Manual verification processes

Before using Atticus, Chapman Tripp relied on spreadsheets and email communications to conduct verification. The firm found this to be time-consuming work for their lawyers, which also impacted turnaround times for their clients.

The firm chose to use Atticus to reduce the time spent on mundane work and increase client satisfaction. Using Atticus enables lawyers at Chapman Tripp to focus on more complex, high-value work.

Roger Wallis, Partner at Chapman Tripp states “The game-changer for us was having everything centralised online, allowing for automatic verification of different document versions while preserving the integrity of previous verifications.”

Seamless onboarding with Atticus

Chapman Tripp reported that it was easy to get started with Atticus, and they particularly enjoyed the tailored training sessions and Single-Sign-On features.

According to Roger, their lawyers found the platform “intuitive and easy to use”. He states that they “rarely need to contact Atticus for support, but the team is always available if needed.”

Improved collaboration and client satisfaction

With Atticus, the firm can work more effectively with team members in different locations. Roger highlights that the automated audit trail is particularly useful in improving visibility into changes made to documents.
