In an effort to try and speed up the processes we have tried to implement new technology. We have begun to provide hot-docs documents online. We assemble interviews and send them directly to our clients. They click the link and they're given questions which we draft and amend as the law changes. Having these questions answered means that instead of bothering them for lots of documents we have an intelligent list that will, depending on the answers they give, lead to further questions in more detail. We can create a multitude of documents and files that we can use for courts, chaser letters, everything. It might take 10mins to fill out the questions, but it saves us 3 or 4 hours.
