WHAT’S NEW IN PROLAW VERSION 2016.1AN INNOVATIVE AND GLOBAL LEADERThomson Reuters Elite, a leading provider of Enterprise Business Management Solutions, delivers integrated solutions for business development, risk management, client and matter management, and financial management to the legal industry, corporations, and to other professional services markets.

ProLaw® is the comprehensive business management solution from Thomson Reuters Elite that enables law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies to fully automate the practice and manage the business of law. Innovative functionality gives you the tools to manage, work, and run more efficiently, so you can focus on growing your business. With ProLaw Release 2016.1, you will benefit from technology updates and billing and journal functionality enhancements that will save you time and help you run more efficiently and effectively.

The enhancements of ProLaw 2016.1 are all about saving time and increasing efficiency across your organization. Improvements to billing features and journal functionality were designed to help the accounting and back office staff improve productivity in their day-to-day activities. For example, the ability to edit transactions in pre-bills without printing and then scheduling multiple statements to send at once reduces the risk of errors and is a great time saver. We’ve also automated many processes that used to be manual, such as tracking client payments and posting cash receipts, and figuring discount percentages.

The new version of ProLaw also brings added convenience and productivity enhancements for lawyers. We’ve added time recording features that help prevent errors and allow time entry and editing from the ProLaw Portal. These updates provide more accurate time entries and ultimately can improve your bottom line. In addition, added functionality to the ProLaw Portal lets lawyers add a contact as well as search and view matters, contacts, and dockets which keeps lawyers working most efficiently and effectively while on the go.

An additional addition to ProLaw 2016.1 is updates in technology that make it possible for Citrix/Terminal Server and Office 365 to now be supported. This, in addition to the other time saving and efficiency enhancements, provide you with the most sophisticated business management software designed to meet your needs and improve performance.
