Bundledocs announce software update specific to Scottish Court of Session requirements

We are delighted to announce that we have introduced an update specific to Scottish law firm customers. This latest update supports customers by addressing the requirements set out by the Scottish Court of Session - Scotland's supreme civil court.

Speaking on the latest update, Bundledocs CEO Brian Kenneally commented; “Meeting the needs of our customers is always our top priority. This latest update for Scottish law firms eradicates a previously laborious practice, ensuring that firms remain compliant, whilst saving time and reducing human error.”

The update includes a newly created ‘bates numbering’ feature which will ensure that e-bundles created are fully compliant with court requirements. Those familiar with the process of preparing documents for the Scottish Court of Session, will know that previous methods of creating bundles featuring bates numbering, were error prone and labour intensive. This latest feature assigns the bates number to all files automatically, including when additional files are added throughout all stages.

Now Bundledocs users will benefit from a streamlined process which ensures that firms can save considerable amounts of time while also eliminating manual errors. Bundledocs’ e-bundling solution streamlines the document creation process for lawyers and support staff, creating professional fully indexed, hyperlinked, and sectioned electronic casebooks.

Cloud-First Services Are Key To Creating An Agile Offering For Your Clients

Bundledocs_cloud_first_services_are_key_to_creating_an_agile_offering_to_clients.png

We know that technology is moving at an ever increasing pace globally. This can bring both challenges and opportunities for organisations, not least additional costs and skill requirements.

According to a recent report from Dell and Intel, the industry leaders of tomorrow are already using technology to gain and maintain a competitive advantage over their peers. It’s well documented that Cloud first services can offer an important source of strategic advantage and transform digital capabilities for businesses.

What do we mean by agile? Put it simply it’s the ability to move quickly and easily or in a business context, it’s a companies’ ability to identify and adapt to new opposition by implementing changes quickly and effectively.

But how can cloud solutions create a more agile offering for your clients?

Cloud platforms can help your business to activate new digital customer experiences in days rather than months and enable your teams to work seamlessly and collaboratively from any location. A study conducted by the Harvard Business Review found that business agility was the primary reason for 32% of respondents when choosing to adopt the cloud.

Forward-thinking businesses have already begun to incorporate cloud into their risk-assessment frameworks and decision making on risk. According to a recent report from Mckinsey Digital executives have traditionally been nervous to move to cloud because of security concerns whereas the reality now is that the security offered by cloud service providers often outstrips companies individual capacity.

Take Bundledocs for example, we have been awarded ISO 27001 certification, the recognised international standard for information security – the only electronic document bundling software to have received this accreditation. The certification is awarded to businesses that can prove their systems protect user information both internally and externally.

At Bundledocs, demand for our paperless solution has increased by over 40% in recent months as Covid 19 meant remote working became the norm for so many professionals in the legal space and beyond. By switching to our cloud based solution they now benefit from continuous software updates with new functionalities and features added regularly.

Bundledocs market leading cloud software is the ultimate tool for today’s paperless lawyer, now sold in over 30 countries worldwide - once you take the first step, the sky’s the limit when it comes to the advantages of the cloud.

How Can Law Firms Embrace More Sustainable Practices In Line With Global Ambition?

There has been a global shift when it comes to implementing more sustainable practises.  Law firms are no exception, with many now recognising that implementing sustainable business practises is vital to long term business success.

But what is sustainability and how can law firms better embrace it?

Sustainability is most often defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. The term sustainability is not only about individuals and environmental factors, but it also involves creating value for all stakeholders, be that through social purpose or maximising profits.

While the Sustainable Development Goals may initially appear challenging, here are some first steps that law firms can take to pursue more sustainable practices:

Embrace New Technologies

When it comes to integrating sustainable practises within a business – technology can play a really positive role. Many firms are already embracing digital solutions as the look to reduce their carbon footprint and better operate remotely. Where previously employees would travel to meetings, they are now conducted via online platforms such as Zoom and Teams. Last year for example, at Bundledocs we saw a 40% increase for our solutions, the dramatic shift to remote working gave businesses the push they needed to take advantage of the cloud.

 

Reduce Paper Use

The reduction of paper use in law firms is favourable all around - reducing direct environmental impact whilst also reducing business costs and increasing digital collaboration.

While this practise is beneficial for the environment it also assists in reducing overall costs for the business. One of our Bundledocs partners, Hilary Hallen, Senior Learning and Development Trainer, Knights PLC explains the benefit they saw “In addition to saving paper, there is also timesaving, which can be attributed to the technology, of course – and which in turn means a better experience for the person carrying out the task as part of their working day”.

Promote Diversity

Being sustainable does not focus solely on the environment. For law firms to implement effective sustainability strategies they must look at their internal practises. Many law firms are now making commitments to ensure that they prioritise diversity within their workplace affording equal opportunities to all. A diverse workforce ensures that all clients' needs can be met. To make progress within this area law firms are making a commitment and engaging with the Mansfield rule.

 

While making changes in terms of environmental impact are important – law firms cannot forget the power of engaging in social purpose to achieve their sustainability goals. Through implementing small changes – over time sustainability can become a greater part of the overall business strategy. Like all businesses law firms must start somewhere – so don’t put it off.
