Am Law 200 law firm Sullivan & Worcester is moving from the on-prem to cloud version of  [url=https://www.elite.com/products/3e]3E®[/url], the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite, to support its ambitions for the future.

First established more than eight decades ago, [url=https://www.sullivanlaw.com/]Sullivan & Worcester[/url] is a global law firm with approximately 200 lawyers working from its offices in Boston, London, New York, Tel Aviv, and Washington, D.C. The firm’s clients—which include several Fortune 500 companies, leading financial services firms and asset managers, boards of directors, and emerging businesses—rely on Sullivan’s ability to navigate complex legal and operational landscapes, the impeccable judgment of its lawyers, and its commitment to best?in?class client service.

Sullivan has been a user of the on-prem version of 3E since 2020, and has increasingly seen the value of making the move wholly into the cloud. The firm wanted to maintain the power and agility of the 3E platform but also benefit from the market-leading security and enhanced flexibility which is offered by the cloud. Now, the firm will have greater insight into its business operations and performance, even more tangible productivity gains and ROI, and security and reliability which lead the industry.

More specifically, 3E in the cloud—which is built on the market-leading Microsoft® Azure® platform—provides state-of-the-art physical and digital protection of firm data with security practices and processes protected by top security measures, including data isolation, data encryption, inter-process communication, access control, and secure coding and testing.

“3E has been a core technology foundation for our financial and business operations for many years, and we appreciate the role it has played in helping our firm to move forward,” says Geoff Matherson, Chief Financial Officer at Sullivan & Worcester. “Moving to a fully cloud-based model of 3E absolutely was the natural next step for us as we continue to grow and evolve.”

Leading New Zealand law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts has chosen [url=https://www.elite.com/products/3e]3E®[/url], the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite, as its cloud-based technology foundation for the future.

[url=https://www.minterellison.co.nz/]MinterEllisonRuddWatts[/url] is a top-tier New Zealand law firm known for its excellence, innovation, and commercially astute legal advice. The full-service law firm works with clients across a number of key sectors, including infrastructure, government, health, banking and financial services, managed funds, technology, and energy.

In selecting its new financial and practice management solution, MinterEllisonRuddWatts sought a platform that would enable significant efficiencies and enhanced reporting capabilities. By deploying 3E Data Insights with 3E, the firm will gain more powerful analytics and reporting than ever before with instant, graphic reports to facilitate faster decision-making.

In addition, a move to passive time recording—using the Always-on Time capability available in 3E—will enable MinterEllisonRuddWatts to capture billable activities more accurately and free up the firm’s lawyers to focus on providing an outstanding client experience and value-add activities.

More widely, the robust and open architecture of 3E—built on modern, secure APIs—will enable the firm to link many of its other technology applications to 3E, helping to create a more seamless experience for users across the business.

"Moving to 3E in the cloud is the right solution to meet our needs, both for today and into the future. It provides us with a powerful platform as we continue to grow,” said Andrew Poole, Chief Executive of MinterEllisonRuddWatts.

“The Elite team has outlined a robust roadmap for 3E, which is already the legal profession’s leading financial and practice management offering in the cloud. The team is clearly embracing an open architecture approach and the application of new technologies and innovation such as machine learning, both of which are really attractive to us.”

Over 325 attendees descended on the Park Plaza London Riverbank Hotel last week for this year’s Elite’s VANTAGE London conference. The London event was the first official VANTAGE conference held since 2019, and it is the first of three major VANTAGE events taking place in 2024.

This year’s event saw a record level of customer attendance, as well as participation by more than a dozen organizations from across Elite’s wider ecosystem of partners. As well as a keynote address from CEO Mark Dorman and Elite’s executive leadership team, delegates were provided a comprehensive overview of the product roadmap and Elite’s recently refreshed brand. Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to participate in more than a dozen educational and breakout sessions on numerous Elite products, as well as topics ranging from innovation and cloud intelligence to best practices for migrating from on-prem to the cloud.

In addition, Elite debuted its new [url=https://www.elite.com/news/elite-launches-premier-delivery-partner-program]Premier Delivery Partners Program[/url], which enables customers to work directly with two initial services partners—[url=https://harborglobal.com]Harbor[/url] and [url=https://helm360.com]Helm360[/url]—for delivery of end-to-end implementations of Elite’s 3E cloud solution. Over time, the Premier Delivery Partners Program will expand to incorporate additional services partners in response to customer needs.

VANTAGE London 2024 took place as momentum continues to grow for the recently independent Elite business. To date, Elite products are used by 85% of the Global 100, and over 48M invoices, representing a total value of $54Bn, have been processed using eBillingHub—the market-leading electronic billing solution built specifically for law firms.

Customers can register online for the remaining 2024 VANTAGE events in [url=https://na.eventscloud.com/website/66023/]Sydney[/url] (March 18) and [url=https://na.eventscloud.com/website/65603/]Las Vegas[/url] (May 13-15).

London law firm Forsters has selected the market-leading financial and practice management solution [url=https://www.elite.com/products/3e]3E®[/url] from Elite as a foundational technology component of its wider ”true cloud” SaaS strategy. In addition, the firm is poised to adapt its billing processes through the adoption of [url=https://www.elite.com/products/ebillinghub]eBillingHub®[/url], the world’s leading e-billing solution for law firms. 

[url=https://www.forsters.co.uk/]Forsters[/url], a leading UK law firm, has a team of more than 300 lawyers and 500 professionals across multiple practice areas. 

In selecting 3E, Forsters wanted to develop its technological foundation and operational efficiency. The functionality of 3E is well suited to handle the firm’s needs. "It was clear to us that 3E is a functionally rich finance solution, with standard functionality in the cloud that wouldn’t require bespoke development or customisation,” said Aamir Shaheen, Head of Finance at Forsters. 

Crucially, the true cloud architecture which 3E offers was aligned with the firm’s overall cloud strategy, enabling interoperability with other systems and tools through open APIs. In addition, the connectivity with the Microsoft® Power Platform® will enable the firm to build powerful, bespoke PowerApps. 


"3E in the cloud is one of the very few true SaaS financial and practice management solutions applicable to law firms of our size and complexity,” said Anthony Stables, CIO at Forsters. “Cloud solutions should be able to work seamlessly with each other, and the 3E APIs and integration capabilities give us the confidence that we can develop true end-to-end automation capabilities as we move forward.” 


Data security was also a key factor in the firm’s decision to move to 3E. “Security is key for law firms when partnering with any cloud provider, and we feel confident that Elite is the best guardian of our clients’ data,” said Stables. Forsters will also benefit from faster, automatic upgrades which come from choosing 3E in the cloud. 

As well as moving to 3E, Forsters will be adopting Elite’s electronic billing solution eBillingHub, an intuitive, web-based platform which will enable an overhaul of the firm’s current approach to billing. Once implemented, all the firm’s e-bills will be managed through a single, easy-to-use interface which is integrated with 3E. The result will be streamlined billing processes, reduced time to payment and faster cash collection.

Our customers can now engage directly with a single partner services team throughout their entire implementation, resulting in a more streamlined, seamless and practical implementation experience. Within our broader partner ecosystem, we aim to support and enable all partners who wish to extend their capability to successfully deliver our solution, and we believe our customers benefit from being able to choose which company best suits their delivery needs.”

Norm Mullock, Global Head of Corporate Development and Alliances, Harbor, said, “Migrating to the cloud requires a specialized approach and skills. Harbor provides end-to-end services that enable thoughtful planning and execution – assessing business and technology requirements, identifying the best strategy, executing on the project, and providing ongoing support and services. Our team of 70+ Elite experts has a proven track record of working with Elite’s technology and delivering successful client outcomes. We’re delighted to elevate our partnership further with Elite to deliver the benefits of cloud to 3E clients globally.”

Bim Dave, Executive Vice President, Helm360, commented, "We're excited to be part of Elite's Premier Delivery Partners Program. This program allows us to leverage our global reach and expertise in implementing Elite’s 3E cloud solution and delivering exceptional value to its customers. Helm360's proven track record in cloud deployments, combined with Elite's innovative technology, will ensure a seamless and successful experience for Elite’s customers, regardless of their location."

Updated branding reflects next step in company’s journey to deliver innovative digital financial solutions to world’s leading law firms

NEW YORK (January 30, 2024) – [url=http://www.elite.com/]Elite[/url], a leading provider of financial management and business operations solutions to the world’s most successful law firms, today unveiled a new brand, logo and visual identity. As a newly independent legal tech company, the refreshed brand reflects Elite’s heightened commitment to delivering cutting-edge digital financial solutions to its customers, bringing together powerful data, advanced insights and intuitive tools – all on one platform – to help the world’s leading law firms drive productivity, innovation and profits for the future.

The updated branding includes a new logo crafted as an ambigram, designed to appear symmetrical from left to right while still reading “Elite.” This approach draws a viewer’s eye to the center of the logo, serving as a bold iconic visual metaphor for how Elite’s products sit at the heart of the operational effectiveness of the most successful law firms around the world. Additionally, the Elite brand comes to life visually through the use of a new distinctive deep purple color and vibrant, impactful photography and imagery.

“Introducing our new branding is one of the many things we are doing as we continue to focus on getting closer to our customers, delivering new, innovative products and solutions, and driving future business growth,” said Mark Dorman, CEO of Elite. “Building on Elite’s rich heritage and well-established leadership position in the legal tech industry, we want to convey our customer-centric focus and Elite’s ability to be astute, adaptive, and attentive – as we are at the heart of the world’s most successful law firms, accelerating their business and keeping one beat ahead in meeting their business and operational needs.”

Elite solutions are the trusted technological foundation for a significant proportion of the world’s largest and most innovative law firms, with a customer base comprising more than three-quarters of the Am Law 200 and four-fifths of the Global 200 law firms. As it looks toward the future, Elite is poised to capitalize on its unique position at the center of its customers’ financial, operational and technological infrastructure, as well as the global legal industry more widely.

Building on a seven-decade legacy of market leadership and innovation, Elite became an independent business on June 1, 2023, after the acquisition of a majority stake by global alternative asset management firm TPG. Since then, Elite has launched two new AI-driven product innovations for its 3E and eBillingHub solutions, made a number of appointments to its senior leadership team and announced the relaunch of its global series of VANTAGE learning events in 2024.

Elite, a leading provider of financial and practice management solutions to the world’s most successful law firms, has brought the power of AI and machine learning to eBillingHub, the market-leading e-billing platform, to significantly accelerate the categorization and analysis of rejected invoices. 

Within the latest version of eBillingHub, users are able to addresses the challenge of non-uniform electronic billing rejections, by leveraging Microsoft® Azure OpenAI technology to automatically categorize rejected invoices. More specifically, law firms can easily and more quickly address rejected invoices through automatic, AI-powered categorization of the reason codes, which can then swiftly be reviewed and addressed by a biller.

In addition, an enhanced dashboard is now available within eBillingHub, providing a brand-new visual presentation of the number of rejected invoices in the tracking page. Users can instantly see categorized rejections at-a-glance—both by rejection category and by vendor—and are able to click through and quickly act on the rejected invoices.

Taken together, this new AI-powered categorization functionality promises to significantly streamline the e-billing workflow, enabling e-billing teams to quickly address rejections by vendor within a specific category and allowing firms to get paid faster.

“We worked directly with customers to solve an important pain-point for their e-billing processes, namely, how to automate and accelerate the handling of larger volumes of rejected invoices,” said Ahad Shafiq, senior product manager for eBillingHub at Elite. “This partnership approach, coupled with the power of AI and machine learning, have provided an innovative solution which further transforms and optimizes the e-billing process.”

This is the second AI-based innovation to be unveiled by Elite recently. In August, the company launched a new automated time entry capability for users of its flagship financial and practice management solution 3E, in which generative AI technology from the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service creates draft timecard narratives with just the click of a button.

“This new application of AI within eBillingHub is just the latest example of how we are innovating and pushing the boundaries, in order to reduce administrative tasks and speed up business processes for our customers,” added Elisabet Hardy, head of product at Elite.

Elite Unveils New Generative AI Time Entry Capability

Ohio-based law firm Graham Law was an early adopter of ProLaw, the law practice management and finance software from Elite. It first implemented the solution in the late 1990s. Lawyers, paralegals, administrative, and accounting staff now use ProLaw for a wide range of office requirements, including case management, cost recovery, docketing, and time entry. Today, the firm — which specializes in personal injury and comprises workers’ compensation, disability, criminal defense, and trusts and estates practices — is still finding new ways to use ProLaw to underpin success.	

Transparent case management and cohesive functionality are two of the most significant benefits to the firm. "It's our main case management software. Everyone uses it every day: our attorneys, our paralegals, our accountant, our support staff," says Wendy Ashby, Administrative Assistant. She added, “One of the biggest attractions was that the front-office and back-office functionality work together. You don’t need a separate back-office accounting system from the case management side."

Wendy says, "We could find all of the cases in one place and see what each other were doing. There would be less repetition – everyone could use the same forms and templates, and we’d be able to easily track what was going on in each case. Plus, it would streamline processes."

What are the top 3 aspects of ProLaw for your firm?

According to Wendy, “The case management, time entry, and cost recovery capabilities of ProLaw are extremely important.

“Attorneys like the fact that they can pull up documents quickly and make changes, or if they are new to a case, they can easily see what progress has already happened so far and get up to speed quickly. They can also enter their time as they go along and keep track of their hours on each matter in a straightforward manner.

“When it comes to tracking fees that a department or attorney has brought in, ProLaw makes it easy to retrieve this information. Individuals and the firm can see where we stand against goals for the year and how well we’re recovering costs.”

Wendy: “In recent years we’ve started to use it more for marketing. For example, we created a custom tab in contacts to store information about how new clients found out about the firm, and the contacts database provides a vital source of information for following up on leads. We’ve built up a lot of client information in ProLaw over the last 25 years, and we want to make use of that data in our marketing.

“Using ProLaw has created efficiencies by removing the duplication of effort and making processes faster. For example, adjusting how expenses or receivables are managed on the accounting side, or eliminating the need to send emails and save documents separately on the case management side because it integrates with Microsoft Outlook and Word and so on. And if an attorney goes to a conference and they learn of a new form, we can put it in ProLaw so everyone can use it."

Since 1990, Ohio-based firm has been finding new ways to use ProLaw to underpin success.

In order to drive its business to the next level in terms of flexibility, security, and profitability, Top 200 UK law firm Lee & Thompson is adopting 3E, the industry-leading, cloud-based enterprise business management solution from Elite.

Founded in 1983, Lee & Thompson is one of the UK’s leading law firms for the media, technology, and creative industries. The firm advises both talented individuals and innovative businesses, counting international media organizations, major brands, rights owners, production companies, design houses, record labels, media and tech entrepreneurs, and many of the world’s most successful creative talents among its clients.

Lee & Thompson sought a new, more flexible, and more resilient practice management solution to support the firm’s evolution toward hybrid working in a secure, seamless, and truly unified way. This meant bringing together business functions and processes—like accounting, file opening, time capture, matter management, WIP management, billing, expenses and disbursements, credit control, reporting, group/firm budgeting and forecasting, and process automation—all in one place and based flexibly and securely in the cloud.

By choosing 3E, Lee & Thompson will be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and offering cloud confidence with nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry.

“The approach that Elite has with 3E is clearly the best one for firms like us, allowing firms at a smaller level to benefit from being on the same platform that the most successful firms in the UK and the world are currently on,” said Simon Boyden, Chief Financial & Operations Officer at Lee & Thompson. “Aside from ensuring we are always up to date, 3E will have a transformative impact on our operational excellence, allowing more accurate time recording, enhancing our matter management, improving the visibility of profitability metrics, and speeding up our work-to-cash cycle. Ultimately this will enable us to focus on delivering a superior client experience.”

“It was essential for us to ensure that any platform to which we were moving was a true cloud solution and was extremely resilient and secure,” commented the firm’s Head of IT Rob Hilton. “We are confident that 3E Cloud represents a vastly superior choice in terms of cloud architecture. Its adoption will put our firm on the most robust and secure platform in the legal industry—both now and in the future.”

“3E has always been known in the industry as the solution of choice for larger law firms, therefore it is refreshing that an independent firm like L&T is now able to benefit from the same functionality through 3E,” added Head of Finance Martin Hare.
