Legal Management Systems: Automatic Search for Synonyms in Conflict

When running conflicts, do you often enter varied spellings of names or abbreviations to make sure the check is comprehensive?

Rippe & Kingston found that it would be helpful for Conflict Searches to accommodate for the use of nicknames, abbreviations, or various spellings within narrative (i.e., synonyms). 

R&K created a way to provide users with an option to perform a search that encompasses all possible results without having to enter each possibility as criteria. For instance, users simply enter one name (e.g., Bill) and the system can search for the corresponding synonyms (e.g., Bill/William/Will/Billie/Willy). 

Most recently, R&K added a large database of synonym names to make it even more convenient for users!

Legal Management Systems: Profit Plan

Rippe & Kingston's LMS General Ledger System provides a vast array of reports, including various formats for Income Statements and Balance Sheets.  

Are you familiar with the Income Statement Profit Plan format?  Would it be helpful to view the Firm's income and expenses over a 12-month based period?

In LMS+, three Profit Plan reports are available for display (and exporting!):

• All Budget: Month 1 – month 12 based on budgets (displaying the budgets for the entire year regardless if they’ve transpired or not)
   
• Actual/Budget: Month 1 – month 12 actual amounts (including zeroes for the months that have not transpired yet). Each month, the actualized amount replaces the budgeted amount.
   
• All Actual: Actual for the months that have transpired and budgets for the remaining months

Would any of the above views be beneficial to your Firm?

Legal Management Systems: A/R Reminder Statements on the Fly

Customized A/R Reminder Statements are often run periodically (e.g., monthly) to be mailed to all Clients for A/R follow up, and Rippe & Kingston has offered this functionality for several years via LMS Custom Reports (Sequel).

Did you know that R&K now offers access to a standard format of A/R Reminder Statements on the fly?  While they may vary slightly in appearance from your Firm's statements, the new availability might be just what you need for faster follow up on demand.

The standard statement is accessible via LMSV Billing and ARM!
