DPS Software Ltd

The legal billing software designed by DPS Software has been created to make your life that much simpler, and has been developed over a period of 30 years. It works from the time record, when the fee earner records time it is automatically added to the right claim form which then posts bills to the accounts. There is then a receipts module which automatically receipts each bill. When you create a letter, an attendance note, or send an email, you are prompted for your time by the system. Nothing is missed out, so all time is automatically billed. Time can also be recorded in real time as the work is carried out or added to the screen manually if required.

What you need is software that is fully integrated rather than “interfaced”. There are some software providers who have a collection of software tools that have been combined in order to provide all of the services that a practice needs, but that do not actually work very well with each other.  In the worst case scenario the different tools may have been created and are being supported by different companie...

The use of legal software in the cloud is becoming more popular almost by the day, and with good reason. Firstly it will save you a considerable amount of money over running everything in-house, and it has the advantage of allowing you access to all of your documents, , to send and receive emails, bill your time, and much more, from wherever you happen to be.  However, before you rush out and sign a contract for solicitors’ software there are several things to bear in mind.
