Summer 2009 brings great new features to LawRD:

• New wizard when adding a new matter: now adding a new matter can be done in Quick mode or in Advanced mode. This improvement makes the different steps when adding a new matter, much simpler. For instance, selecting which team will work on that matter is now more intuitive.
  

• Matter types: this feature has a double goal: to categorize matters- a simple typification- and to allow flat-fee matters, payment plans included.
  

• New ways of billing type: adding to hourly rate and retainers, LawRD now enables matters to be billed on a flat fee or contingency fee basis. In matters billed by the hour, it is now possible to set a success fee.
  

• More ways of billing matters by the hour: when billing matters by the hour, the hourly rate can be differenciated accordingly to the employee that acted on it. Distinct hourly rates to different matters from the same client, can now be defined, too.
  

• Billing wizard: due to the broadening of the billing choices, a 3 step wizard is now available when issuing billing sheets.
  

• Time logging delegating option: it is now possible to delegate the logging of time to anyone else with clearence.
  

This development aims to answer the needs of our users, conveying a wider flexibility concerning fees and payment plans.

A much more detailed presentation will be available on this blog under Quick Guide.
