Good relationships are the foundation of any successful business and the lifeblood of law firms. For attorneys, the strength of the bond with clients can make or break your practice. These relationships require more than just delivering legal advice—they require building trust, delivering results, and generating retention and referrals so you can keep the doors open and the lights on. 

But how do you strengthen these bonds when you’re bogged down by paperwork, deadlines, and emails, phone calls, and text messages? The answer: legal case management software from CosmoLex.  

Different from the broader legal practice management tools that keep operations like accounting and time tracking running, case management software specifically focuses on each case and related matters, ensuring that every interaction and update contributes to a transparent, accessible, and personalized service. 

Build relationships through unified client communication 

Juggling emails, phone calls, and an endless stream of documents can leave you frazzled. It also leaves you more prone to error and poor collaboration, which can gradually worsen your relationships with clients.  

CosmoLex’s case management software supports client communication by creating a single source of truth. Share documents, get signatures, or send updates without worrying you’re leaving your clients or colleagues in the dark. Together, these features build transparency and trust with your clients through every interaction. 

Seamless collaboration 

With CosmoLex Calendar, the entire team can share a calendar, fostering an environment where everyone is on the same page. You can customize access, link events directly to specific matters, and invite clients to relevant appointments so they feel included and informed at every step.  

The ability to add comments on calendar events also streamlines internal communications. By adding context, your team members stay informed and able to make informed decisions related to client matters. 

Easy document sharing 

CosmoLex simplifies document sharing with its secure file-sharing capabilities through LexShare.  

You can send or request sensitive documents directly through CosmoLex, keeping them in sync with your matters. The platform’s matter-centric approach lets you directly upload the corresponding matter once received, with instant alerts to keep you updated on client activities.  

The integration of eSignature with LexSign also streamlines the signing process . With just a few clicks you can send forms, contracts, and agreements—and it’s all legally binding and secure. Just as importantly, once they’ve signed and sent the documents back, it all syncs to the client matter in CosmoLex. 

Centralized client communications 

CosmoLex offers a centralized client communications hub within its secure client portal, creating a single source of truth for all client interactions. This module ensures real-time updates and cloud-based access to client communications so you can seamlessly manage them regardless of your location.  

CosmoLex ensures that clients have day-or-night access to their legal matters through a secure, encrypted client portal. On the portal, clients can view documents, invoices, and updates relevant to their case in a secure, easy-to-use platform, which provides reassurance and increases trust.   

A client portal increases efficiency for your firm, too: the two-way messaging system allows for secure communications directly within CosmoLex. All communications get logged within your Matter Records so that nothing slips through the cracks.

Deliver personalized legal services 

In today’s legal landscape, clients want legal counsel that understands their unique needs and circumstances.  

CosmoLex helps deliver personalized legal services to individual clients by allowing for customized billing structures, individual matter management, and customizable, detailed invoices and expense reports. These features empower attorneys to provide clients with a level of care that leaves them feeling valued and understood. 

Customized billing structures 

CosmoLex’s case management software offers flexible, customized billing structures for each client’s unique needs. Its simple retainer management and smart legal electronic billing software adapt to both flat fees and retainers. By utilizing UTBMS codes selectively, you can tailor billing practices to each client’s specific requirements.  

Individual matter management 

CosmoLex’s matter management system is designed to handle every client with personal attention by enabling precise tracking and management of their needs. As the core units of the software, matters include: 

• Timecards

The platform’s document automation makes sure every piece of correspondence gets filed correctly so you can maintain a high level of personalization and organization. 

Customizable invoices 

Creating customized invoices is straightforward and impactful with CosmoLex. You can include your law firm’s branding and even personalized messages on each invoice, strengthening the personal connection with your clients.  

Track case progress efficiently 

CosmoLex provides efficient case progress tracking through advanced features that ensure nothing slips through the cracks. These features include: 

• Customized workflow templates for routine tasks 
• Milestones 
• Matter-centric organization 
• Alerts 

Such detailed tracking benefits attorneys and clients by enhancing transparency, reducing the risk of missed deadlines, and ensuring high-quality work. The platform’s project management capabilities also allow every team member to access and update the matter’s status, fostering a collaborative environment that keeps clients well-informed.  

This level of efficiency and transparency fosters trust and communication and ultimately leads to higher client satisfaction. 

Incorporate client feedback  

Feedback acts like a compass that guides service improvement. CosmoLex helps law firms gather feedback through several different avenues.  

• Deliver feedback queries and surveys following the conclusion of a matter via the legal CRM 
• Incorporate user-friendly forms with embedded forms on your website (available through CosmoLex Websites) 
• Prompt feedback via chat on CosmoLex’s secure client portal 

These direct lines of communication help collect client input, giving you actionable insights for continuous improvement. As a result, you enhance the overall client experience, strengthening trust and the attorney-client relationship.
