Established in 1971, Barnes and Partners has grown into one of North London’s leading solicitor firms, with a network of four local branches, including their distinguished head office in Enfield.
Their large team of highly qualified solicitors covers nearly all aspects of law, providing specialist legal services for private and commercial clients. This expertise allows them to deliver exceptional and knowledgeable service, leading to a loyal client base.
The main challenge Barnes and Partners faced was the need to adopt a more intuitive and modern system to improve collaboration between departments and continue delivering excellent client service. Their existing software, Proclaim, required an upgrade, and they sought a solution that would manage both case management and legal accounting more efficiently. This prompted their search for a system that could handle their growing needs while supporting their operations across various legal services.
Hoowla provided Barnes and Partners with a comprehensive case management solution that addressed their need for improved departmental collaboration and legal accounting capabilities.
The software offered automation of routine tasks, such as generating quotes and auto-populating legal documents like Law Society forms.
It also allowed the firm to draft and customise letters, organise workflows by department and case type, and manage legal accounts, including setting case spend limits, generating invoices, and performing account reconciliations.
Hoowla’s system was easy to configure, enabling Barnes and Partners to make post-migration adjustments internally without costly developers. Additionally, the platform’s reporting capabilities helped them make informed decisions and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, all while improving overall client service.
Having another full-service law firm like Barnes and Partners join the system is amazing. I am really looking forward to working closely with their team to further tailor Hoowla case management to their requirements to meet their business goals.Adam Curtis on Barnes & Partners
