Online legal services can be a boon to law firms as well as the clients that use them, says Simmons’ David Fitch

Simmons & Simmons led the pack in client-facing online services when it launched elexica.com in 1999. Thirteen years on, and with a site rebuild last month, the firm launched the next-generation elexica platform, introducing a robust web content management system and e-marketing integration. This award-winning free online legal service, aimed at delivering know-how, training and value-adds, continues to help the firm drive new revenue while supporting and adding value to its key client relationships.
