Case Study: GableGotwals achieves faster new-business intake, paperless proformas, and improved cash flow with Thomson Reuters Elite 3E

Mid-Sized Law Firm Leverages Built-In 3E Flexibility

GableGotwals is a 90-year-old, mid-sized Oklahoma law firm with 65 lawyers across two offices that wanted to stop spending on aging, unsupported systems. Management found its conflicts tool and time-and-billing maintenance no longer delivered value and needed a next-generation, customizable platform that would preserve existing custom reports and avoid rapid obsolescence.

The firm implemented Thomson Reuters Elite 3E, a .NET-based financial and practice management system whose IDE and integration tools let GableGotwals port custom apps, convert conflicts searching to an inquiry-based, drill-down process, and build a paperless proforma workflow via the intranet. The changes sped new-business intake, cut administrative hours, shortened billing by up to five days (improving cash flow), reduced paper and courier costs, simplified training, and created scalable, single-office efficiencies.
