Features

• Online text indexing makes all potential conflicts immediately available for search at all times.
• Preclude redundant system data through single point of entry.
• Search multiple names in a single query.
• View potential conflicts from summary or detailed reports.
• Display or print "hit lists" of all related or selected parties identified in the search.
• Link related parties to clients, engagements (matters) or other related parties.
• Automatically search for duplicate names when a related party is added.
• Attach related parties to one or more mailing lists; related parties serve as both conflict database and prospect trading system.
• Search for proximity using "before," "after," "adjacent," "near," "not near," "only," or within one to nine words.
• Generate labels or reports from your conflict database.
• "Drill down" to view details of any conflict on screen.
• Define a "stop word list" to avoid erroneous or excessive search results.
• Control which parts of the database are searched.
• Define relationships and related party types according to your practice needs.
• Index the full text of client, engagement (matter), or related party names and narratives.
• Simultaneously search your records and file room management, so that conflict checks also scan information put into the records database, such as folder and document descriptions.
• Track parent/subsidiary relationships using DUNSŪ numbers and represent hierarchical corporate relationships.
• Perform a search, view results, and easily modify the original search criteria in an expedient manner.
• Print a selection from a "hit list."
• Track names that have no client or engagement (matter) relationship.
• Enter a group of names into the database as prospective related parties, clients or engagements (matters) while simultaneously searching the database.
• Save searches indefinitely; recall, modify or re-run searches at any time.
• Prevent two timekeepers from opening the same engagement (matter); as soon as the first conflict search is done, the second search would identify the first prior to execution.
• Perform "prospective" searches early in the process, even before completing new client or engagement (matter) forms.
