”Legal

As part of the merger process it was recognised that the combined firm of HHM ORARO would require a single consolidate IT system to support the newly enlarged practice. HHM ORARO selected Linetime’s Liberate system. As part of the contract Linetime merged the systems from the two practices into a combined practice management system.

Adil Khawaja, managing partner at HHM ORARO “We selected Linetime as we know their reputation in the legal software market and more importantly had the confidence they would deliver in the time frame required. The team at Linetime ensured the data transformation went to plan with the result being a smooth transition into our new enlarged practice.”
