Conflicts in the Universe of Practice Management

I often think of things from a different perspective.

For example, when we look at the conflicts software on the market today we might say a majority of the programs are offered by practice management firms. It's offered as an add-in or a module in order to assist with the workflow of accepting new business.

The tools offered are adequate for the purpose of accepting business, but are the results the best they could be for the purpose of mitigating the risk of accepting new business? Is it saving the most amount of time and effort for attorneys and the conflicts team? Is it providing highly automated, easy to produce and consume reports? Does it fit in with your firm's practices, or do you find yourself using "work arounds" and manual processes to make it function within your firm?

Conflicts of Interest Checks deserve a laser focus. The financial risk associated with an errant conflicts check is enormous, and we must consider that includes the risk of losing additional clients due to a simple clerical error in our field.

A conflicts-specific workbench that suits the needs of a conflicts checking process should be its own well designed, well defined, organized planet within the universe of the broader practice management platform.
