Atkins Dellow on going hosted during the coronavirus pandemic

Newly formed Atkins Dellow was the Suffolk-based branch of London firm Atkins Thomson. Stepping out as an independent firm of 30 users in Bury St Edmunds they needed to choose new case and business management systems.

It was critical to hit the ground running with effective systems in place and operating when they launched the new company – even more so when that unexpectedly came to coincide with a global pandemic.

Nino Piccoli, one of the founding partners of the new firm said “It was important to us to have the flexibility of an agile hosted-system with established workflows for the different areas of our work and business.“ he carried on to say: “It was also vital that the legal accounting software fully integrated with the case management system and met all the needs of the business and our accounts personnel and was intuitive enough for all user fee earners and admin staff to work with.”

Nino was instrumental in the system selection process and reviewed a number of products and services from a number of potential suppliers. Atkins Dellow settled on Access Cloud and Access Legal Software – an Access company – for their case management and accounts, also choosing MyLegalSpace as their client portal & SafeChat as their client facing secure communications app, all provided by DPS through the cloud.
