There is a new collaborator in LawRD blog: Gustavo Rocha.

Gustavo Rocha is a lawyer and consultant in management, IT and quality for law firms. He’s the author of Gestão.Adv.br , a blog through which he aims to spread and  “Bind legal knowledge with management and administrative know-how, along with IT and management tools (…)”

His expert voice has joined LawRD blog in order to enrich it with his insights on IT concerning the legal world.

We are most pleased to give this news. Brazil has been a target market to LawRD. Making LawRD available in Portuguese, as it is spoken on that big country, was just the first step. Adding this new voice is the second step towards adding value to all readers of LawRD’s blog.

With the Fall of 2009 big news arose in LawRD. A new website to start with:

A much more insightful interface inviting those willing to see, test and adopt LawRD: there is an introduction video available, features are displayed in screens, security issues are shown in a bigger detail and depth, and we’ve added a FAQ area.

On our new website law firms and lawyers will find a rather useful feature: a Demo Account. The Demo Account is preset with believable data from a fictitious law firm, so that tasks and expenses can be inserted on timesheets, billing sheets can be issued and reports created by LawRD can be checked. Thus, our future clients can, effortlessly, apprise LawRD and confirm its reporting capabilities and what a childs play it is to log tasks and expenses into matters.

To try the demo account just click on

and, depending on the language the site is beeing seen, a demo presentation will run in english, portuguese or spanish:

And the Fall 09 news aren’t over yet: kepp posted to this blog. Soon we’ll announce newer features on LawRD.
