Leading U.S. law firm Buchalter has selected 3E®, the market-leading financial and practice management solution from Elite, as its foundational technology platform for the future. In addition, the use of Elite’s fully integrated time recording solution, which provides passive time capture through Always-on Time capabilities, will help Buchalter streamline its time-keeping process. Taken together, the new capabilities available within 3E will enable the firm to boost efficiency and improve profitability.
Founded in 1933, Buchalter is a full-service business law firm representing local, regional, national, and international clients in a multitude of practice areas and their subspecialties, among them: Bank and Finance, Corporate, Health Care, Litigation, Insolvency and Financial Law, Intellectual Property, Labor and Employment, Real Estate, and Tax and Estate Planning. Buchalter has more than 500 attorneys with offices in California, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, and Washington.
The firm set a goal to replace its existing practice management platform with a future-proof solution which would offer it both enhanced capabilities and greater flexibility facilitating the firm’s growth. By moving to the cloud with 3E, Buchalter will gain new, market-leading functionality, including advanced analytics and real-time reporting that provides greater insight and visibility than ever before.
More widely, the firm will be supported by a fully managed service provided by Elite, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform. Offering nearly unlimited scale, 24/7 monitoring, and advanced security that is unmatched in the industry, 3E in the cloud also provides automated workflows, automatic upgrades, and quick access to new functionality.
Buchalter will also be adopting eBillingHub®, Elite’s market-leading electronic billing solution designed specifically for law firms. Cloud-based and fully integrated with 3E, eBillingHub will enable the firm to transform and significantly streamline its existing billing processes.
“As we looked toward the future, it was key that we put in place a best-in-class technology platform at the heart of our firm, upon which we can build as we continue to grow and evolve,” said Jonathan Hawkins, Senior Director of Finance and Administration. “Moving to the cloud with 3E and eBillingHub was the right choice for us and promises to transform how our firm operates. The powerful reporting and analytics capabilities within 3E will provide us with critical data and information, enabling us to move faster, gain efficiency, and provide our clients with an even better experience.”
“We look forward to introducing our clients to the 3E and eBillingHub capabilities in the near future,” added Adam Bass, President and Chief Executive Officer of Buchalter.
