Seamless Integration – Unifying User and Internal Legal Systems for Enhanced Efficiency

Overview

About the Client

The client is a leading non-profit legal organization dedicated to defending the right to freely live out one’s faith. With a highly skilled team of attorneys and advocates, the client is committed to protecting religious freedom, the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and marriage and family values.

The client has a proven track record of success in numerous high-profile cases and provides legal support and resources to individuals, churches, and organizations. Their work spans across various legal systems and jurisdictions, ensuring that fundamental freedoms are upheld and protected.

The challenge            

• Client sought to migrate two separate applications into a unified system while preserving their respective functionalities. Client wants to create two separate distinct applications where, the first application, serves as the primary website for end users to submit information related to their legal situations, parties involved, and grant requirements.
• The second application, supported internal operations for legal firm employees. It facilitated tasks such as assigning legal cases to attorneys, managing grants, conducting conflict checks, and overseeing approval flow processes.
• Integrating these disparate systems into a cohesive framework posed significant challenges. The project required harmonizing distinct technologies, ensuring seamless data flow between applications, and maintaining usability for both end users and internal staff.

Our Solution

• We designed and built a single, cohesive platform that combined the capabilities of both the previous applications.
• The new application streamlined user interfaces for end users submitting legal information and for internal staff managing cases and grants.
• Implemented robust APIs and data connectors to facilitate smooth communication between different parts of the application.
• Enhanced user experience with intuitive navigation and simplified workflows tailored to both end users and legal firm employees.
• Implemented features for detailed case assignment, comprehensive grant management, conflict checks, and efficient approval workflows.
