TLS Office Presented by: Brodie Mulholland Total Legal Solutions Ltd.
TLS Office: • Is a system that keeps track of your firm contacts, files, time and accounting data • Uses that information to automatically generate hundreds of complicated documents, create bills and do your legal and trust accounting • Resulting in: • Significant time saving • Simplification of procedures • Cost reduction • Increased firm profitability
TLS Office: • TLS stands for “Total Legal Solutions”: Sounds a little boastful, but as you will see, there isn’t another easy way to describe it because it is designed to combine most firm management, accounting and document generation tasks into one • What makes TLS unique: • Enter information only once and you know it is correct • Makes use of Microsoft Office software with which you are already familiar and for which there is an abundance of reasonably priced training – no “re-inventing the wheel” • Designed specifically for the BC practitioner • Documents automatically saved to your file for easy access • It really does integrate with other software • Colour coding of boxes for easy data entry
TLS Office: • “My experience from over 20 years of private practice is that a firm’s greatest single cost component is time – whether lawyers or staff” • As a result, any significant reduction in that time means large cost savings and increased profitability • The proof is in the practice – “I have used TLS in my own practice for the last two years without requiring any support staff”
