FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Lumen Legal and Brightleaf Announce ALLIANCE

Royal Oak, MI., January 30, 2012 – Lumen Legal and Brightleaf are announcing a strategic alliance allowing Lumen clients to drive efficiencies and cost advantages via the Brightleaf document automation platform.

Using Brightleaf’s software, law firms centralize their document creation processes, improving efficiency and enhancing clients’ perception of their work. Corporate legal departments can leverage the software to cut costs, mitigate risks, and do more with less. Software capabilities include automated document assembly, clause libraries, and an intuitive template factory. These capabilities allow for flexibility and customization.

Ron Lippitt, Lumen Legal’s Vice President of Global Services says, “The proper selection and deployment of legal technology is a critical element of future competitiveness. We believe the Brightleaf document automation platform is a clear advantage for law firms attempting to drive productivity and collaboration, while de-leveraging the traditional law firm operating model.”

“Companies that have spent a lot of time and money focusing internal assets on document creation will find it can be managed much more efficiently through this platform,” Dan Gaffney, President and CEO of Brightleaf, says. Internal business clients of law firms would be able to access their own customized, automated forms and eliminate the time, cost, and risk or repetitive drafting. They can even create and collaborate on legal documents from iPads and iPhones, anywhere.”

If attending LegalTech (New York) February 1st-3rd, you can find Lumen Legal and Brightleaf at booth #432.
