CRM advice for law firms
Law firms need intake, conflict checks and billing to work together. Intake CRMs and practice management tools overlap, and choosing the wrong mix is expensive.
Questions to ask any vendor
- Does intake sync to our practice management system?
- How are conflict checks handled?
- What does the contract auto-renew on?
- Which payment processors are supported?
