You are your client’s champion

From initial pleadings through discovery and trial, as a civil litigation lawyer, you are compelled to protect your client’s investments, rights, and opportunities. Regardless of whether you represent the plaintiff or defendant, it is important that your litigation management software is tailored in a way that solves your unique challenges. Your firm needs a legal technology solution with built-in litigation attorney software that simplifies daily practice management and enables your team to focus on serving clients.

Abacus integrates all of my needs into one system.

Civil litigation cases are seldom black or white

No two cases are the same — you take on a broad range of civil disputes, representing various businesses and individuals in a myriad of lawsuits. Using a patchwork of different tools each designed for a specific function is not only costly and overly complex, but it is also ineffective and wastes your precious time.

Your legal practice technology should connect the dots

Many legal practice management systems are generic by design – they just don’t connect the dots. Your civil litigation management software should be tailored to managing all aspects of your litigation practice – freeing your time to advise clients and prepare strategy.

The capabilities of AbacusNext Civil Litigation Software Suite are purposefully-designed to help trial lawyers:

Thousands of attorneys are going the extra mile for their clients by saving time with purpose-built litigation software that automates tasks, simplifies follow-up, and reduces clerical and administrative tasks.
