Mourant Upgrades to 3E for Advanced Functionality

Leading Law Firm Benefits from Transparency of Financial and Practice Management Data across Multiple Business Units

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22, 2009 – Mourant du Feu & Jeune , a leading offshore law firm that provides advice to the world’s top banks and financial institutions, major corporations, fund promoters and high net worth individuals, has completed its implementation of ELITE 3E. Firm management now has real-time visibility into all business units plus the ability to design workflows around specific business processes.

“Elite is a market-leading provider of financial and practice management systems, and we were impressed with 3E’s ability to give us better user definition and information management capabilities,” said Tim Haley, head of Business Change for Mourant du Feu & Jeune. “In addition, implementing this system has eliminated our dependence on our own unsustainable development programme.” Previously, the firm used a proprietary practice management system integrated with Microsoft Dynamics general ledger system.

Established in 1947 and headquartered in Jersey, Channel Islands, Mourant du Feu & Jeune employs more than 250 staff across four offices. The firm is consistently ranked in the top tier for banking and finance, corporate/commercial, employment, investment funds and structured finance and securitization in Jersey by the Legal 500, and in the first tier for corporate and finance in Jersey, Channel Islands Law (London), dispute resolution and investment funds by Chambers UK.

“Mourant du Feu & Jeune is a great example of how a firm can customize 3E to fit very specific business needs and have a direct impact on firm efficiencies,” said Kim Massana, senior vice president and general manager, Elite. “It has been a pleasure working closely with their team on this rollout. We are very proud of the accomplishments so far.”

ELITE 3E offers powerful core financial and practice management features and built-in application development capabilities—all seamlessly integrated into one high-performance system. Designed from the ground up on Microsoft .NET, 3E provides an integrated development environment that enables firms to become more agile in responding to client needs. A full suite of capabilities are delivered through a consistent web-based user experience that allows staff to easily track and manage activity on a multi-office, global scale.
