Leading national law firm Blake Morgan LLP has completed the first phase of their transition to the Peppermint legal services platform. This important milestone for the firm marks the start of an ongoing technological journey that will underpin the firm’s future growth strategy and help to continuously evolve and innovate the client experience.
Staff who have transferred to the new platform will now be able to benefit from a single time recording tool, method of billing and approach to closure and archiving of matters.
The client matter inception has been developed to provide an end to end process that captures the information required by their legal teams and will also provide the basis for the firm to utilise the built in CRM database capabilities in Peppermint in the future.
The next phase of the project will see the firm upgrade to PeppCX - the next generation of Practice Management System (PMS). It is built on the latest Microsoft technology and brings with it improved usability, searching and performance as well as introducing a new mobile capability.
Mike Wilson, Managing Partner of Blake Morgan, commented “The transition to Peppermint is an important investment for our firm. Our ethos of putting the client first relies on seamless cross working across all service areas and the new platform will enable us to provide a first class client experience.
"We are pleased to report that the first phase of the project has been a success and we are now moving into the second phase of our plans which will see us extending the use, and value, of the Peppermint platform across the firm.
"I would like to thank the Peppermint team for their professionalism and expert technical support in delivering phase one of the project."

This strategy will enable us to benefit from the latest industry standard technology that will continuously improve the way we work and evolve the services we deliver to clients.
