More law firms benefit from SOS integrated software

Solicitors Own Software (SOS) is celebrating new contracts for its dynamic practice management software which is now used by more than 400 legal practices throughout the country.

Software developed by the Bath-based legal systems solution provider is designed to support a client’s entire practice efficiently, from managing time recording, invoicing fee-based work and streamlining administration tasks, to providing ‘real time’ management information.

The latest firms to install SOS’s Practice Management software include Glenisters in Middlesex and Turner Coulston in Northampton.

Glenisters is using the SOS system at its Eastcote and London offices in conjunction with Lexus Nexus Visuafiles case management software. This provides the firm – which has 60 staff including five partners and 20 fee earners - with an integrated case and practice management system.

Doreen Jones, who heads the banking and finance unit at Glenisters, said: “The fact the SOS system integrates so effectively with our case management software was an essential consideration for us and provides us with everything we need to run our practice efficiently.”

Turner Coulston - which employs 40 staff at its offices in Northampton and Kettering - will also use SOS Practice Management in conjunction with Lexus Nexus Visuafiles in its personal injury and conveyancing departments before rolling out the system across the firm.

Danny Roberts, accounts manager at Turner Coulston, said: “The integrated case and practice management system will allow us to automate many of the processes that we currently do manually and reduce errors. We hope to see a 50 per cent reduction in manual workload which will result in more fee-earning time.”

SOS managing director, Michael Platt, said: “SOS has now helped more than 400 law firms of all sizes and specialisations implement case and practice management software into their practices over the past 17 years. This means lawyers can spend time doing what they do best and not getting bogged down with tedious and repetitive administration.”
