New start-up, Lester Campbell LLP, invests in Eclipse's Proclaim Practice Management Software solution

Eclipse Legal Systems, the sole Law Society Endorsed legal software provider, is implementing its Proclaim Practice Management Software solution at new start-up firm, Lester Campbell LLP.

Rodney Lester, former Senior Partner at Lester Morrill Solicitors and an experienced Private Client specialist, co-founded the new Leeds-based practice with Jade Campbell, a Property solicitor with over 14 years' conveyancing experience. The pair decided to establish their own Conveyancing firm; specifically providing friendly and expert advice to clients on all aspects of the property process, from sales and purchases to re-mortgages, transfers of equity and commercial property transactions.

Lester Campbell LLP is implementing the Proclaim Conveyancing Case Management system to ensure productivity is maximised from the start, allowing the new start-up to hit the ground running and enabling staff to work electronically, delivering services in a very modern way.

Eclipse announces increasing take up of secure document sharing and digital sign-ups

Eclipse Legal Systems, the sole Law Society Endorsed legal software provider, has announced an increase in take up of its SecureDocs document delivery and acceptance tool.

SecureDocs was the legal sector's first seamlessly integrated secure delivery tool, developed by Eclipse as an optional feature within its Proclaim Case Management solution. Fully embedded within Proclaim, SecureDocs utilises an email messaging function to allow the intended recipient to securely view documents, via an online portal. Additionally, recipients can action documents using an innovative digital signature feature.

Since its inception, SecureDocs has greatly increased in popularity among Eclipse clients and is in use across a wide range of sectors, evidenced by the recent statistics revealing thousands of documents are sent and accepted each day. Eclipse attributes this rapid increase to its clients' awareness in the importance of sending and receiving confidential information, particularly in light of recent hacking threats.

Furthermore, the tool is enabling a much quicker turnaround in terms of client capture. Documents which have previously taken weeks to be delivered, signed and returned are now taking just 20 minutes, resulting in speedier case progressions and improved client service.

Eclipse client and one of the north-west's largest firms, Asons, implemented SecureDocs to enhance client service and drive efficiency throughout all departments. The firm heavily utilises the document delivery tool for requesting and transmitting confidential and personal client information.

Kamran Akram (pictured), Principal at Asons, comments:

"SecureDocs has been invaluable to our firm, not only in terms of efficiency - we now operate 100% digitally - but also in eliminating the risk of sending emails to the wrong recipient. As a law firm, the work we do is of a sensitive and personal nature so the extra reassurance that SecureDocs brings ensures total security - for us and our clients."

Seddons will be rolling out preconfigured work types for all staff in a move to further increase competitive edge, and provide a core centralised productivity suite. Prior to the full Proclaim Practice Management implementation, Eclipse will conduct a complete data migration from the incumbent system.

As part of the drive to further enhance client service, Seddons will also take advantage of the integrated Proclaim new client management system, empowering the firm to analyse and track sources of business whilst offering a streamlined and efficient client inception process. In addition, the firm will be utilising Proclaim's MI Data Warehouse feature to provide a central reporting and data mining solution capable of amalgamating Proclaim data with data from other systems used by the practice.

As an expanding practice based in London's West End, Seddons has a strong reputation for both commercial and private client work. Seddons delivers practical, cost-effective legal advice across a range of specialisms with a particular expertise in property, corporate and family law. The practice prides itself on its reputation for quality advice, delivered by lawyers from diverse backgrounds with a primary commitment to service.

James Temple (pictured), Head of IT at Seddons, comments:

"After a rigorous selection process, we found Eclipse's Proclaim system stood out as being able to provide a complete firm-wide solution. The availability of preconfigured case management workflows is a huge benefit and will enable our fee earners to deliver exceptional, cost-effective legal advice, whilst helping to streamline some of our existing processes. The sheer scope and quality of offerings from Eclipse and its Proclaim solution means our future business needs and development can be met with confidence. The fact that Eclipse is Law Society Endorsed gives us that extra assurance that Eclipse is the right partner with which to move ahead."

Eclipse Sales Director, Dolores Evelyn, comments:

"As an established and full-service practice, Seddons was rightly extremely rigorous in its selection process for a firm-wide PMS. The fact that we can provide the practice with what it requires now - and what it aims for moving forward - is testament to the strength of our Proclaim solution and the position it has attained in the marketplace. We look forward to a long and very happy relationship with Seddons!"
