What customers say about our legal accounting software

I trialed six different case management systems while exploring the market and Access Legal Case Management looked the easiest to use and simple to understand whereas others seemed to have several steps involved when working through functions and workflows. The legal accounts side of Access Legal Case Management, in particular, is so easy to use compared to others and it streamlined a lot of our processes.

Chris Ringham - Director Bowsers Solicitors

Essentially, I see the Access Legal practice management solution as the ‘Apple’ of the legal software sector. It provides a huge return on investment, and a quality, centralised case management system, providing us with the confidence to know it’s entirely futureproof. Additionally, third parties have Access Legal at the top of their lists for integrations, so I can feel safe in the knowledge that our legal software is always going to be top of the range.

Abdul Hafeez Darr - Director Blakewater Solicitors

Legal services provision is constantly changing – clients and customers are demanding more information, at a quicker rate – and we required a mobile application that puts clients at the centre of our service, but with the flexibility to suit the ever-changing conveyancing sector. After a lot of market research, we discovered the Access Legal Client Portal was a better option for our firm and our clients

Angelo Piccirillo - Partner and Co-founder AVRillo

Our new Practice Management Software, provided by Access Legal, helps up meet our targets and fuels our growth in various ways. It simplified the management of our IT solutions and took away the difficulty of liaising with different suppliers. Offloading everything to Access Legal in the cloud was probably one of our best business decisions.

Guy Adams - Managing Partner Pardoes Solicitors LLP

We felt that Access Legal provided a solution in their software that would evolve as the firm did. Stowe Family Law is the UK’s largest specialist family law firm – our goal was to become even bigger and we knew Access Legal would scale along with our own growth.

John Anderson - Digital Consultant Stowe Family Law

As an established practice, we continually develop our services to meet our clients' needs. Access Legal is a fantastic solution for us – its flexibility allows us to give a better, cost-effective service by enabling us to rapidly adapt to client and sector requirements.

Karon Harrison - IT Manager Hansells Solicitors and Financial Advisors

The decision to standardise on Access Legal as our overall claims management platform has been truly validated. The system is by some distance the leader in the claims sector.

Andrew Langford - Chief Information Officer Auxillis

We love how FD [Access Legal's legal accounts package] integrates with the case management system. We’ve never had to manually enter any information because the lawyer provides it all when they submit their e-chits via the case management system.
