Elite Dominates AmLaw 100 and 200 Top Law Firms in United States

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21, 2009 – Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, is pleased to report a large majority of the AmLaw 100 and 200 firms as customers of its financial and practice management software solutions. Based on the 2009 results, Elite customers account for 64 percent of the Top 50, 70 percent of the Top 100 and 65 percent of the Top 200. These numbers represent a long-standing track record of the top U.S. law firms implementing Elite’s financial management system to fully run its operations rather than owning a single module from a provider.

“Elite continues to experience success amongst the top U.S. law firms due to our applied knowledge of how firms practice law and manage their business. Elite Enterprise, and now our 3E platform, have earned a solid reputation as the leading software solutions for top firms,” said Kim Massana, senior vice president and general manager, Elite. “Particularly important in the current economic conditions, Elite stands out as the best solution to transform law firm business capabilities into a strategic advantage.”

As further evidence of its leadership position, Elite’s Financial and Practice Management market share in the Top 50, Top 100 and Top 200 is more than double that of its closest competitor. In addition, Elite was recently ranked as the number one time and billing software solution in the AmLaw Tech Survey.

The Elite family of products offer powerful core financial and practice management features that are seamlessly integrated on a single high-performance platform. Elite solutions, designed to maximize organizational efficiency and performance, are based on a deep understanding of how legal and professional services firms operate. Elite and its clients have received numerous industry awards, including consecutive Best in Class awards from the readers of Law Technology News.

The AmLaw rankings are based on gross revenue defined as fee income from legal work only. The lists are reported by staff members at Incisive Media's publications throughout the United States.
