New Zealand’s Crown Law Office Deploys ELITE 3E

LOS ANGELES, June 8, 2009 – The New Zealand Crown Law Office has implemented ELITE 3E® as the platform for its new financial management system. Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, is a worldwide provider of integrated practice and financial management systems for professional services firms.

“For our organization, the deployment of Elite 3E means it’s about managing our work better as well as being in a position to prepare for the future growth of our firm,” said Diana Pryde, practice manager, Crown Law. “We expect 3E will help us more efficiently organize, track and manage the information we need, throughout the entire lifecycle of every matter. 3E, with its embedded business process automation and advanced reporting capabilities, will give us the technology to maintain our high ranking and extend our levels of customer satisfaction.”

Crown Law has more than 200 people on staff, half of whom are lawyers. Based in Wellington, the office primarily practices public and constitutional law as well as providing support for Crown Solicitors that work on its behalf undertaking prosecutions.

“Crown Law’s successful implementation further solidifies Elite 3E as the new solution of choice for law firms globally, and is the first of several firms to ‘go live’ in the Asia Pacific region over the coming months,” said Kim Massana, senior vice president and general manager, Elite. “We’re pleased to be partnering with Crown Law New Zealand and look forward to a successful and long term relationship.”

Editor’s note: Implementations of ELITE 3E are ongoing around the world, with numerous firms scheduled to be running on the platform soon. Visit www.elite.com/newspress/ to get the most current information on the latest firms to purchase and implement ELITE 3E.
