But it doesn't stop there. ClientConnect also enables online bill-paying for the attorney’s clients. Attorneys simply send their clients a link to an outstanding invoice, and the client can easily pay the invoice via PayPal or other online payment systems.
From my TechnoLawyer.com newsfeed comes a fresh Clio press release about ClientConnect (I tried to find the actual press release on the Clio website without success, which I find odd?)
January 29, 2009 — Vancouver, BC — Continuing the momentum of their highly successful October 1st launch of Clio, a web-based practice management application for solo and small law firms, Themis Solutions Inc. announces launch of Clio ClientConnect, a secure web-based client portal, which will be introduced at New York LegalTech (February 2-4). Clio ClientConnect will be available free of charge to all Clio subscribers.
Clio ClientConnect works seamlessly as a value-added feature of the main Clio system. It allows Clio users to share information and collaborate with clients through an easy-to-use online interface. ClientConnect will also enable online bill-paying for the attorney's clients. Attorneys simply send their clients a link to an outstanding invoice, and the client can easily pay the invoice via PayPal or other online payment systems.
Highly secure, Clio ClientConnect is password-protected so only authorized parties, namely Clio users and their clients, can access sensitive client information. This means that, rather than managing large quantities of non-secure e-mail, lawyers can leverage Clio's bank-grade security technology to safely share information and collaborate on key aspects of a case.
CLIO CLIENTCONNECT HIGHLIGHTS
