LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8, 2011 – Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, today announced that international law firm Minter Ellison has selected ELITE 3E as its financial and practice management platform. Minter Ellison is one of the largest full-service legal groups in the Asia Pacific region.
“Our decision to implement 3E was based on its capabilities to meet our strategic objectives,” said Tony Brennan, Minter Ellison's COO / CFO. “We need a platform that will deliver the flexibility to meet our clients' requirements, the functionality to manage an international firm with multi-jurisdictional requirements, and the ability to leverage new technology in the future."
John Weber, Minter Ellison’s Chief Executive Partner, noted that the firm has already deployed Thomson Reuters' Hubbard One suite, which is the premier provider of marketing, business development and practice management software. "Adding the 3E platform to the mix made a lot of sense. This is an investment with long-term benefits for our clients and it supports our One Firm strategy. "
Kim Massana, president of Elite, welcomed Minter Ellison as a significant new client. "We are delighted that this prestigious Australian law firm has chosen our 3E financial and practice management platform to support its business across offices and jurisdictions. Minter Ellison is the second major law firm in Australia to select Elite in the past 12 months. We're excited to be working with them to deploy 3E’s leading edge technology."
