Record year for Eclipse Legal Systems

LEGAL IT supplier Eclipse Legal Systems is in bullish mood after announcing record full year revenues.

The Bradford-headquartered firm saw turnover reach £9.3m in the year to June 30, up from £8.3m last year.

Eclipse is the UK’s leading provider of legal software solutions and employs 150 staff.

Its Proclaim software system is in use by almost 19,000 professionals across a range of market sectors.

Proclaim integrates all case management, accounting, document management, reporting, time recording, task and diary functions, and can be web-enabled to allow clients and referrers to securely view their live case files online.

Proclaim clients include Eversheds, Carillion and Co-operative Legal Services.

Eclipse said contract wins in the period included multi-disciplinary law firms such as Tollers Solicitors, Government bodies, including Derry City Council and a large number of Alternative Business Structures (ABS), including insurer-backed Autonet Law.

The company also increased its international presence with wins from countries including Switzerland and Zambia.

Eclipse’s founder and chief software architect Steve Ough said: “To announce such strong results in challenging market times is testament to the appeal and flexibility of Proclaim.

“The variety of organisations we serve is unmatched in the marketplace; we are seeing more and more full-service ‘Practice Management’ wins alongside our growing ABS and commercial presence. Proclaim is seen not just as a legal management solution, but increasingly as a wider business, client and customer management solution.”
