ClientPay for ProLaw Provides Easy and Efficient Credit Card Payment Processing

Fully Integrated Credit Card Solution Now Available through Elite Partner BankCard Services Worldwide 

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10, 2012 – Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, today announced that the fully integrated credit card processing solution from BankCard Services Worldwide is now available for ProLaw clients. ClientPay™ for ProLaw® will offer significant benefits for clients by enabling them to take payments for billing invoices via credit card and loading those transactions directly into ProLaw’s accounting system – eliminating a time-consuming, manual process.

ClientPay for ProLaw is powered by BankCard Services Worldwide, Elite’s Integration Partner for payment processing solutions and market leader in innovative payment solutions. The fully integrated solution with ProLaw simplifies client’s electronic payments and automates the population of journals through a single point of entry.

“We are excited for ProLaw users to start benefitting from our ClientPay solution. We have a proven system that transforms credit card payments, which can be an error-prone and time-intensive task, into an efficient and cost-saving process,” said Jay Bruber, CEO of BankCard Services Worldwide. “Based on our extensive experience, we are confident this solution can save ProLaw clients time and money.”

“Accepting credit card payments can give law firms a competitive edge, but it can also drain resources if no central processing system is established,” said Cary Burch of Elite. “Our integration with BankCard Services Worldwide reduces the amount of time and effort required to manage credit card payments and improves client relationships with this type of payment option.”

ProLaw is an integrated software suite designed to automate the practice and manage the business of law. Comprehensive features simplify, streamline and coordinate the work of attorneys and staff in small and mid-size law firms, corporate legal departments and government law offices. Built entirely on Microsoft .NET, ProLaw combines case and matter management as well as time entry, billing and accounting capabilities within a single integrated solution. ProLaw and new ProLaw XII are fully integrated with Westlaw and new WestlawNext™ featuring WestSearch technology to streamline docketing and provide convenient legal research directly from the context of a matter.
