Furthermore, their manual legal research procedures were time-consuming and frequently resulted in incomplete findings. These challenges had a dual impact, significantly hampering the efficiency of court proceedings while also undermining the law firm’s ability to deliver top-notch legal services to its clients.
Recognizing the need to modernize operations, enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and elevate client services, the firm attempted various software solutions without success. To tackle these persistent challenges and embrace digital transformation, they turned to the expertise of Genesis NGN.
