Civil litigation software enables you to artfully apply your talents to a wide variety of disputes
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.
Wrangle the day
Full control of your calendar is key. New issues arise daily and without warning, so quickly being able to reprioritize tasks is a necessity. Abacus Court Rules make scheduling, preparing, and executing your trial procedures a breeze.
Master time management
Utilizing automation to decrease time spent double checking manual workflows frees up time to exceed clients’ expectations with less worry.
Maximize return
Systems that make tracking your time easy are critical to success. Carefully manage the billing process and deliver invoices through email with electronic payments offering an easy and proactive response.
Your challenges are multi-faceted
AbacusNext Civil Litigation Software Suite is tailored for trial lawyers, including torts, wrongful death, employment law, medical malpractice, to name a few, and integrated with Abacus Court Rules (ACR) and Abacus Court Forms to automatically handle Federal, State and County court procedures.
Client intake software for civil litigation attorneys keeps each client’s information organized, current, and consolidated in a single case file
Use court process automation to reduce the time and errors often associated with manual tasks, team-based responsibilities, consequential filing deadlines and helpful reminders
Automatically generate court forms for your clients’ state without ever retyping the same information
Accurately capture expenses on a file —tracking your time in the background regardless of activity
It also makes common litigation practice management activities a cinch, by supporting easy to use:
Case intake screens capture well-organized client information and set in motion workflows for paralegals and support staff to prepare accurate legal forms and precise follow-up events. Case status, chronology, deadline, and alert reports enable you to support each case’s upcoming activities.
Update your schedule and make your case calendar visible to your client and anyone on your team. When unexpected situations make changes inevitable, our civil litigation software makes it easy to alert any impacted parties and proceed accordingly. The Microsoft Outlook integration puts powerful organizational tools at your fingertips, enabling efficient client communications.
Intuitive and accurate billing as you go, including trust accounting capabilities, which are essential to creating accurate invoices, streamline your pre-bill review, and avoid recreating time entries. Automatically generate professional, templated invoices for any fee arrangement or billing schedule and enable epayments to shorten the collections cycle.
