Kingsley Napley LLP
Bridging the Gap with MatterSphere Case Management Portal

Kingsley Napley LLP is a 150-lawyer firm based in London with a national reputation for its clinical negligence, corporate and commercial, criminal litigation, dispute resolution, employment, family, immigration, private client, regulatory and professional discipline, public law and real estate work.

The Challenge
Although Kingsley Napley has been using the MatterSphere system to handle both case management and document management for several years, management recognized a need for a modern client portal within two of the firm's 11 practice areas.

The Solution
The ideal portal solution for the firm was to provide clients:

  • The ability to initiate a matter by providing the appropriate case details
  • Visibility of relevant case details and documentation, including edit permissions on specific fields/areas where their input may be required
  • Access to customized reports at the touch of a button
  • Transparency of case progression

With the firm already an established MatterSphere user, they were naturally very interested in the new MatterSphere portal functionality, which enables the creation of dedicated portals that give clients secure, single sign-on, 24x7 access to their ongoing cases so that they can directly track progress. In 2011, they began working with MatterSphere to develop customized portals for their Regulatory and Immigration teams.
