Stikeman Elliott LLP Provides Power of Workflow to Administrative Services and Digital Dictation for Lawyers
Toronto, Cananda (PRWEB) January 15, 2009 -- Stikeman Elliott LLP today announced that it has begun the initial stage of rolling out the award-winning BigHand Digital Dictation (http://www.bighand.com) workflow system across the firm. BigHand technology will be used to consolidate document production workflows; to support round the clock administrative services in all offices, expediting client documentation. The voice productivity software will go to 300 desktop users initially and also incorporate lawyers on BigHand's BlackBerry Edition.
Venky Srinivasan, Director, Technology at Stikeman Elliott LLP commented: "Administrative personnel across the firm are key in enhancing the service our lawyers provide to our clients. It is also crucial that, given the current economic climate, we continue to invest in and utilize technologies that allow us to deliver legal services in as efficient and time sensitive manner as possible. Legally-specific workflow tools such as BigHand enable the firm's lawyers to take advantage of the quality of our support teams, regardless of where they are - whether they are at home or on-the-move. They will be able to instantly, verbally, delegate work to their legal administrative assistant team and track the progress of that document or task. All offices big or small will equally be able to utilize available administrative services round the clock within one click, if their normal resource is unavailable or at capacity."
Robert MacDonald, BigHand National Sales Manager for Canada commented: "The way in which Stikeman Elliott LLP is to implement BigHand workflow technology is innovative, and their use of BlackBerry devices for remote dictation is also leading a shift in the way Canadian firms are thinking about hardware convergence and voice productivity. We are delighted that a legal technology leader in North America such as Stikeman is now a BigHand client, which means BigHand software is used by four of the Top-Seven law firms in Canada, and over 700 law firms worldwide. As law firms look to 'work smart' in current conditions, interest in BigHand software is increasing dramatically."

Accident Lawyers Play A Pivotal Roll In Our Legal System
We have all seen the commercials on television. The attorney appears on the screen and asks if you have been injured in a car accident, or a slip-and-fall accident, or in countless other scenarios where your injury could be worthy of financial compensation. To many, this tactic appears uncouth, and its widespread use is one of the reasons that accident lawyers often suffer from an unsavory reputation. However, if you are among the unfortunate individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of another party, accident lawyers can be your only ally when seeking compensation for your damages or injuries.
