically
from the LEAP Server. Version control ensures that you retain the original and updated
versions on your system with detailed usage audit trails.
So by using LEAP precedents you:
-
Know that the legal content is up to date
-
Optimise productivity benefits
-
Minimise the cost of keeping your precedents up to date.
New areas of law are constantly being added as the user base expands.
Manage email and all other correspondence by matter
For many lawyers email and other methods of electronic communication is commonplace
and is rapidly replacing traditional mail. As a result, referring to the paper file
alone carries the risk that some electronic correspondence will be missed.
LEAP Documents integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook to such an extent that
even incoming emails with the matter number in the subject line are automatically duplicated
and stored against the matter, completely eliminating the risks that a document will
be mislaid or missed.
Sending emails from the matter has never been easier and a great comfort is that an
enforced preview function minimises the risks of sending an inaccurate email by mistake
or in haste. Matter documents are quickly attached to an email and a range of automated
PDF options allows you to "lock down" content in secure PDF format.
Any user with access to LEAP can quickly and easily add scanned items to the matter
as well. Your outgoing and incoming faxes are also associated with the matter. You
will have an electronic file of all matter information and documents that is instantly
available to all users of your system.

Customise your system for specialised legal services
Whatever your area of law LEAP Documents provides a customisable platform for you
to incorporate you own special expertise into the system.
You can:
-
Customise matter databases
-
Set up your own precedents with advanced merge capabilities to work with your standard LEAP precedents
