BCLP Streamlines Appendix Collation in Real Estate Transactions

Overview

BCLP, a fully integrated global law firm with over 1,275 lawyers across 31 offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, leverages Legatics to streamline appendix collation in real estate transactions.

Challenges

Document management and sharing

Collating appendices on the document management system or local folders was ineffective and challenging to share with external parties, resulting in frequent delays.

Seat rotations and continuity

As trainees change seats every six months, ongoing matters required new trainees to get up to speed with the latest version of appendices, leading to inefficiencies.

Transparency and real-time updates

There was a lack of transparency to clients regarding the progress of appendix collation, affecting the overall client experience.

Version control

Trainees and fee earners had individual ways of naming and saving documents, complicating the handover process during seat rotations.
