Junior Lawyer: “The partner often delegates research to me. Turnaround times are tight, so I need to make sure I collect all the relevant material quickly. It would be a disaster if I missed something."
Paralegal: “Partners and senior lawyers sometimes ask me to do research for them. I don’t have the same level of knowledge as them, so I need something that directs me to the relevant material."
Partner: “I don’t research much. Perhaps some case law from time to time. If research is required, I delegate to my juniors, so they need resources at their fingertips."
Knowledge manager: “I do a lot of research for the lawyers in the firm. I know what I'm doing; I need a platform to support what I need to do. I'm also responsible for ensuring the Partners have the resources they want for their teams. They guide me, but I also guide them."
Barrister: “It’s all about case law for me. Make the relationships between legislation and cases clear and help me find cases relevant to my matter.”
CCH Pinpoint® is solving the traditional challenges of legal research. Its 360-degree capabilities are much appreciated by end-users:
