We are also introducing our new Workflow Automation feature that will instantly eliminate hours of admin work from your week. With this feature, you can automate and streamline the entire process from client intake to billing and make lives easier for everyone at your law firm. Workflow automation can help you handle repetitive tasks automatically that can sometimes fall through the cracks or be executed poorly or incompletely. You just need to configure workflows that can automate creating of matters, creating of tasks, sending of e-mails & texts, and many more actions, based on custom triggers.

We're proud to introduce a fresher, simpler, and better way to manage your law firm
ALWAYS IMPROVING: We're continually working to refine Lawcus so you can take your practice to the next level.
NEW FEATURES:
- Redesigned User Interface: you asked, we listened.
- A significant performance improvement: the app now loads 2x faster.
- Outlook plugin to send e-mails and attachments to matters.
- Last contacted field on the matters and contacts that shows the date when someone in your firm last touched that record.
- Now the system sends push notifications for e-mail and phone log interactions to all the members on the matter.
- Ability to clone and print client intake forms.
- Ability to export matters based on the filters.
The new dashboard is designed with customization and flexibility at the center of the experience. We have dramatically increased the ability to easily customize dashboards and present data in a simple, visual format that gives you an immediate snapshot of the performance metrics that matter to you.
The new dashboard lets you build beautiful dashboards from the list of premade widgets that you can add, remove, resize, and rearrange. We introduce you to the 6 new widgets.
The Lead Trends panel gives an overview of how successful you have been in converting your leads into matters. This panel is a combined version of the Leads Added panel, Conversion Rate panel, and the Pipeline Value panel.
This section shows you:
- The number of new prospective leads added to your pipeline in the selected date range.
- The number of leads converted during the selected date range (irrespective of whether the lead was added in this period or some previous period).
- The number of leads not hired/lost during the selected period (irrespective of whether the lead was added in this period or some previous period).
- The total number of active leads in the pipeline for the selected period.
- This section shows you the Conversion Rate, i.e., the number of converted leads ÷ the number of new leads in the selected date range.
This section shows you:
- The amount of business (value) you can get from all the leads in your pipeline for the selected period.
- The amount of business (value) you have got from the converted leads for the selected period.
- The amount of business (value) you have lost from leads that were not hired/lost during the selected period.
Note: If you move the pointer over any data point in the graph, Lawcus shows you the values on that particular day. For example, in the following screenshot, we can see that on 09/22 we added 1 new lead, and converted 2 leads into clients (remember, conversions are based on the total number of leads in the pipeline); thus we have a conversion rate of 200%.
