A international legal practice based in London needed a system that would help them track clients and cases. An existing system built using Filemaker no longer met their needs and they were unable to contact the developers of this system for support or enhancements.

An evaluation of standard legal practice management software had revealed that this was expensive and provided many features that were not required, whilst lacking some that were considered vital.

• Quinata developed a comprehensive system covering:
• Client details
• Case details
• Billable hours worked on each case
• Disbursements
• Invoicing
• Staff time recording and training.

The system was developed using a Microsoft SQL Server database, with Access front ends allowing all ten members of staff to use the system.
