Revolutionise your law firm

ContactsLaw is the revolutionary legal practice management system designed by Overtech Technologies Pty Ld in collaboration with practising Western Australian lawyers for Western Australian legal practices.

Building on the latest Microsoft development tools, ContactsLaw is totally new in concept and design. It is fully integrated with the Microsoft ™ suite of business products including Vista, Windows XP, Outlook, Office, Sharepoint, Internet Explorer, Exchange server and Small Business server.

ContactsLaw is a:

  • CRM system (customer relationship management)
  • Client and file management system
  • Document management system
  • Billing system
  • General and trust accounting package
  • Multi-user collaborative task management system

Using ContactsLaw you can painlessly comply with the recent and important new laws relating to lawyers’ trust accounts, costs disclosure and cost estimates under the Legal Profession Act 2008, and associated Regulations and Rules.

ContactsLaw aims to exceed the expectations of large law firms but is  equally suited to smaller practices, barristers’ chambers and in  serviced office environments.

As a Microsoft Certified Partner Overtech has had (and continues to have access to) professional support for this project from Microsoft Corporation’s experts around the world.

Overtech can also offer  its customers exclusive business development loans from  Microsoft Finance.  These unsecured “low doc” loans are  well-priced and repayable early without penalty.  They can be used to buy software and  related intangibles (eg training and support) as well as hardware and other items.

Brief overview

Here are some of the reasons why we think you’ll like ContactsLaw:

  • No timesheets! Whether you’re making a phone call, appearing in court, conferring with a colleague or simply requesting a trust cheque, ContactsLaw ubiquitously (and in many cases automatically) journals your activity and records the cost on the appropriate file. You can review and edit your journals whenever you please.
     
  • To make a file related telephone call, click on a contact’s telephone number or right-click on the name. ContactsLaw will dial the number, create a journal with the name and number of the person you are calling, and the relevant file. You make notes of your conversation. When you are done, ContactsLaw calculates the value of your time and charges it to the relevant file.
     
  • Outgoing and incoming emails are all automatically timed (journalled), catalogued, saved to the appropriate file, timed and costed. All you have to do is type, dictate or read them.
     
  • Using ContactsLaw’s customised templates you will easily generate cost agreements that comply with the new rules relating to disclosure and cost estimates.  Painlessly customise these templates to suit the areas relevant to your legal practice.
     
  • Trust accounting – achieve full compliance with the new 2009 regime.
     
  • Billing is a breeze with ContactsLaw. At the click of a mouse everyone on your team (we call them Members) can review files, generate draft or final bills instantly, and adjust them effortlessly. Authorised members can bill files at any time.
     
  • Imagine creating a letter simply clicking on the name of the person to whom you wish to write. ContactsLaw automatically builds your letter including the name address, salutation and heading and if you so decide, the content as well.
      
  • ContactsLaw comes ready-loaded with details of government departments and local lawyers. Its state of the art search features – linked directly to the Australian Business Registry - are simple, sophisticated, accurate and – above all – fast.
