AX Law, United Arab Emirates

Introduction

AX Law, a recently established law firm based in Dubai, faced operational challenges due to the lack of integration between their existing systems. This resulted in duplicated information, manual processes, and limited visibility into their financial elements and day to day matter management. In their quest for an integrated solution, AX law deployed Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments, enabling them to streamline operations, gain comprehensive visibility, and position themselves for future growth.

Background

AX Law was using separate systems for various aspects of their practice, including matter management, financial management, document storage, and email management. These systems operated independently, leading to inefficiencies, data duplication, and manual workarounds. Recognising the need for a unified and integrated solution, AX Law sought a comprehensive software suite that would address these challenges.

"Deploying Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments has been a game-changer for AX Law. The integration between these platforms has revolutionised our operations, providing us with complete visibility into our financial elements and a seamless matter-centric approach to managing documents and emails."

Karim Fawaz, Managing Partner at AX law.

Selecting Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments:

After careful evaluation of available options, AX law chose Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments as their preferred solution. Matters.Cloud provided them with robust matter management capabilities, while NetDocuments offered a secure and efficient document and email management system. Both platforms were known for their seamless integration with other software, which was a crucial requirement for AX law.

Implementation Process:

The deployment of Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments involved a comprehensive implementation process, tailored to the specific needs of AX law. The internal project team collaborated closely with the software vendors to ensure a smooth transition from the legacy systems. The implementation process encompassed the following key steps:

Project Initiation

  • A thorough analysis was conducted to identify AX law's specific requirements, including matter management workflows, time recording, billing, financial integration, document storage, and email management needs.

Design & Build

  • Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments were both configured to align with AX law's business processes and data structures. This ensured seamless integration and a familiar user experience.

Data Migration

  • AX law's existing data, including matter information, financial records, documents, and emails, were migrated to the new combined platform. The migration process aimed to maintain data integrity and minimise downtime.

Training & Go Live

  • A comprehensive training program was conducted to familiarise AX law's team with the new systems.


The Results:

The successful deployment of the combined Matters.Cloud and NetDocuments solution by AX law showcases the transformative power of integrated legal technology solutions. By eliminating operational inefficiencies, improving financial visibility, and enabling a matter-centric approach, AX law achieved streamlined operations, enhanced security, and positioned themselves for future growth.
