The Large Law sector is usually comprised of law firms that offer a wide range of legal services, covering many different sectors and types of clients. Typically involving high value, complex cases, large law or ‘BigLaw’ practices, rely on industry experts to be able to contribute and communicate their specialist knowledge both internally; across departments and organisations, as well as externally, with clients, to offer the very best outcome for each case.
Built with Large Law in mind, Lexis® Everyfile is the software solution to ensure collaboration, accessibility, and the capacity to manage legal projects efficiently is supported, to help you grow your business, the way you choose.
With Lexis® Everyfile you can:

Most importantly, build upon a foundation that develops a system of work that performs for the client most effectively.
Tech teams - Alleviate the burden on your Tech team of mapping the day-to-day processes for your colleagues within the firm.

Collaborators - With many cross skilled specialists working within large law firms, Lexis® Everyfile provides a common platform to share ideas and collaborate. Often cases within large law firms can be long term, complex and of high value, so it is essential colleagues can establish what progress is being made clearly with one another, whilst ensuring a transparent report, in a consistent voice is communicated back to the client.
Clients - Considered to be an educated, mature buyer of legal services, clients of the ‘BigLaw’ sector are often large corporate clients, who, in many cases have dedicated teams of lawyers with firsthand experience and expert knowledge of the legal industry. With clear expectations and a demand for data insights needed for their role, with Lexis® Everyfile you can provide a bespoke user access with the transparency and visibility to meet the demand to consume, collaborate and interact the way they choose.
“We’re creating a technology centre of excellence so that we can innovate and continually deliver services that beat customer expectations… We cannot afford to be constrained by technology, which is why we chose Visualfiles™. The solution gives us agility and will serve as a platform for growth.”
This is usually considered high value, and as a result, secured at a generous cost, however, as well-educated buyers, clients will only pay for what they value, which means a price that best meets expectations. This means giving the client; and their client, what they want, in the most efficient way possible, and with the Lexis® Everyfile software solution, we endeavour to do just that.
A Microsoft approved, cloud enabled web solution, Lexis® Everyfile is built to reduce friction in the way teams collaborate and remove the burden of process and unnecessary admin on lawyers who are best placed working on matters that require their expertise. With Lexis® Everyfile, you can provide real time/powerful data insights to your clients, alleviate the granular effort needed to ensure tasks are complete through automation, whilst keeping autonomous control within your specialist field.
Nevertheless, in Large Law, we understand that automating everything is not necessarily the answer. Unlike the world of high-volume legal work where major automation equates to timely case completions, which means better business prospects, in Large Law your clients rely on your technical expertise. They value the time taken to share insights, advise and educate on complex matters. Yet, by the same token, clients do not want to pay inflated prices for overqualified lawyers to complete simple legislative, administration tasks such as conflict checking and KYC, when investment is better spent elsewhere.
With the competitiveness of the market ever increasing, Lexis® Everyfile allows you to stand out from the crowd and adopt a tailored solution. With a flexible architecture and easy to use interface, simply automate where you see fit so that you can focus on delivering an attentive client service, bespoke to their needs.
“We’re creating a technology centre of excellence so that we can innovate and continually deliver services that beat customer expectations… We cannot afford to be constrained by technology, which is why we chose Visualfiles™. The solution gives us agility and will serve as a platform for growth.”
We are now seeing an increase in competition from alternative service providers such as accounting firms and private equity firms, that are becoming increasingly successful at offering legal services that can challenge established legal practices.
Nowadays, the modern law firm is something that cannot be so easily defined. Specialist legal firms are breaking away from the established legal mould, in favour of offering a bespoke service that prioritises expertise, client relationships or technology. The rise of the boutique and dispersed law firms are growing in popularity, making way for a more competitive distribution of legal work, across the industry and beyond.
“2023 will see corporate legal functions and their legal service providers adopt technology to better manage legal knowledge, both for use within legal functions and for sharing with business users. The use of such technologies will ensure reuse of knowledge, consistency of service, better legal risk management and will allow for technology-based self-service, allowing lawyers to focus on bespoke complex legal issues.”
