For more than 17 years ILFM’s Members have been asked for their feedback on their day-to-day use of software and asked to choose their award winners based on a set of questions. Members are asked to give their honest views of their legal accounts software package and how it helps to carry out their duties.
The ILFM has thousands of members and the range of designations from the award’s survey answers is a mixture of legal cashiers, practice managers, COFA/compliance officers, senior partners, and sole practitioners.
The ILFM Law Firm Software Users Award winners are voted for by the ILFM’s Members, each of whom are asked several questions about the software they use. The ILFM remains strictly impartial and no recommendations or advice are ever imparted to the members. The ILFM produce a Software Suppliers’ Guide focusing on legal accounts and administration systems and services to all its members as part of its yearly fee. The aim of the guide is to assist all ILFM Members with insights from the research which it carries out; independent and impartial data and information is then collated into the guide, which then operates to help ILFM Members choose the software package that best suits them and their teams.
The ILFM is the UK's leading membership organisation in the legal sector and professional institute providing qualifications, training, knowledge, support and information for anyone working in legal practice management and legal finance.
