(August 13, 2007) Houston, TX—Bridgeway, the leading provider of technology solutions for in-house legal departments, announced an important new innovation that streamlines the service of process function for in-house legal departments. Bridgeway’s matter management solution, eCounsel®, now offers an easier, smoother, and faster way for its clients to receive, track, and document service of process.
Bridgeway CEO Pat O’Donnell explains, “Automation of service of process is a meaningful step forward in cost containment within legal departments. This enhancement contributes to corporate compliance enforcement and ensures immediate and effective communication of litigation notices.”
This innovation provides a secure way to retrieve service of process along with documents for processing with eCounsel. Service of process is retrieved automatically from registered agents’ web services, and duplicate data entry is eliminated. Furthermore, the enhancement easily converts service of process into matters, which can then be tracked and queried, or routed to an existing matter.
“National Registered Agents, Inc. is excited about integrating its service of process expertise with Bridgeway’s eCounsel® solution. As innovative leaders in our respective industries, we are pleased to bring our services together and provide legal departments a more efficient and cost effective way to manage their businesses,” states Stephen Craig, Executive Vice President and Founder of National Registered Agents, Inc.
According to O’Donnell, “Bridgeway is the first in the industry to provide a solution that integrates with National Registered Agents Inc. (NRAI), CT Corporation, and Corporation Service Company (CSC).”
