5 Ways That Proof Improves Productivity for Litigation Lawyers

Founded in 2017 by an experienced lawyer with a vision for efficiency, Proof optimizes law firm operations by replacing manual, paper-based processes with fast, safe and efficient digital tools for law firms.

The world's first on-demand process serving platform, Proof takes a 21st-century approach to 20th-century requirements for properly serving papers in order to resolve disputes through the court system.

Time is money–and that is especially true for paralegals, attorneys, and administrators taking legal matters to court on behalf of their clients.

Here are five ways that Proof software improves productivity for litigation lawyers:

1. Automated Process Serving and Tracking

Proof dashboards show real-time updates on job status for each step of each service of process request—from attempt to serve to affidavit—eliminating the need for manual follow-ups that take time away from more pressing matters. With this granular level of transparency, law firms can reduce the time spent chasing servers or waiting for confirmation.

Automatic alerts notify users the moment a document is officially served, allowing them to move quickly to the next phase of litigation without delay.

2. Comprehensive Documentation and Reliable Compliance

Each time a legal document is served, Proof generates clear, detailed proof of service documentation that can be instantly accessed, reducing the time lawyers spend gathering, organizing, and submitting this information to the court. This may include photos, date and time stamps, and notes from their server.

And by ensuring that all proof of service complies with state-specific legal requirements, Proof software minimizes the risk of service challenges, reducing the time and effort spent on resolving disputes over improper service.

3. Efficient Coordination with Process Servers

Legal professionals can communicate directly with process servers through the Proof platform, streamlining all essential communication in one secure place. This eliminates the need for phone calls, voicemails, texts, and emails to different process servers–and the time lag while waiting for a response, speeding up the coordination process and allowing firms to focus on tasks that drive revenue.

4. Integrated Document Management

Centralized file storage of all service-related documents keeps litigation professionals highly organized. Users spend less time searching for physical documents or digital files in multiple applications or saved in folders with different naming conventions on different servers.

Firms already taking advantage of popular case-management software can also integrate Proof data with existing systems, enabling seamless submission of proof of service and related legal documents to the court.

5. Improved Case Management and Reporting

Proof provides transparency for all users across multiple cases, enabling legal teams to quickly assess the progress of document serving for each case. This helps with time management and task prioritization.

Lawyers can also generate customized reports on service attempts, successes, or failures, helping them make informed decisions about next steps in a case. This reduces time spent manually compiling data and enhances ability for lawyers to plan strategically.

By automating process serving with efficiency-driven tools, providing up-to-the-minute job tracking, and centralizing document storage, Proof software streamlines law firm workflows, reduces delays, and helps litigation lawyers manage cases more efficiently and effectively.
