Some of the Many Things Efficient Legal Can Do for You

Award winning data and document migration services and workflow design

Migration Services

At Efficient Legal, our services are bespoke, but our prices are based not on some cookie cutter formula based on "number of users" or "volume of documents."  We provide in-depth analysis of your needs and data PRIOR to giving you an estimate and proposal.

Efficient Legal uses best-in-class published tools and customized scripts to move case management, document management, accounting, discovery and other packages from both old-school on-premises and cloud based to most of the key players in today’s market.

Whether you are migrating from one system to another or bringing a new partner and associated data into your organization, we can help get the pieces to fit. 

Case management workflow design

Workflow and Customizations

Whether you are new to firm/case management or the resident guru of workflow, there are always things that can be improved.  Our team has designed databases and workflow for decades.  We can help you keep things automated, consistent, up to date as you migrate.  Or we can help you add Customer Relationship Management and automate your onboarding.  Imagine forms being filled out that actually populate the database FOR YOU! 


Document assembly, document automation, e-signature.

Document Automation - It Can Be Easier!

It is more than just the mail merge concept, though that should be part of it. It is more than ease of formatting, though that is something that legal professionals should not have to sweat the details on at all.   With about as much effort as creating one brief or contract from scratch, the entire process can be standardized, formatted and filled with the most up-to-date facts available, and ready for re-use.  Meet with our published authors on the subject and let us show you how to take the inaccuracy, drudgery and stress out of document formatting and content writing. Imagine being able to actually bill the time you spend.

Ask us how we can help reduce drafting time down to minutes.

Platform/Software Experience

Oh, the data we have migrated!

The Journey Has Been Long

We have been around a while.  QUITE a while. Some of us started on IBM Electric Typewriters.   We have lived through all the changes, weathered and learned from them.  Some of us are pre-personal computer and still remember Wang, Lanier, DisplayWrite and other bits of geek nostalgia.
