Improving Information Flow with LegalKEY Practice Support Solutions
One of the oldest full-service national law firms in the United States, Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, has now installed one of the newest conflict management systems available. With the addition of several new offices over the past few years, the firm, established in 1849, has grown to more than 425 lawyers in 10 locations with further growth on the horizon.
In order to deal with the rapid growth of the firm, it was necessary for us to implement a system that would meet our future needs, maintain and improve the functionality of the firm, as well as fulfill all of our requirements. After researching the market, we chose Hummingbird's LegalKEY Practice Support Solutions, including LegalKEY Records Manage-ment and LegalKEY Conflicts Management.
