M+K Selects ELITE 3E to Effectively Support Growth Goals

Australian-based Law Firm Invests in Advanced Practice Management System to Significantly Upgrade Functionality

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2009 – M+K Lawyers has joined a growing number of law firms to select ELITE 3E as the platform for its new practice management system. Elite, part of Thomson Reuters, is a worldwide provider of integrated practice and financial management systems for professional services firms.

“As a multi-office firm with plans for growth, we need a practice management platform that will easily scale as our business grows and also allow us to meet evolving and unanticipated client expectations. We have been constrained by our current system’s dated technology and its ‘band aid’ approach to new functionality,” said Len Methananda, Chief Financial Officer, M+K. “With 3E’s single business platform based on proven technology, and Elite’s partnership approach, we’re confident this system will help take our firm to the next level and provide a stable long term practice management platform for our business.”

M+K Lawyers is a commercial law firm focused on advising growing corporations around Australia, including public companies, subsidiaries of multinationals, privately owned businesses and local authorities. In business for 104 years and with more than 70 lawyers, including 28 principals, the firm has offices in Melbourne, Dandenong (Vic), Sydney and North Sydney and provides a full range of commercial legal services.

“We are thrilled to add M+K to our growing customer list in the Asia Pacific region. More than ever law firms are aware how old technology can limit capacity for growth, and that at some point generational change is required. The firm’s decision to invest in 3E rather than undergo another upgrade with their legacy system Aderant Expert is a clear indication of the value in deploying an entirely new practice management platform,” said Kim Massana, senior vice president and general manager, Elite. “We look forward to working closely with M+K’s team to implement the system so they can start reaping the benefits of 3E.”
