Actionstep, a New Zealand-founded software provider, has moved to offer free access to its cloud-based legal practice management software to law firms that are “struggling” to enable remote working in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The offer gives law firms, free use of Actionstep’s Express product for six months or more and enables their teams to work on client and matter files remotely. Express is Actionstep’s ‘Ready-to go’ product, meaning there is no customisation or implementation time required,” the provider said.
“Firms can start using Actionstep Express right away through an automated setup process. Using Express during the COVID-19 pandemic will allow firms to securely manage current and future matters, integrate with email and calendar tools like Office 365 or Gmail, share file notes [and] documents, assign [and] manage team tasks, track time [and] billing, and see all their data and team activity in one place.”
After six months, firms can export their data from Actionstep and go back to their original systems, or, if they wish, they can continue with Actionstep on a regular subscription.
“Actionstep will monitor the COVID-19 situation and may extend this offer beyond six months if necessary,” it proclaimed.
Actionstep president David Hepburn said: “One of our core values is about being part of and actively supporting our legal community.”
“This is an unprecedented crisis and we want to give the wider law community affected by COVID-19 a solution to keep running effectively and keep their team safe during this time.”
