Amicus
Attorney® Partners with RPost® Registered E-mail®
Amicus Attorney creates alliance with RPost® to help customers
reduce risk in e-mail communications with Registered E-mail®
Services
Toronto,
ON and Los Angeles, CA (October 3, 2006) - Gavel & Gown
Software Inc., developers of Amicus Attorney® Practice Management
Software (www.amicusattorney.com),
has joined forces with RPost® (www.rpost.com)
to provide its customers with RPost’s Registered E-mail® services
- - Legal Proof™ e-mail that protects the sender in case of
a dispute.
“We are
committed to providing our clients with services that can
enhance their practice and reduce risk in their communications.
Offering RPost’s Registered E-mail® service to our customers
alongside our practice management software will provide them
with enhanced e-mail security to help protect them from liability
in e-mail related disputes,” notes Les Hansen, Vice President,
Sales and Marketing, with Amicus Attorney.
Gavel
& Gown’s flagship product, Amicus Attorney, is the world’s
leading practice management software for lawyers with a customer
base of over 225,000 attorneys.
Litigators
are now realizing that a case can be won or lost if their
client wishes to dispute e-mail submitted as evidence. They
can simply deny that their client received that e-mail or
what that email said. Registered E-mail® service protects
the sender by providing them with irrefutable evidence of
their e-mail transactions.
“Because
of the ease with which an e-mail can be modified (i.e. often
with only two clicks of the mouse), a standard e-mail that
is sent or received, archived electronically, or stored in
printed form, has limited ‘evidentiary value’ in a court of
law. The usefulness of such documentation is very misleading,”
states Zafar Khan, RPost CEO. “There is a misconception by
the public that if one sees e-mail in their ‘Sent Folder’
they assume that it was actually delivered to the recipient
and is safe from dispute. In fact, it has to be proven that
the e-mail was sent. Moreover, it has to be proven that the
e-mail was received, when it was received, and what it said,”
comments Khan.
“The Registered
E-mail® service is an everyday tool that allows you to do
more, faster, for less cost, while protecting yourself from
e-mail related challenges or disputes,” remarks Khan. “It
is less about whether someone might challenge that e-mail
today or tomorrow, but rather, protecting yourself a year
from now. If and when there is a dispute involving e-mail,
RPost provides readily available, defensible in court, evidence
of what content was sent to whom and precisely when it was
legally received.”
RPost’s
flagship Registered E-mail® services provide legal and verifiable
evidence of the content and time any e-mail has been sent
and received by anyone, anywhere in the world.
“We believe
that Amicus® Attorney clients, in addition to using our award
winning practice management software, can now protect their
critical e-mail communications with Registered Email ® messages
that will stand up to scrutiny years later,” adds Hansen.
“Prominent attorneys and leading law firms are now using Registered
E-mail® services daily for these very reasons.”
Other
users include the United States Congress’ Government Accountability
Office, the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of the Census,
and attorneys in major law firms, among others. Symantec Corporation,
the leader in Internet security, is a major investor in RPost®.
“Should
an e-mail communication end up in court, for any reason, its
‘evidentiary value’ may be questioned unless precautions are
taken. Using the Registered E-mail® service is that precaution,”
adds Zafar Khan. “Use of Registered E-mail® services minimize
denial of receipt and disputes related to the content agreed
to in e-mail transactions.”
“RPOST®
is better than using registered letters or FedEx®, since neither
can provide proof of content transmitted. It will also save
our clients significant costs and those savings will be passed
on to their clients,” says Hansen. “Registered E-mail®. It
just makes sense.”
A free
trial offer and special pricing is available, exclusively
for Amicus Attorney® customers, for RPost’s Registered E-mail®
service.
