Clark Partington Implements Practice Management and Overhauls Network
Hurricanes have consistently devastated Northwest Florida and the surrounding areas, destroying offices, businesses, homes and more. Consequently, my firm, Clark, Partington, Hart, Larry, Bond & Stackhouse, learned some important lessons and turned its attention to technology that would protect clients' information and facilitate workflow at the same time. Clark, Partington is a full-service law firm serving business and individual clients throughout the Southeastern U.S. The firm has 34 lawyers and over 100 total employees, with two offices in Northwest Florida ' one in Pensacola and one in Destin. As such, hurricanes are no strangers, but the destructive toll of Ivan in 2004 and its many successors made us realize we needed to better prepare our firm for the future, particularly in the area of technology.
Technology has always been an important part of our firm's operations, and we have invested in state-of-the-art software, such as Worldox for document management and Orion for financial management, to better serve our technologically savvy clients. The firm puts a high priority on being able to tackle clients' legal needs with a practice group composed of the right mix of attorneys and staff best able to effectively and efficiently handle the matter. That means attorneys and paralegals must be able to work collaboratively, even if they are not geographically co-located. Such collaborative work, we decided, required a sophisticated practice management computer system. We knew what we needed, but we were not sure which system to purchase or how to implement such a system.
