Billing features a built-in document composition service for production of attractive and professional bills and statements that can be printed, saved in a variety of document formats and distributed electronically.
• Collections: 3E Collections provides an integrated approach for managing the activity and communications regarding the collection of overdue invoices. When an invoice becomes overdue, it can be submitted to a collections process which consists of a series of sequenced steps with prescribed actions to be performed either by the system or by an individual in the firm.

Clients: Our technology and unmatched understanding of the legal profession has earned us more than 900 clients in over 35 countries. Clients who have chosen Elite 3E in recent months include:

“One of the main reasons we chose 3E is that it is a complete suite. We didn’t want stand-alone products and Elite was the only provider offering a single, fully integrated business process platform which we could confidently move forward with.”
Andrew Leaitherland, Managing Partner, DWF

“The system will undoubtedly be welcomed by our fee-earners and partners, as a lack of access to high quality financial data has been a growing frustration. Elite 3E will allow partners to quickly analyse performance data and make more informed decisions, particularly around the pricing of legal services.”
Ian Fowles, Head of IT Business Systems, Irwin Mitchell

“We wanted a complete solution which would take our practice to the next level of client care. Antiquated systems are no longer meeting insurance clients’ needs for detailed case information from their legal advisers. The 3E platform will give us the flexibility to respond rapidly to clients who need information on a number of cases which are on the go at the same time.”
Philip Heartfield, Partner, Fishburns

“Our aim was to free up scarce management and fee earner time and readily share information across the firm to further improve both client transaction processes and our own internal procedure.“
Alistair Fraser, Managing Partner, Semple Fraser

Offices: Employing over 750 staff, Thomson Elite has a worldwide presence, including offices in London, Paris, Amsterdam, Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, Hong Kong and Singapore.
