Overview

Smith’s Lawyers, a mid-sized personal injury law firm in Queensland, focuses on providing personalized legal services with a strong commitment to client care. As the firm grew, both Amanda Edwards, Principal, and Greg Smith, Founder, recognized the need for a more robust system to manage the expanding workload and enhance task visibility across the firm.

The Challenge

As Smith’s Lawyers continued to grow, they experienced key operational challenges:
