Legal Tracker integration - Matter management and Legal intake

Product Filter HighQ Collaborate
Product Area Filter Integrations, Legal Tracker

Legal Track integration provides two tools, Matter management and Matter intake.

As of August 2022, we expanded the Legal Tracker integration to include flexible matter and spend management, and included HighQ Forms support for Matter intake . 

And as of February 2023, you can associate the Matter intake and Matter management iSheets with a join cloumn, and associate your HighQ site and Legal Tracker matter for easier reference and updates..

Matter Management and reporting

Often, corporate In-house legal teams do not have a centralized view and management of in-house and outsourced matters; Corporate legal teams use multiple systems to manage matters and centralized matter reporting is a challenge. 

The Legal Tracker integration includes matter management, this provides an integrated experience that combines HighQ's flexibility with Legal Tracker's strengths in spend management. It gives legal teams a centralised view of both in-house and outsourced matter management.

The integration includes two-way sync, so that users can work in either HighQ or Legal Tracker, depending on their needs, and all data is seamlessly transferred from one system to the other.

You can generate reports that provide high-level updates on the current financial status of matters, replacing reports created in separate financial management systems.

Matter intake

The Legal Tracker integration manages Legal matter Intake; this handles all steps from requesting a legal intake to the creation of a matter.

A requester (a corporate user, legal client or potential client) can raise an intake request using HighQ iSheets or HighQ Forms as an intake form.

If you use iSheets, the requester must be invited to the HighQ instance in order to raise the intake request.

If you use HighQ Forms, the requester can create anonymous requests or have the ability to self-register and create an intake request.

 

Setting up HighQ integration with Legal Tracker

If you already use HighQ Collaborate, it is a simple process to access Legal Tracker features:

  • Please contact your HighQ representative to enable and register for Legal Tracker integration.
  • A system admin must then authorise the add-on in system settings.

After the integration is enabled on your instance a system admin must: 

 

Requirements

Legal Tracker integration with Collaborate requires:

  • HighQ Collaborate version 5.7.5 or above, including the iSheets module.
  • a Legal Tracker account.

Questions regarding credentials should be directed to the Legal Tracker administrator, not the HighQ support team, as only Legal Tracker admin can provide credentials.

 

Two-way sync

Changes in the HighQ Matter management iSheet are synced in near real-time with the Legal Tracker.

As of February 2023, near real-time sync replaces scheduled sync. If you are currently using scheduled sync, or if you are configuring a new site, you can set up near real-time sync time in system admin for Legal Tracker.

For example:

Select a record in the Matter management iSheet:

This iSheet is populated with data from Legal Tracker. See Configuring Legal Tracker iSheets for more information.

Click More actions then Edit:

You can change editable fields (some columns are set as read-only when they are imported):

For example, you can adjust the selected Substantive law field:

This example shows a manual change to the iSheet, but workflow can also be used to make updates automatically.
