LawConnect - Sharing Account Statements

How To

Securely share office and trust statements using LawConnect.

Your recipient(s) can view their office and trust statements in real-time and pay outstanding invoices and trust funds requests through RapidPay.

It is easy for you to share statements directly from your electronic matter and unlike email, you can also revoke access at any time. When you no longer wish to share your account statements and trust funds requests, you can stop sharing at any time.

All statements are stored safely in Amazon Web Services, the same facilities where your LEAP data is stored.

Before sharing statements, you may want to notify recipient(s) that you'll be sharing statements using LawConnect for the duration of the matter. You can share this information with your clients to let them know how to use LawConnect.
