As a modern law firm focused on reducing risk and efficiently delivering legal services to their clients, Fernald Law Group uses LawToolBox deadline calculators based on the applicable rules of civil procedure to automatically generate their deadlines. Because LawToolBox deadline management tools are embedded directly in their Outlook Inbox where legal professionals spend a large portion of their day, tools to manage deadlines are always at their fingertips!
Fernald Law Group has a complex litigation practice, and they use LawToolBox to manage rules-based deadlines, edit deadlines, add judge-specific scheduling orders, and track ad hoc miscellaneous events like client meetings and deposition dates. Importantly, deadlines synchronize to the calendars for all team members.
LawToolBox delivers several benefits to Fernald Law Group that not only include saving time by streamlining the calculation of deadlines, but also creating a culture of accountability through a centralized deadline management system. These efficiencies are passed on to the firm’s clients, and by automating the calculation of deadlines, the firm can spend more time on the substantive issues that will ultimately win or lose a case.
“The ease of use, added features and back up calendaring obtained through LawToolBox in the cloud is a critical tool for our Firm. The ability to automate my case deadlines by matter from my Outlook Inbox makes it easy and gives peace of mind that I’ve got my deadlines covered.” – Brandon C Fernald
