Darryl Wilkes, Director of the firm, says, “We are very proud to have grown new instructions 185% in just the last four years and, with a robust plan in place and further offices opening shortly, we expect that growth to continue. Naturally we are scaling our business to meet the demands of that growth which means we have to ensure we have best in class systems in place. We selected SOS Legal to replace a number of systems as a single source for all matters. With all instructions being progressed through SOS, we are better placed to ensure our team are much more efficient. This will only benefit our clients who are demanding faster responses and better tech solutions that enable them to access information, updates and more, digitally.”

Darryl cites connections as crucial to the future success of firms, commenting, “Much of our decision was influenced by how SOS see connecting software together for the future of the legal market. In parallel SOS demonstrated an understanding of how a reliable solution must be supported with great service beyond, what was, a very successful implementation. The ability to work collaboratively is key for us and we are seeing SOS respond very positively to this requirement. Excitingly, we’re already talking about what is next, including document bundling and eSignatures which will certainly be well received by our internal teams.”

Paul Birch, BDM at SOS Legal, comments, “Darryl makes a very important point regarding consumers’ demand for better service from law firms. This expectation has a domino effect on what is expected from legal tech providers.

Those demands are not limited to just the software, with firms needing more connections to ensure a progressive approach to make all processes more efficient.”
