CASE STUDY
Nabarro LLP
MatterSphere Making Matter Management Work in a Big Law Environment
Nabarro LLP is a major UK commercial law firm specializing in corporate, commercial property, environmental, litigation, and dispute resolution.
The Challenge
In late 2010, Nabarro was presented with two separate business drivers. The first came from specific client demands for a new approach to the way the firm managed high-volume personal injuries claims. Complicating the situation, the firm had the added pressure of implementing a solution by July 1, 2011.
The Solution After carefully evaluating the market, Nabarro selected MatterSphere, an industry-leading practice and matter management platform. MatterSphere was created by FWBS and acquired by Thomson Reuters in 2011. MatterSphere made the top of the list because it has the ability to easily integrate with the firm's existing systems (including both Elite Enterprise and 3E practice management systems, the Hewlett Packard Autonomy iManage document management system and Microsoft Outlook, to maximize the firm's current technology investments, connect siloed applications, and to unite front and back office operations.
