FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In this first article in a series, Sarah Cox, Esq. focuses on Real Estate Practice Management with the help of software and other technologies. The complete articles will be published on the blog of Sarah Cox at https://SarahECoxBlog.blogspot.com

Technology is advancing, and the legal profession must keep up with these technological and societal changes. Many of us still remember when they first saw a personal computer, when cell phones became widely available, and when cell phones turned into smart phones that have become indispensable for many.

For a real estate law practice, incorporating technology can make the practice more efficient and increase client satisfaction. In fact, technology may enable the practitioner to exceed client expectations. Here are a few, simple-to-implement options.

Case Management Software

For real estate attorneys, long gone are the days of paper routing slips, desktop inboxes and consecutive reviews by paralegals and attorneys during which papers and files are shuffled back and forth. With case management software, incoming documents are reviewed in a pre-determined sequence or as authorized, and files or documents are updated the same way. The staff has real-time access to documents and status reports. Important dates are automatically entered into a calendar. Case Management Software also enables legal teams to focus on a pre-set process, thus saving time and energy, and greatly reducing the stress in this deadline-driven profession. Case Management Software can also greatly reduce costs for the law practice and the clients by standardizing and accelerating document creation and maintenance.

There are many different kinds of Case Management Software, some general ones such as:

https://www.clio.com
https://www.mycase.com
https://www.trialworks.com
https://www.cosmolex.com

However, a real estate law practice may require more specific software, such as:

Real Estate Closing Software: https://www.leap.us/areas-of-law/real-estate-closing-software/ or https://www.abacusnext.com/solutions/legal/real-estate-law-software

Practice Management Software for Real Estate Attorneys: https://www.smokeball.com/practice-areas/real-estate-law-software/

These are just a few examples, and should not be considered endorsements of any of these products. Each law practice should make sure to test them carefully before buying, and take advantage of the free test versions or consultations that many software providers offer as part of their sales process. Find the right software to fit your own needs and your client’s expectations

Research and Mobile Technology

Subscription research services such as LEXIS and Westlaw have been available to attorneys online for decades, gradually rendering hard copy law libraries obsolete. The internet has done for law what it has for every other area of modern life, providing instant access to information.
