IRIS Legal wins new business with next generation software

LEGAL software provider IRIS Legal has won a clutch of deals over the last two months, worth £340,000.
The Knutsford-based company has won 18 new deals worth more than £340,000, with eight of them to provide its next generation practice and case management software IRIS Law Business.
New customers include Merseyside law firm MWT Solicitors, which moved from Cognito and Kent’s Neves Scott, which moved from Osprey. Venator Legal, the Norfolk-based start-up firm, has installed ILB Express, the specialist practice and case management system designed specifically for sole practitioners and small law firms.
More of the larger deals that closed in the past month include, Horsey Lightly, which needed more automation and wanted workflow functionality to improve efficiencies in the firm; Straw & Pearce; and Appleby Hope & Matthews, all of which chose to extend their association with IRIS Legal by moving to the next generation ILB product.
Doug Hargrove, managing director of IRIS Legal, said: “We are reaping the rewards of investing during the downturn, both in terms of new people and new products. We had a strong end to the last financial year and it’s pleasing to report we’ve exceeded our expectations already for the start of our new financial year.”
