When it comes to creating court bundles many firms today still rely heavily on printers and manual processes. Why so when there are awesome tools like Bundledocs electronic document bundling software available to do all the time consuming and laborious work for you? So if you’re reluctant to give up the printer, we’ve gathered together our top 3 reasons you should build electronic court bundles rather than paper copies…

INSTANT ELECTRONIC COURT BUNDLES

Creating electronic court bundles rather than paper copies doesn’t have to be hard decision. If you create your bundles using electronic document bundling software you can have both - and you don’t have to do any extra work!

  • No extra work. Bundles created using systems like Bundledocs will automatically produce your bundle in electronic format. Once complete you can easily download in PDF format, save, send and even print.

  • Power of electronic bundles. Even if you are required to print your final bundle, having an electronic copy available will always come in handy. For example, each bundle produced in Bundledocs is automatically bookmarked and the index (which is automatically generated) is fully hyperlinked too - one click and you’re there. Better still we offer in-built OCR functionality so your final ebundle is fully text searchable. Just think no more sieving through leaver arch files!

  • Create court bundles on the go. As you’re no longer tied to your desk and printer, you can create complete electronic bundles wherever you are. Work seamlessly on your case from any location, on any device, at any time.

complete compliance

One of our users Armstrong Family Law recently wrote an article about investing in Bundledocs bundle creation software to help with their move towards a “paperlite” (not paperless) office. In the article he mentioned how lawyers are notorious for having large piles of paper files in their office that are both a combination of current case files and files where cases have concluded. But how can producing electronic court bundles help with this?

  • Instantly Archive Electronic Bundles. Solicitors have to keep files for at least 6 years in order to comply with the requirements of the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct. As such having the ability to save electronic records is great for those that want to reduce paper storage whilst still remaining compliant. Paperlite office here you come!

  • Works with your system. Bundledocs makes it even easier to archive electronic court bundles with our range of integration partners, including: iManage, NetDocuments, Tikit TFB Partner for Windows, Dropbox and many more. Better still we have an Open API which makes integrating with third parties easy.

MAXIMIZE SAVINGS

  • Reduce unnecessary printing costs. Using tools like Bundledocs you no longer need to print bundles unnecessarily. Produce electronically, collaboratively work with others, electronically share with anyone that needs a copy and only print where you need to.

  • Work with anyone. Do you need to work with colleagues in different offices? Or share bundles with clients? Or even collaborate with the other side? There are a range of features available to make document production simple - and will save you time and money too.

  • Changes are instant. Build your bundle up over time, make changes as you go and save all the last minute stress. Make a change? Your page numbering is instantly updated with a single click. With no limit to the amount of changes you can make, you can draft again and again until you get it just right.

What is a Closing Book? (And How to Create Yours in Minutes)

If you need to create a closing book then you’ve come to the right place. In today’s post we will cover what a closing book is and how to create an electronic closing book in minutes.

What_Is_A_Closing_Book_How_To_Create_Closing_Binder_Bundledocs.png

What is a Closing Book?

A closing book is used to summarize and organize all relevant documents generated through a transaction. The closing book contains large volumes of documents that are converted into a single PDF file which is fully searchable, indexed and bookmarked. Once completed the closing book can be distributed electronically or in paper format.

A closing book can also be referred to as closing binders, record books, closing transactions, transaction deal bibles, closing bibles… the list goes on. A lot has changed in the world of document production in recent years and there are now tools to help make the process of preparing and delivering closing binders much easier. Using closing book software can enhance customer satisfaction, save hours of work, reduce costly printing and distribution costs - and not to mention, it’s much more environmentally friendly!

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s how simple it is to create a professional closing binder with Bundledocs…

How to Create a Closing Book with Bundledocs

(Don’t waste time and money creating closing books. Bundledocs does the hard work for you!)

 
 

Creating a closing book is made easy with Bundledocs electronic closing binder software. If you need to create a closing book, here’s how it works…

  1. CREATE YOUR CLOSING BOOK. First we will need to create our closing binder and create any folders/sub-folders needed.

  2. ADD DOCUMENTS TO YOUR CLOSING BOOK. Once we have created our booklet, the next step will be to add our documents. You can upload files of any time (word documents, PDF, excel, images, emails etc.) and access them regardless of where they’re stored (local C-Drive, Windows Explorer, Dropbox or your DMS iManage, NetDocuments, Actionstep, Worldox). Check out our Bundledocs Integration Partners for a full listing.

  3. CUSTOMISE YOUR CLOSING BOOK. Once you’ve uploaded your documents you can simply drag and drop to place them in the correct order. Now that everything is in place, we can customise the look and feel of our closing booklet. For example: Add a custom cover page, customize your index/table of contents page, change your page numbering etc. You can even choose what format you want your final book.

  4. DOWNLOAD YOUR CLOSING BOOK OR SECURELY SHARE WITH OTHERS. When you are ready to complete your electronic closing casebook, simply click the Generate button. Your cover page, index page and transaction documents will be merged into a single PDF closing binder. Instantly available and ready to download or share electronically.
