Monthly overview
ESS Advocate organises a legal practice around the case record. Hearings, court dates, documents, client communication, time and billing all attach to the matter rather than living in separate files, so the firm’s position on any case is visible in one place. Role-aware dashboards give partners, team members and clients each an appropriate view.
