Dickinson Dees Extends Use of Exari

Top UK Law Firm Will Use Exari for Engagement Letters, Multiple Client Uses

London, UK and Boston, MA – March 23, 2011 – Exari announced today that prominent law firm Dickinson Dees is extending its use of Exari’s interactive document generation software firm-wide to its 600+ staff.

The firm originally implemented Exari two years ago to automate information technology and outsourcing agreements. Their experience to date suggests that savings of up to 80% can be realized in the time taken to prepare documents, with even greater efficiencies being available by grouping together associated documents.

Dickinson Dees will now be automating their engagement letters, which are heavily regulated and required, but must be tailored to each client -- the compliance department is rolling out a template for use across the firm. And, they have as yet unannounced plans for further applications. The firm is proactively working with clients in a variety of sectors, not only to deliver conventional legal services in new ways, but in helping clients automate their internal legal and risk management processes.

“Exari has provided a massive productivity save in the time and cost of creating documents,” said Andrew Scott, a partner at Dickinson Dees and Head of the Commercial Team. “For us, it has been a great way to help our clients’ business. We provide value well beyond just drafting documents and Exari has helped free up the time of our senior lawyers to provide more high-value consultancy.”

“Dickinson Dees has devised some really innovative uses of the Exari technology,” said Geoff Maskell, Exari’s Vice President of European Sales. “They are committed to providing value to their clients, which has earned them a national reputation for the quality of their work.”
