7 reasons why leading law firms gain greater value from LibertyLegal

In today’s fast-paced, information access and delivery environment, knowledge management and research services are critical to law firm success.  

Lawyers demand the right knowledge ‘at the click of a button’ and rely heavily on timely, pertinent knowledge to ensure competitive performance and practice growth.   

Asia Pacific Customer Relationship Director, Hillary Noye said Softlink’s LibertyLegal solutions enable law firms to manage and mobilise their knowledge to generate a greater return on their investments. 

Hillary said with budgets constantly under scrutiny, and cost savings a priority across firms globally, it is vitally important for knowledge managers to present their services in terms that the firm’s partners will understand – billable hours and performance.

“Softlink’s LibertyLegal solutions help knowledge professionals demonstrate the value of information services to the firm’s success, as well as, help to future-proof their services by improving accessibility through digital technology,” Hillary said.

“LibertyLegal offers a suite of functionally rich, scalable knowledge, content and library management solutions for law firms of all shapes and sizes.

“Whether your knowledge centre or law library offers a digital, traditional or hybrid collection; is a one-person managed centre or has multiple branches across a wide range of diverse locations – LibertyLegal offers a solution suitable to your needs.”

Hillary said many of the world’s leading law firms are now using a Softlink solution.  “We have been working with leading law firms across the globe to develop solutions to meet the modern firm’s knowledge needs for today and tomorrow,” he said.
