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.
