Overview - Legal Enterprise Management
You need it all, you need it now, and you need it integrated. At Bridgeway our solutions tie it all together-matter management, e-billing, legal hold, early case assessment, e-discovery, and corporate governance. We call it "Legal Enterprise Management." You will call it a new level of control over your in-house legal operations.
We Understand Your Challenges
At Bridgeway Software we understand the challenges legal departments face – and how to meet them. We've been serving in-house counsel and corporate governance professionals for over two decades. That experience has given us unparalleled insight into the real-world needs that you have and how we can help you.
- We understand that you're being asked to reduce costs and become more efficient, while maintaining a high level of service to your organization.
- We understand that you need a way to manage the wide variety of matter types your organization handles with the specific data you want to track for each matter.
- We understand that you have an obligation to preserve documents and other evidence and need to ensure that you are protected from sanctions.
- We understand that you want to perform early case assessments with tools that can analyze all your electronically stored information (ESI) and intelligently cull it down to reduce runaway e-discovery costs.
- We understand that you need your solution integrated with other enterprise systems such as e-mail, calendar, document management, enterprise portal, human resource, accounts payable, intellectual property management, claims management, risk management, and others.
- We understand that if you work with outside counsel you want to collaborate with them to share documents and receive budgets, status reports, and accrual information. You also have invoices coming in every month that you want electronically audited and routed for approval so your staff can more easily review and then approve or reject them. When there are problems with an invoice you want your system to seamlessly communicate the issues to your law firm to eliminate the wasted time going back and forth.
- We understand that legal spend management doesn't just mean managing outside counsel costs, but also includes e-discovery costs, IP foreign agent costs, internal resources costs, and other costs.
- We understand that you need all this information collected and presented in a way that will make your life easier and give you a way to document and report what is going on in your legal group.
