  • Welcome to My PCLaw Blog

    Posted on August 1, 2009 by Greg Regan in PCLaw.

      Welcome to my blog on PCLaw which is a feature-rich legal accounting software for small to medium law firms. In my opinion, PCLaw is about the best value product of its kind on the market but, of course, one system is not suitable for all practices so consult an expert before investing in a […]

  • More about Fujitsu’s ScanScap scanner

    Posted on August 13, 2013 by Greg Regan in Law Firm Management, PCLaw.

    A couple of years ago I wrote about the Fujitsu ScanSnap scanner and I'm still blown away by how good they are. A client of mine recently installed 5 of them (the S1300i model) and I have one on my desk. Just a couple of things to add about this scanner: From what I can […]

  • Consider Security with PCLaw’s new Moblity Service

    Posted on June 16, 2011 by Greg Regan in Features, Law Firm Management, Technical Issues.

    I’m not really a big fan of cloud computing (or SaaS: Software as a Service) for legal firms given the recent security breaches against Sony and Nintendo. Having a legal firm’s data out there, somewhere, who knows where (yet occasionally hackers seem to find where) seems fraught with danger. Just one breach could be enough […]

    The newly released PCLaw version 11 now includes integration with Fujitsu ScanSnap. ScanSnap is one of the most popular scanners amonght legal firms because of its simplicity of use, speed (duplex) and value especially when  you consider that some versions come with a full copy of Adobe Acrobat. Don’t take my word for it. Do […]

  • Issue with Fixed Fees and Discounts

    Posted on May 12, 2011 by Greg Regan in PCLaw, PCLaw Help, Technical Issues.

      On the Billing tab, if you select both “Apply Discount to Fees” and a Quoted Type of Fixed Fee, the invoice seems to issue incorrectly. That is, the resulting invoice seems to overbill. I found this issue for one of my clients, I’ve tested it on my own dataset and I contacted PCLaw Support […]

  • Excess Invoice Templates in PCLaw

    Posted on October 4, 2010 by Greg Regan in PCLaw, PCLaw Help, Technical Issues.

      If you’ve had the role of issuing invoices in PCLaw, you would know that PCLaw comes with a multitude of invoice templates. I see this as a good thing as PCLaw has already created many invoice templates for various scenarios. However, it annoys users as there are too many templates to choose from when […]

  • PCLaw’s BillFlow Manager: Is it for your firm?

    Posted on March 31, 2010 by Greg Regan in Features, Law Firm Management.

      PCLaw’s new BillFlow Manager can help streamline the billing process. Prior to the introduction of the BillFlow Manager, standard practice was to print pre-bill, give this to the appropriate lawyeer to review and mark-up any changes, return this to the Billing department to effect the changes who would then issue the final invoice. In […]

  • Pay attention to PCLaw security settings

    Posted on March 4, 2010 by Greg Regan in Features, PCLaw, PCLaw Help, Technical Issues.

      Yesterday I was called up by a client regarding a “problem” where one of the client’s lawyers couldn’t re-open a de-activated matter. The client is a small firm and administration of the PCLaw system is the role of the Finance team. Under the firm’s own guidelines, the opening and closing of matters is done […]

  • Annoying problem with Outlook connection is easily fixed

    Posted on November 2, 2009 by Greg Regan in PCLaw, PCLaw Help, Technical Issues.

      Probably the most common problem call I get from clients is “Hey, I can’t save my emails to Pc Law. My Outlook isn’t connected to Pc Law anymore.” Normally (not always) the solution is simple. In MS Outlook, go to the Help menu. There should be a “Disabled Items” menu item. If there is […]
