Excellence Awardee:
Gluckstein Lawyers is honoured to receive the LexisNexis Canada Award for Best Use of Technology in a Firm. Under Managing Partner Charles Gluckstein’s leadership, Gluckstein Lawyers continues to lead by example as an innovative, future focused, and technologically advanced firm. We continue to lead the way in modernizing our practice, while prioritizing accessibility, ease, and innovation for our clients and staff alike. As one of the first firms in Canada to implement Filevine, a cloud-based customizable file management software platform with enhanced security measures, we have enabled our staff to access their ‘virtual’ filing cabinets with ease from any secure location worldwide. We began integrating other cloud-based software programs including MedChart, Tracument, and VineSign to enable a seamless work process. We also implemented RingBird, a specialized legal intake and answering service which is embedded within Filevine, to facilitate contact with staff even after business hours. Our firm’s use of Filevine over the last three years has increased productivity and level of care and received increased satisfaction from our clients. By utilizing the technological programs at our fingertips, and continuing to adapt for our communities, it is our hope that we can serve every client who comes to us with personalized, innovative, and exceptional care.
