FAQs

  • What benefits would our firm gain by moving to Legal Forms?

    Your firm will gain several key advantages.

    Efficiency and productivity will be boosted by allowing users to access all necessary information and form templates from anywhere that has an internet connection. Furthermore, cloud-based software enables easier collaboration, so teams can work together, or with clients, on document completion regardless of their physical location. Fee earners can use the significant time savings gained to focus on more critical tasks.

    Advanced reporting and analytics provide valuable insights into document usage, timelines, and outcomes. By providing critical performance data, Legal Forms can help law firms identify areas for improvement, whether firm-wide or on an individual basis.

    Overall, the advantages of using Legal Forms are numerous and can greatly improve operations, reduce costs, and enhance the client experience. As technology continues to advance, it becomes even more crucial for law firms to embrace new digital tools as they help firms stay competitive by meeting the ever-evolving needs of their teams and clients.

  • How can we be sure our information remains secure?

    You’ll be incorporating advanced security measures such as encryption and access controls that ensure sensitive information remains protected at all times. Both fee earners and clients can be assured that confidential data is secure.

    In addition, Cloud-based backups ensure that information is not lost in the case of any unforeseen situations. You can rest assured that data can be quickly recovered, allowing you to continue operations.

  • How easy is it to move from desktop software to Legal Forms?

    Legal Forms as a natural progression for users of the established Oyez and Laserform desktop forms applications. It provides an ideal solution for firms that require the same valued content, but delivered as a modern web application.

    If you have an existing integration with Laserform, during on-boarding you simply integrate with Legal Forms API’s. Instead of the software calling the Laserform API and sending field data, it can call the Legal Forms API, and send the same field data. Although the field codes are not the same as those in OyezForms, the process of calling the Legal Forms API, and sending field data, is the same.

    Whether you firm is moving to Legal Forms from a legacy Advanced forms package, or you’re new to Advanced, you will remain supported throughout. Our teams work diligently with every customer to ensure user firms receive a concise response to any queries they may have.

  • Will Legal Forms integrate with our current software?

    We know that firms who wish to move to a more modern forms package need it to integrate easily with the systems they already use. We’re here to help you achieve that. Other solutions, like practice and case management and document management, integrate easily with Legal Forms. This allows for a seamless workflow and further time-saving efficiency benefits like data pre-population.
