Case Study: Higgins Miller Solicitors achieves scalable expansion and streamlined legal operations with Access Group (Access Legal)

Access Legal's Practice Management system offers a platform for expansion at Higgins Miller

Higgins Miller solicitor, a Stockport-based practice specialising in divorce, family and children disputes, was struggling with an ageing, rarely updated case system that no longer matched the firm’s growth or future plans. Seeking a modern, supported solution with Legal Aid capabilities and Law Society endorsement, the firm chose Access Group’s Access Legal case management/practice management system.

Access Group migrated Higgins Miller to its Access Legal platform, provided training and set up a single centralized interface. The implementation delivered instant matter visibility across fee earners, streamlined exports to the LAA portal, automated billing and CMR generation (eliminating duplicate data entry), improved cost tracking and powerful reporting — collectively increasing efficiency, speeding up Legal Aid workflows and ensuring smoother case continuity.
